GENERAL INFORMATION
Congratulations on your new sauna heater! Follow this user guide
to get the most from your product.
Taking dry saunas is a form of bathing that originates way back in
history. These hot sauna baths are best enjoyed at temperatures
of 60-90°C.
PRIOR TO USE
The first time you use the heater
Fill the stone compartment
NOTE! Always use dolerite stones (TylöHelo Sauna
Stones). Ordinary stones may damage the heater.
Do not use ceramic stones. Ceramic stones may
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. 50 mm above the top front edge. Do not
press the stones into place. Capacity: Approx. 7 kg of stones.
Place the stones loosely to allow optimum air circulation. The tubular
elements must neither be squeezed together nor against the side.
The sauna stones:
•
must tolerate extreme heat and fluctuations caused by water
being poured on them.
•
must be cleaned before use.
•
must have an uneven surface, so that the water clings to the
stone surface and evaporates efficiently.
•
must be 30-50 mm in size to allow air circulation in the stone
compartment. This will extend the life of the tubular elements.
NOTE! Never place stones on top of the side air
chambers. This will obstruct air circulation, cau-
sing the unit to overheat and the cut-out switch to
activate.

temperature that suits you best (usually 60-90°C). You can then
leave the temperature setting at this level.
