•
Make sure that there are no non-unsuitable object on top of the heater or
in the sauna room before starting the sauna heater.
•
Do not touch the top of the heater. This will cause severe burns.
•
Incorrect ventilation or an incorrectly located sauna heater can, under
certain circumstances, cause excessive drying of the wood in the sauna
and create a fire hazard.
•
Cover sauna floors with a non-slip material.
•
Never hose down the sauna.
•
There must always be at least 50 mm insulation directly behind the wood
panelling in the sauna (no other material may be used, such as particle
board, plaster, etc).
•
Sauna doors must always open outwards. All that should be needed to
open the sauna door is just a little light pressure.
•
Do not use the sauna for any purpose other than sauna bathing.
•
Do not install more than one sauna heater in a sauna room, unless you
follow exactly the special instructions for twin-heater installations.
•
Sauna fragrances, etc. may ignite if poured undiluted into the stone
compartment.
•
Never leave young children unattended in the sauna.
•
Sauna bathing is not always suitable for persons in poor health. Consult
your doctor for advice.
•

INSTALLATION
Fig. 1.
Tylö Compact sauna heater with integral control panel.
Installing the sauna heater.
The sauna heater should be placed on the same wall as the door, see
figure 6. In an exceptional circumstance, the heater may be placed on a
side wall, but as close as possible to the wall with the door. Fit the
heater 170 mm above the floor, observing the regulations for the
minimum distance to the side wall.
Tylö sauna heaters are connected by a standard cable (Fk or EKK)
approved for permanent installation. The cable (EKK) or conduit is laid
on the outside of any heating insulation; see fig. 4. A single-core cable
(Fk) should be protected by a plastic conduit up to the heater, or in
flexible metal conduit with internal insulation.
When the heater has been installed, a set screw (I, figs. 4) locks it in
place so that the heater cannot be removed from the wall.

A = standard installation. B = recess installation. Please refer to the
table for minimum distances to side wall (X,Y).

BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS
The importance of correct sauna ventilation.
Incorrect sauna ventilation can result in hot floors and benches,
scorched walls and ceilings (the temperature limit control is triggered)!
So we do urge you to follow our instructions for sauna ventilation
carefully.
Adjust the air outlet to evacuate 6–8 cu.m. of air per person, per hour,
when the sauna is in operation.
Mechanical sauna ventilation is not to be recommended, as the forced air
supply can cause a fire hazard through the wooden panelling drying out.
Fig. 6. Sauna heater and door on the same wall.
The "air circulation" created by the door should work together with the
hot air generated by the heater. To facilitate this, the heater should be
placed on the same wall as the door (If exceptional circumstances
require the heater to be fitted to a side wall, make sure it is located in
close proximity to the wall with the door).
Fig. 7. Inlet vent always directly below the heater.
The inlet vent should be driven straight through the wall directly below
the centre of the heater. The cross-section of the vent for a family
sauna is approx. 125 Sq.cm.
Fig. 8. The outlet vent should never discharge directly
into the open air.
Position the air inlet and outlet vents as far away from one another as
possible (diagonally opposite). The outlet vent should be located high
on a wall or in the ceiling, and should have the same cross-section
area as the inlet vent.
Spent air should always be led back into the same room from which it is
drawn into the sauna – it must never be discharged directly into the
open air. In this way, the air flowing from the sauna is continually being
replenished in the room outside. This thermal ventilation method
always works, no matter whether the pressure in adjacent rooms is
negative or positive.
If there is a gap above the sauna ceiling, do not seal it. To ventilate a
cavity above the sauna, drill or cut at least one ventilation hole into the
cavity through the wall on which the sauna door is located.
Alt. A: Outlet vent through the sauna wall (seen from above). The vent
is placed high up, near the ceiling.
Alt. B: Outlet vent through the cavity above the sauna ceiling (seen
from the side).
Alt. C: Outlet vent through a drum under the ceiling in the sauna (seen
from the side). The outlet duct should be placed at an angle between
the ceiling and the wall. The drum can be built of wooden panelling and
have the same area as the outlet vent.
Fig. 10. Recommendations for sauna construction:
A. Floor frame, corner posts, studs, ceiling frame.
B. Battens, rafters, vents.
C. 50 mm mineral wool as heat insulation, approx. 20 mm air gap
between insulation and outer wall.
D. 12 mm wooden panel in walls and ceilings. There should always be
at least 50 mm of insulation behind the wooden panel; no other
material, such as particle board or plaster, may be used.
E. Bonded, non-slip plastic floor-covering, extending approx. 50 mm up
the walls behind the wooden panelling.
F. Inlet vents should always be fully open. May be fitted with a
shuttered vent on the outside.
1900/2100
G. Outlet vent, can be fitted with a sliding hatch to adjust through-flow.
1900/2100
H. Benches of at least 22 mm thick knot-free pine (alternatively aspen,
lime or obeche).
I.
Drainage channel (recommended in public saunas). Never place a
drainage channel or drain under the sauna heater.
