5. Troubleshooting
If the heater or the sauna doesn't perform as you think they should, check according to the list below. Make sure you have
selected the correct heater to match the sauna room's properties. Our website has instructions for selecting a suitable
heater: www.tylohelo.com
The heater is too hot (red-hot)
The draft exceeds -12Pa
- lower the draft with the damper
The stones are laid too tightly or they are too small.
- place the stones more loosely and use stones that are min 10 cm in diameter.
There's too much wood, or the pieces are too small.
- Table 2 has the maximum amounts of wood for the heater, do not use more.
- Do not burn large amounts of small pieces of wood, because their temporary heating effect is high.
- Let the previous batch of wood become embers before adding the next batch.
There's smoke in the sauna room, the draft is bad.
Turn off all equipment that may cause low pressure.
Is the damper open?
Is the connection pipe sealed against the heater and the flue?
Is the alternative flue opening sealed with the included cover?
Are the heater's soot hatches securely shut?
Is there ash in the heater channels?
Is the interconnecting pipe from the heater to the flue free from ash?
Is the flue completely open? Is it unswept, filled with snow, covered with winter cover etc.
Is the chimney in good condition? Cracks, weathering.
Is the draft height (chimney height) sufficient to the surrounding environment?
- If there are trees close by, a steep hill etc., the chimney needs to be over 3.5 m measured from the floor.
Is the flue size correct?
- A minimum of ½ a brick chimney or, depending on the heater model, either a 115 mm or 130 mm round flue.
The stones do not become hot enough.
Have you burned enough wood in the furnace?
Burn enough wood in the heater, refer to the amounts of wood in Table 2.
Is the draft too weak?
Is the amount of stones correct?
- At the sides, there should be stones to the level of the sides, and in the middle, only half a stone can raise above the side
level.
Are the stones too tightly packed?
- Place the stones loosely, so there will be enough space between the stones.
Are the stones of good quality and the right size?
- Use peridolite or dunite stones, min 10 cm in diameter. Place
flat stones vertically.
The sauna room won't become warm enough.
Are the doors, windows and air conditioning closed, and the combustion air opening open?
Is the sauna new, are the wooden structures damp for some other reason?
Is the heater used correctly?
Have you burned enough wood in the furnace?
- Burn according to instructions.
Is the draft too strong?
- Use the damper to adjust the draft.
Is the draft too weak?
Has the heater been sized correctly?
Is the draft height (chimney height) sufficient to the surrounding environment?
- If there are trees close by, a steep hill etc., the chimney needs to be over 3.5 m measured from the floor.

- At the sides, there should be stones to the level of the sides, and in the middle, only half a stone can raise above the side
level.
