Fig. 9. Heater guard.
The stones and the top of the sauna heater get very hot! In order to
reduce the risk of accidental contact, Tylö always recommend that a
heater guard be fixed as shown in the sketches.
Some words of advice:
• There should never be a drain in a sauna. However, all public
saunas should have a drainage channel (I, fig. 10) connected to a
drain out-side the sauna (no drainage channel is needed in a private
sauna).
• If the sauna has a window in the door or wall, treat the lower
moulding with boat varnish and seal the joint between the glass and
the moulding with a water-resistant silicone sealant. This prevents
any condensation on the glass from seeping into the wood.
• Varnish the threshold and door handles a few times with boat varnish
to maintain the finish and simplify cleaning the sauna. Benches,
decorative edging and back supports should be oiled on both sides
with Tylö sauna oil (this is particularly important in the Tylarium).
Note: All other wood in the sauna should be untreated.
• Install floor decking only if the floor is slippery. Floor decking is im-
practical and prolongs the drying time for any water spilt on the floor.
• Treat the bucket and ladle with boat varnish, or oil them with Tylö
sauna oil. The bucket will remain watertight and the wood will be
beautifully preserved. Never leave the wooden bucket in the sauna
after a sauna bath.
• Before you enjoy your first sauna bath, heat the sauna room up to
90°C and leave the heater to run for about 1 hour. This will rid the
room of that "new" smell.
• Clean your sauna regularly. Scrub the benches and floor with soft
soap. It is a mild, gentle detergent and leaves a pleasant fragrance.

General Information

Fig. 11. Filling the stone compartment.
Only use stones of the dolerite type (Tylö sauna stones), as "ordinary"
stones can damage the unit. Fill the stone compartment around the
elements from bottom to top, stacking the stones approx. 50 mm above
the front edge at the top of the unit. Do not press the stones into place.
Fig. 12.
Never place stones above the side air chambers. This prevents air
circulation, the unit becomes overheated and the temperature limit
control is triggered.
Check the stone compartment at least once a year.
This is especially important for public saunas and saunas in frequent
use. Remove all stones from the compartment. Clean any small
stones, grit, gravel and chalky deposits from the bottom of the stone
compartment. Use only stones which are whole and intact, replacing
them when necessary with new dolerite stones.
Temperature limit control.
Tylö sauna heaters have a temperature limit control built into the
terminal box on the heater. This is activated automatically if there is any
risk of overheating. More often than not, the cut-off is triggered because
of incorrect sauna ventilation or an incorrectly located sauna heater.
Call an expert to reset the temperature limit control.
Fig. 13. Built-in humidifier.
Fill the built-in reservoir with water before turning on the sauna, and you
will have a pleasantly humid sauna right from the start, which
accelerates and stimulates perspiration. You can also add a few drops
of sauna fragrance to the water in the humidifier.
Sprinkling water on the stones
Must always be done with a ladle onto the stones, never with a hose
or bucket. Note: The stones must be hot.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Temperature setting.
The Roman numerals indicate a rising temperature scale. Experiment
to find the temperature that suits you best. Begin for example by turning
the thermostat dial to position IV. If you later find that you would prefer a
higher or lower temperature, adjust the dial up or down until you find
the ideal bathing temperature for you (usually 70–90°C). Once you
have found the right temperature, you can leave the dial on this setting.

Timer settings

The first figures, 1–2–3, indicate the length of time the sauna will
operate. The following 9 figures are used to pre-set start-up times.
For immediate operation: First turn the dial past the first figure 3 and
then back again to the figure corresponding to the length of time you
wish the heater to run for (1, 2 or 3 hours). The timer turns the heater
off automatically when the 0 position is reached.
For automatic operation: Turn the dial to the figure 9 and then back to
the desired pre-set time (in other words, the number of hours before the
heater automatically switches itself on). The timer turns off
automatically when the 0 position is reached.
You may turn the dial forwards or backwards whenever you wish, for
example, to switch off the sauna manually (turn to 0) or to change a
setting you have already made.
HOW TO GET THE MOST
OUT OF YOUR SAUNA
• Always shower before going into the sauna.
• Take a towel in with you to sit on. Stay inside the sauna only as long
as it feels pleasant. Go out now and then to cool off and freshen up
with a quick shower.
• Show consideration for other bathers. Don't set the temperature
higher than is pleasant for all those using the sauna.
• Young children love saunas. Let them splash about in a tub of water
on the floor or the lower benches where it is somewhat cooler. But
remember to keep an eye on them at all times.
• Round off your sauna with a long, cool shower.
•
Never get dressed right after your sauna. This will only cause you to
perspire. Relax, treat yourself to a cold drink and enjoy a sensation of
true well-being. Don't get dressed until your body has cooled down
and your pores have closed once again.
You can enjoy traditional dry and wet saunas with all
Tylö heaters.
Dry and wet saunas are bathing forms whose history is shrouded in the
mists of time. These hot baths are best enjoyed at temperatures
between 70ºC and 90ºC.
In dry saunas, where the stones are not sprinkled with water, the
relative humidity (RH) is as low as 5–10%.
In wet saunas, when water is ladled on the hot stones from time to
time, the relative humidity rises steeply to 10–25%, and you can feel
how the quivering waves of heat massage their way into your skin. A
few drops of Tylö Sauna Fragrance added to the water poured over the
stones give a pleasantly invigorating sensation, clearing nasal cavities
and helping you breathe more easily. A great way to round off any
sauna is to experience the pleasant tingling sensation when you pour a
little extra water over the stones. Wet saunas are considered by most
people to be the traditional way to enjoy a sauna, and they are the most
popular too.
Important! Use ordinary drinking water. Salt-water, swimming pool or
spa water will damage the heating elements. Never hose down the
heater. Water sprinkling must always be done with a ladle onte the
stones. Devices that provide continuous water sprinkling are not
permissible.
In the event of any problems, please contact the retailer where you
purchased the equipment.
