• Do not touch the top of the heater. This will cause severe burns.

• Incorrect ventilationor an incorrectly located sauna heater can, under certain

circum st ances,causeexcessivedrying of thewoodin thesaunaandcreatea
fire haza rd.

• Coversaunafloors with a non-slip material.

• Never hose down the sauna.

• There must always be at least 1.7 in. insulation directly behind the wood

panellingin the sauna (no other material may be used, such as particle board,
plaster, etc).

• Saunadoorsmust always open outwards. All that should be needed to open

the sauna door is just a littlelight pressure. Neverprovidethe door with any
locking or latching. Makesure that the door do not cause anyentrapment.

• Do not use thesauna for any purpose other than saunabathing.

• Do not install morethanonesaunaheaterin a sauna room, unless youfollow

exa ctlythe specialinstructions for twin-heate rinstallatio ns.

• Saunafragrances, etc. mayignite if poured undiluted intothe rock

compartme nt.

• Neverleaveyoungchildren unattendedin the sauna.

• Sauna bathing is not always suitable for persons in poor health. Consult your

doctor for advice.

• Enjoy your sauna bath as long as it feels pleasant, prolonged exposure is

capableof inducing hyperthermia *.

• Store this information in a safe place.

*Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a

levelseveral degrees above the normal temperature of 98.6

°

F. The symptoms
of hypothermiainclude an increase in the internal temperature of the body,
dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness and fainting. The effect of hyperthermia include:

a) Failure to perceive heat;
b) Failure to recognize the need of exit the room;
c) Unawareness of impending hazard;
d) Fatal damage of pregnant women;
e) Physical inability to exit the room; and
f) Unconsciousness

saunas Tylarium/CC20/CC200 should be installed).

Installingthe sauna heater.

The sauna heater should be placed on the same wall as the door, see figure 7. In an
exceptional circumstance, the heater may be placed on a side wall, but as close as
possibleto the wall with the door. Fit the heater 10½ in. above the floor, observing the
regulationsfor the minimum distance to the side wall. You can use the boxwhich
containsthe saunarocks to help youwheninstallingTylö heaters(not the Combi-U).
When placed on its short end, the boxis 10½ in. high.

Tylö sauna heaters areconnected by a normal standard wire or cableapprove dfor
permanent installation. The cable or conduit is laid on the outside of any heating
insulation; see figs. 10, 11 and 12. Single-corecablesmust be protected by a flexible
metal conduit up to the heater. When the heater has been installed, a set screw (I,
figs. 11 and 12) locks it in place on the supporting brackets. This prevents the heater
from being removed from the wall.

Important ! The enclosed metal plate ”Caution, Reduce the risk of fire.” must be
mounted on the interior wall adjacent to the heater. The enclosed metal plate
”Warning, Reduce the risk of overhea ting.” must be mounted on the outside of the
room at about eye level where clearly visible.

Building Instructions

The importance of correct sauna ventilation.

Incorrect sauna ventilation can result in hot floors and benches, scorched walls and
ceilings (the temperature limit control is triggered)! So we do urge you to follow our
instructionsfor saunaventilatio ncarefully.
Adjust the air outlet to evacuate8-10.5 cubic yards. of air per person,per hour, when
the sauna is in operation.
Mechanical saunaventilation is not to be recommended, as the forced air supply can
causea fire haza rdthrough the woode npanellingdrying out.

Fig. 7. Sauna heater and door on the same wall.

The “air circulation” created by the door should work together with the hot air generated by
thehea te r.To facilitatethis, the heate rshould be placedon the same wall as the door(If
ex ce ptio n a lcircumstance srequirethe heaterto be fitted to a side wall, makesure it is
locate din closeproximityto the wall with thedoor).

Fig. 14. Inlet vent always directly below the heater.

The inlet vent should be driven straight through the wall directly below the center of the
heater.The cross-section of the vent for a family sauna is approx. 19 sq.in., forlarger
saunasapprox. 46 sq.in. If possible, it is an advantageto have a shower on the other
side of the wall. A flap valve may be fixed to the outside of the inlet vent to prevent
waterseepinginto thewall.

Fig. 15. The outlet vent should never discharge directly into
the open air.

Position the air inlet and outlet vents as far away from one another as possible
(diagonallyopposite). The outlet vent should be locatedhigh on a wall or in the ceiling,
and should have the same cross-se ction areaas the inlet vent.
Spent air should always be led back into the same room from which it is drawn into
the sauna – it must never be discharged directly into the open air. In this way, the air
flowingfrom the sauna is continuallybeing replenis hed in theroom outside. This
ther ma lventilationmetho dalwaysworks,no matterwhetherthe press u r ein adja cent
rooms is negative or positive.
If there is a gap abovethe saunaceiling, do not seal it. To ventilate a cavity above the
sauna,drill or cut at least oneventilation hole into the cavity through the wall on which
the sauna dooris located.

Alt. A: Outlet vent through the sauna wall (seen from above). The vent is placed high
up, near the ceiling.

Alt. B: Outlet vent throughthe cavity abovethe saunaceiling (seenfrom the side).
Alt. C: Outlet vent through a drum under the ceiling in the sauna (see nfrom the side).

Theoutletduct shouldbe placed at an anglebetweentheceilingand the wall. The
drum can be built of woodenpanellingand have the sameareaas the outlet vent.

Special information for steam saunas
(Combi-U and Tylarium):

Avoid placing the outlet vent so that it is led into a part of the building which is kept
cold. This eliminatesthe risk for condens a tion.

Fig. 16. Recommendations for sauna construction:

A. Floorframe, cornerposts, studs, ceiling frame.
B. Batte n s ,rafte r s ,vents.
C. 3 in. mineral wool as heat insulation, approx. 3/4 in. air gap between insulation

and outer wall.

D. 1/2 in. wooden panel in walls and ceilings. There should always be at least 3 in. of

insulation behind the wooden panel; no other material, such as particle board or
plaster, may be used.

E. Bonded, non-slip plastic floor-covering, extending approx.2 in. up the walls behind

the wooden panelling.

F. Inlet vents should always be fully open. May be fitted with a shuttered vent on the

outside.

G. Outlet vent, can be fitted with a sliding hatch to adjust through-flow.
H. Benches of at least 7/8 in. thick knot-free pine (alternatively aspen, lime or

obeche).

I. Drainage channel (recommendedin public saunas). Never place a drainage

channel or drain under the saunaheater.

Fig. 17. Heater guard.

The stones and the top of the sauna heater get very hot! In order to reduce the risk of
accidental contact, Tylö alwaysrecommend that a heater guard be fixed as shown in
the sketches.

Some words of advice:

• Thereshould neverbe a drain in a sauna. However,all public saunasshould have
a drainagechannel (I, fig. 16) connected to a drain out-sidethe sauna (no drainage
channel is needed in a private sauna).

• If the sauna has a window in the door or wall, treat the lower molding with boat
varnish and seal the joint between the glass and the molding with a water-resistant
siliconeseala nt.This prevents any condens ation on the glassfrom seepingintothe
wood.

• Varnish the threshold and door handles a few times with boat varnish to maintain
the finish and simplify cleaning the sauna. Benches, decorative edging and back
supports should be oiled on both sides with Tylö sauna oil (this is particularly
important in the Tylarium).

Note: 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.

• Treat the bucket and ladle with boat varnish, or oil them with Tylö sauna oil. The
bucket will remain watertight and the wood will be beautifully preserve d.Never
leavethe woodenbucket in the saunaafter a sauna bath.

• Beforeyou enjoy your first saunabath, heat the saunaroom up to 195ºF and leave
the heater to run for about 1 hour. This will rid the room of that “new” smell.

• Clean your sauna regularly. Scrub the benches and floor with soft soap. It is a mild,

gentle detergent and leaves a pleasant fragrance.

General Information

Fig. 18. Filling the rock compartment.

Only use rocks of the dolerite type (Tylö sauna rocks), as “ordinary” rocks can damage
theunit. Fill the rock compar t me n taroun dthe elements frombottom to top, stacking
the rocks approx. 3 in. abovethe front edge at the top of the unit. Do not press the
stones into place.

Fig. 19.

Never place stones above the side air chambers. This prevents air circulation, the unit
becomes overhea tedand the temperature limit control is triggered.

Check the stone compartment at least once a year.

This is especially important for public saunas and saunas in frequentuse. Remove all
stones from the compartment. Clean any small stones, grit, gravel and chalky
deposits from the bottom of the stone compartment. Use only stones which are whole
and intact, replacing them when necessary with new dolerite stones.

Temperature limit control.

Tylö sauna heaters have a temperature limit control built into the terminal box on the
heater. This is activated automatically if there is any risk of overheating. More often
than not, the cut-off is triggered because of incorrect sauna ventilation or an incorrectly
located sauna heater. Call an expert to reset the temperature limit control.

Fig. 20. Built-in humidifier (5.3 – 8.3 kW).

Fill the built-in reservoirwith waterbeforeturning on the sauna, and you will have a
pleasantlyhumid sauna right from the start, which acceleratesand stimulates
perspiration. You can also add a few drops of sauna fragranceto the waterin the
humidifier.

Sprinkling water on the stones

Should always be done with the ladle, never with a hose or bucket.

Note: The stones must be hot.
