WARNING!
•
Cover sauna floors with a non-slip material.
•
Never hose down the sauna.
•
Sauna doors must always open outwards. All that should be needed
to open the sauna door is just a little light pressure.
•
The sauna room must only be used for sauna bathing.
•
Do not install more than one sauna heater in a sauna room, unless
you follow exactly the special instructions for twin-heater installations.
•
The sauna door should be closed when the sauna is turned on.
•
Never leave young children unattended in the sauna.
•
Sauna bathing is not always suitable for persons in poor health.
Consult your doctor for advice.
•
The sauna stones and the top of the sauna are very hot! To avoid
unintended touching, Tylö recommends that a guard railing should
always be installed around the heater.
•
Note! In addition to these instructions, please also refer to the instructions
provided with the sauna heater.
ASSEMBLING
Fig. A-F. Layout.
The scetches show the following:
A: The layout of the sauna room and in wich order the wall sections are
to be assembled.
B1-B3: Alternative layout of the sauna room.
C: The measurements of the room.
D: The ceiling sections and the measurements of the guide bars.
E: Assemblage of the floor frame.
F: The number of screws, nails, jointing irons and angle brackets.
Fig. 1. Floor frame.
Put the floor frames in place (fig. E) and check the diagonal
dimensions, corner-to-corner across the frame. Use a spirit level to
make sure that the frame is lying perfectly flat. If necessary, insert
wedges under any parts of the frame that need lifting. IMPORTANT:
For perfect results it is absolutely essential that the floor frame is
horizontal.
Fig. 2. Assembling the walls.
Place the wall section on the floor frame according to figures A and B.
Attach the guide bar as shown in figure 2a.
The sections interlock to fit snugly. Tap each section gently into place
(fig. 2b), hammering against a block of wood to avoid damaging the
section. Screw the joining plate or L-shaped bracket into the top of the
panels to fasten the sections securely together (fig. 2c).
Fig. 3a-3g. Fitting the door.
Can be fitted right or left-hung.
Fig. 4. Fitting the ceiling.
Pull the flexible hose about 100 mm out of the top of the wall section.
Electrical wiring for installing heater with inbuilt control panel (fig. 4a).
Electrical wiring for installing heater with separate control panel (fig.
4b).
Saw the guide bars to the ceiling sections according to the
measurements given in figure D. Nail the guide bars to the panelled
side as shown in figure 4c. Seal the junctions between the wall and the
ceiling sections with insulation wadding (fig. 4d). Put the ceiling
sections in place and push them together.
Fig. 5, 9. Interior fittings.
Saw the bench support battens to size (fig. 5, 9) and screw them to the
rear of the left and right-hand walls, as shown. Then put the pre-
fabricated rear sauna benches in place.
Fig. 6. Interior corner and ceiling trim.
Nail the interior corner and ceiling trim in place (fig. 6a). Screw the vent
hatch over the air outlet hole (fig. 6b). Make sure that the hatch opens
and closes freely.
Fig. 7. Exterior corner and ceiling trim.
Nail the exterior corner and ceiling trim in place (fig. 7a). Screw the
vent hatch over the air inlet hole (fig. 7b).
Fig. 8. Adjusting the door.
If the door jams or is stiff, the likely cause is that the frame under the
door section is not perfectly horizontal but slopes to the left or right.
You can correct this by lifting the floor frame at a point about 30 cm in
from one of the front corners. Use a crowbar or similar tool to check
whether the door moves mora easily when the floor frame is in this
raised position. If this is the case, fit a wedge or block under the frame.
If there is no improvement, try the same procedure on the other side of
the door.
Some words of advice:
•
There should never be a drain in a sauna. However, all public saunas
should have a drainage channel connected to a drain out-side the sauna
(no drainage channel is needed in a private sauna).
•
If the sauna has a window in the door or wall, treat the lower moulding
with boat varnish and seal the joint between the glass and the moulding
with a water-resistant silicone sealant. This prevents any condensation
on the glass from seeping into the 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.
Note: All other wood in the sauna should be untreated.
•
Install floor decking only if the floor is slippery. Floor decking is im-
practical 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
preserved. Never leave the wooden bucket in the sauna after a sauna
bath.
•
Clean your sauna regularly. Scrub the benches and floor with soft soap.
It is a mild, gentle detergent and leaves a pleasant fragrance.
HOW TO GET THE MOST
OUT OF YOUR SAUNA
•
Always shower before going into 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 and freshen up
with a quick shower.
•
Show consideration for other bathers. Don’t set the temperature
higher than is pleasant for all those using the sauna.
•
Young children love saunas. Let them splash about in a tub of water
on the floor or the lower benches where it is somewhat 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. This will only cause you to
perspire. Relax, treat yourself to a cold drink and enjoy a sensation
of true well-being. Don’t get dressed until your body has cooled
down and your pores have closed once again.
In the event of any problems, please contact the retailer where
you purchased the equipment.
