IMPORTANT!
• Do not interrupt the power supply to the unit.
• Tonic must always be connected to an RCD/GFCI and an isolator switch.
• A steam shower that is used continuously for more than 2 hours at a time must
be ventilated with 10–20 cubic metres of air per bather per hour.
• De-scale the built-in steam generator regularly according to instructions. (See
'Removing limescale'.) In hard water areas (calcium levels over 5°dH), we
recommend installing a water softener or the Tylö automatic de-scaler.
• WARNING! Hot steam from the steam head. Never leave young children
unattended in the steam cabinet.
Installation
Electrical installation
Electrical installation work must be carried out by a qualified electrician in
accordance with the wiring diagram. Tonic must always be connected to a
residual current device (RCD) or ground fault circuit interrupter (GCFI) and an
isolator switch. Electrical (and plumbing) connections (fig. 1).
Water
Tonic is connected to hot and cold water supplies: hot = red, cold = blue (fig. 1).
The internal diameter of the feed pipes for the water should not be less than 8 mm.
Check that water pipes are not leaking before electricity is
Use the services of a professional for connecting water and drainage.
Functions / Maintenance
Steam generator
Tonic has a built-in steam generator that incorporates the following features:
Automatic water refilling
Aluminium water tank
in stainless steel
Automatic emptying function 1 hour after the completion of the
steam bath cycle
Automatic flushing (4 times) after emptying
level indicator
Electronic low-water cut-off
electrodes
Continuous steam production
regardless of the quality or level of the water
temperature limit control
Integral water filter
Control panel, H1 – Tonic
See separate instruction.
Temperature limit control
The steam generator is equipped with a integral temperature limit control.
Main switch
Tonic must always be connected to a main switch for use when the unit is being
serviced or is due to remain unused for a fairly lengthy period of time. The steam
generator's automatic emptying function is deactivated whenever power to the unit is
interrupted.
Automatic emptying
This feature substantially reduces the build-up of calcium deposits and impurities in
the water tank. In order for the automatic emptying and flushing function to work, the
switch between the mains supply and Tonic must not be turned off until at least 80
minutes after the timer on the control panel has switched off.
WARNING! Check to make sure that no one is in the steam cabinet when the water
tank empties. The water is hot!
Automatic emptying with DIP-switch
The steam generator is factory-set to empty some of the water automatically after
4 hours.
In hard water areas (more than 5dH°) or when the steam generator is in use for
more than 4 hours a day, the water tank should be emptied more frequently. Set
the desired interval for automatic emptying using the DIP switches as shown.
WARNING! The water is hot!
Removing limescale
Limescale/calcium deposits must be removed at regular intervals as specified in the
table below. This gets rid of calcium and other deposits that have become encrusted
on the walls and heating elements of the water tank. Regular de-scaling prolongs the
life of the steam generator. In hard-water areas where calcium levels exceed 5°dH,
we recommend the installation of a water-softener or a Tylö Automatic de-scaler.
Instructions for de-scaling Tonic Steam Generator
•
Switch on the steam generator and let it run until the water in the tank begins
to boil.
•
Switch the generator off and wait for approximately 5 minutes.
•
Unscrew the capping nut (fig 2), use a funnel to pour the de-scaling agent.
Screw the capping nut back in place and leave the de-scaling agent to work.
•
Approximately 1 hour later, the steam generator will automatically empty
and flush the tank. After this the steam generator can be used again as
normal.

Connecting the water supply: Connect hot and cold water to the thermostatically
controlled mixer.
IMPORTANT! Pipes must be flushed clean before connecting the water feed to Tonic!
Flushing the pipes prevents swarf and other foreign bodies from entering the shower
mixer and the steam generator.
The water feed must be fitted with separate shut-off valves for use in the event of
leaks or when servicing the equipment.
Electrical installation
Electrical work must be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with the
wiring diagram.
Tonic must always be connected to a residual current device (RCD) or ground
fault circuit interrupter (GCFI) and an isolator switch.
Do not forget to earth/ground the equipment!
