USER GUIDE

GENERAL INFORMATION

Congratulations on your new sauna heater! Follow this user guide
to get the most from your purchase.
Wet and dry saunas are forms of bathing which originate way
back in history. These hot sauna baths are best at temperatures
between 145-190°F. The temperatures are measured 8-10 inches
from the ceiling above the sauna heater.

BEFORE USE

The fi rst time you use the heater
CAUTION! Always use dolerite stones (Tylö Sauna
Stones). "Ordinary" stones can damage the heater.
Do not use ceramic stones. Ceramic stones can
damage the heater. The heater guarantee does not
cover damage caused by ceramic stones.
Fill the stone compartment around the heating elements from the
bottom to the top, to approx. 2" above the front top edge.
Do not press the stones into place. Capacity: Approx. 44 lb of
stones.
Place the stones loosely to allow optimum air circulation. The tu-
bular heating elements must not be squeezed together or against
the side.
Sauna stones must:
• tolerate extreme heat and fl uctuations caused by water being
poured on them.
• be cleaned before use.
• have an uneven surface, so that the water "clings" to the
stone surface and evaporates effi ciently.
• be between 1-1/2" to 2" in size to allow air circulation in the
stone compartment. This will increase the life of the tubular
elements.
CAUTION! Never place stones on top of the side air
chambers. Covering the vents will obstruct air cir-
culation, the unit will overheat and the temperature
safety switch will activate.

Before each use

Check the following
Check that:
• there are no foreign objects in the sauna cabin, on or in the
heater.
• the door and any windows to the sauna cabin are closed.
• that the sauna door opens outwards with a little pressure.
How to Sauna
• When taking a sauna, allow time to relax completely.
• Remove clothing and jewelry...if required, wear a towel loose-
ly.
• After 10 minutes or when perspiration begins, leave sauna
and relax in dressing area... follow with a cool shower.
• Cooling time should equal time spent in sauna. Enter sauna
room again and stay 5 or 10 minutes.
• Repeat the cycle 2 or 3 times; end with a brisk shower...rinse
in cool water.
• Dress when completely dry and perspiration has stopped.
• Some sauna bathers enjoy the soothing eff ect of steam by
splashing water on the heated sauna rocks. Use only one
dipper full (approx. ½ cup) at a time and take care to keep
clear of the steam as it rises off the rocks.
• Do not smoke, exercise or drink alcoholic beverages in the
sauna room.
• Do not pour chlorinated pool or spa water on the heater or
corrosion damage may result.
