Tip:
• There should never be a drain in a sauna. However, all public
saunas should have a drainage channel (I, fig. 19) connected to a
drain outside the sauna (private saunas do not need a drainage
channel).
• If the sauna has a window in the door or wall, treat the whole lower
moulding with spar varnish and seal the joint between the glass and
moulding with wet room silicone to prevent condensation on the
glass surfaces from leaking into the joint.
• Varnish the threshold and door handles with two coats of spar
varnish to maintain the wood's finish and make it easier to clean the
sauna. Sauna benches, decorative screens and back rests should
be oiled on both sides with Tylö sauna oil (this is particularly
important in the Tylarium).
NB: All other wood in the sauna should be untreated.
• Install floor decking only if the floor is slippery. Floor decking is
impractical and prolongs the drying time for any water spilt on the
floor.
• Coat the bucket and ladle with spar varnish, or oil them with Tylö
sauna oil. This will keep the bucket watertight and keep the wood
beautifully preserved. Never leave the wooden bucket in the sauna
after taking a sauna.
• Before using the sauna for the first time, heat the sauna cabin up to
approx. 90°C and leave the heater running for about 1 hour. This
will clear the "new" smell out of the sauna.
• Clean the sauna regularly. Scrub the benches and floor with soft
soap detergent, which is gentle and leaves a pleasant fragrance.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fig. 21 - 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. 22
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.
Fig. 23
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 created 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.
A. Fragrance holder
B. Air humidifier
Clean the fragrance holder and air humidifier as required. Remove
them and rinse them under running water.
USER GUIDE
Expression and TS
Setting the temperature
The digits indicate a rising temperature scale. Find the sauna
temperature that suits you best. Begin, for example, by turning the dial
to position 4. If you want the sauna to be hotter or cooler, adjust the
dial up or down until you find your ideal temperature (usually 70-80°C).
After this, you can always leave the temperature setting at this level.
Time setting on control panel TS 16-3(B), TS 30-03
and Expression sauna heater.
The first digits 1-2-3 indicate the connection time. The subsequent 9
digits indicate the preselected time.
For direct connection: Turn the dial past the first 3 and then back to
the required connection time (1, 2 or 3 hours).
The timer will stop automatically when it reaches 0.
Automatic connection: Turn the dial to 9, and then back to the
required preselected time (= the time the heater is to automatically
come on). The timer will stop automatically when it reaches 0.
You can turn the dial forwards or backwards at any time, e.g. to
manually stop the heater (turn to 0) or to change a previous setting.
Time setting on control panel TS 30-012
The digits 1-12 on the timer indicate the connection time. The sauna
heater is connected for the number of hours that the dial is set at, and
automatically switches off when it reaches 0.
You can change the time setting at any time, and you can manually
switch off the heater by turning the dial to 0.
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.
You can enjoy traditional dry and wet saunas with
all Tylö sauna heaters.
Dry and wet saunas have long historic traditions. A 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.
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.
In the event of problems, please contact the retailer where you purchased
the equipment.
