GENERAL INFORMATION
Fig. 24 - filling the stone compartment
Only use dolerite stones (Tylö sauna stones), as "ordinary" stones can
damage the unit. Fill the stone compartment around the heating
elements from the bottom to the top and approx. 50 mm above the
front top edge, without pressing the stones into place.
Fig. 25
Never place stones on top of the side air chambers. Covering the
vents will obstruct air circulation, the unit will overheat and the cut-out
switch will activate.
Check the stone compartment at least once a year.
This is especially important for public saunas and saunas in frequent
use. Instructions: Remove all the stones from the compartment. Clean
any small stones, gravel and limescale deposits from the bottom of the
stone compartment. Only replace whole, undamaged stones. Replace
damaged stones with new dolerite stones as required.
Temperature cut-out
Tylö sauna heaters have a built-in temperature cut-out device in the
terminal box at the bottom of the heater. It activates automatically if
there is any risk of overheating. If the cut-out has activated, it is usually
because of poor ventilation, incorrect heater location or an incorrectly
filled stone compartment. Contact an electrician to reset the cut-out
device.

The ladle should always be used to sprinkle water on the stones,
never a hose or bucket. NB: The stones must be very hot.
A pleasant fragrance can be maintained by using fragrance essences.
Pour a few drops of the essence into the fragrance holder.
To maintain a comfortable basic level of humidity in the sauna, fill the
built-in air humidifier with water before switching on the sauna.

B. Air humidifier
Clean the fragrance holder and air humidifier as required. Remove
them and rinse them under running water.
Fig. 27-29 - wiring diagrams
Check the heater's data plate to ensure it is connected to the
correct voltage.
Don't forget - the installation must be earthed!
Main voltage and number of phases
Before connecting to voltages or numbers of phases not listed in the
above wiring diagram, contact Tylö Customer Service.
Positioning of thermistor (sensor)
The thermistor should be positioned 300 mm from the ceiling on wall
between the inlet and outlet vents (not above the sauna heater).
The thermistor wire can be extended outside of the sauna (2-core).
Tip: The thermometer should be placed at a height where the
temperature coincides with the exact numbers displayed on the H2.
NB: Seal any holes in the wall behind the thermistor.
Relay box (RB)
Installed outside and at any distance from the sauna. The relay box
must be positioned at a minimum distance of 1 metre from the H2.
Lighting
Connect the lighting according to the wiring diagram.
Option: external switch
An external switch (optional) can be connected to the control panel.
See wiring diagram supplied with external switch.
(Item No. 9090 8045).
Impulse deactivation: The switch has an on/off function each time it is
pressed.
Constant deactivation: The panel continues running until switched off,
but never longer than the set running time.
When the heater is on, the indicator light in the external switch is
illuminated. If the panel is programmed for a later start, the indicator
light flashes.
GUIDELINES FOR USING THE
SAUNA
• Always have a shower before entering 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 with a
refreshing shower.
• Show consideration for other sauna users. Don't set the
temperature higher than is pleasant for everyone using the sauna.
• Young children love saunas. Let them splash around in a tub of
water on the floor or on the lower bench, where it is 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, or you will start perspiring
again. Relax without your clothes on outside the sauna. Have a cold
drink and enjoy the sensation of true well-being. Don't get dressed
until your body has cooled down and your pores have closed.
Traditional saunas - dry saunas - wet saunas and
steam saunas
Dry and wet saunas have long historic traditions. A hot sauna is best
enjoyed at temperatures between 70-90°C.
In dry saunas, where the stones are not sprinkled with water, the
relative humidity (RH) is only 5–10%.
In wet saunas, where water is ladled onto the hot stones, the relative
humidity rises steeply to RH 10-25%, and you can feel the heat waves
vibrating in the air and massaging your skin. A few drops of Tylö
Sauna Fragrance added to the water poured over the stones bring a
pleasant, invigorating sensation to the nose and airways. Try rounding
off your sauna by pouring a little extra water over the stones, to
produce a pleasant tingling sensation on your skin. Wet saunas are
the most popular way of taking a sauna, and are generally considered
the most traditional method.
The Tylarium is a milder type of sauna taken at 45-70°C with
continuous stream production, producing a relatively high humidity of
20-65%. The H2 operating panel automatically keeps the air humidity
at the set level. The air humidity level can be can be changed at any
time while taking a sauna. To further increase the humidity level for a
short time, pour a ladle of water on the hot stones.
Important! Use ordinary drinking water. Salt water or brackish water
will damage the heating elements. Never use a hose to spray water
onto or into the heater. Always use the ladle to sprinkle water onto the
stones. Devices that provide continuous water sprinkling may not be
used in the sauna.
As an alternative, Tylö's certified product "Vattendraget" can be used
for easier water sprinkling.
In the event of problems, please contact the retailer where you purchased
the equipment.
