IMPORTANT
•
To avoid interrupting the power supply to the unit, do not fit a switch to the feeder cable.
•
Ensure that steam rooms that are used continuously for more than two hours at a time are
ventilated by 10–20 cubic metres of air per person and hour.
• The ambient temperature outside the Tylette installation should not exceed 35°C.
• De-scale the integral steam generator regularly according to instructions. (Please refer to the section
under the headline ‘Removing limescale deposits’.) In hard-water areas where calcium levels
exceed 5°dH, we recommend the installation of a water-softener or a Tylö Automatic de-calcifier.
• Clean the steam bath regularly. (Please refer to the section under the headline ‘Cleaning Tylette’.)
• WARNING! Hot steam from the steam nozzle. Never leave small children unattended in the steam
room.
•
WARNING! Ensure that no one is inside the steam bath when the tank is being emptied. The water
is very hot.
Installation.
Floor
Use a spirit level to ensure that the Tylette floor tray is standing level. Please see fig. 4 for details of
how to fit hinges. Tylette can also be installed on an existing floor of quarry tiles, marble or seamless
plastic floor-covering in a quality which is heat-resistant and has a low migration factor. Glue all plastic
and glass modules into place, carefully sealing them around the floor tray or floor (fig. 5-11, 14-15).
Use silicone to make a tight seal between the flooring and the various sections on both the inside and
outside (ill. 20). The surfaces must be clean and roughened up with sandpaper (fig. 6). The floor must
slope towards the drain, which is best placed in the centre of the room. The floor under the plastic and
glass modules must be clean, perfectly level and smooth.
If the hydro-spa is placed directly on an existing floor, the area surrounding the shower cabinet
must also be served by a floor drain.
General Information
All plastic and glass modules must be sealed with silicone adhesive (fig. 5-11, 14-15) and screwed into
place in the pre-drilled holes. Follow the layout shown in figure 1 and the detailed illustrations to see
where to place the various sections. First use sandpaper to roughen all the surfaces which are to be
glued and then wipe them clean with a damp cloth before applying adhesive (fig. 6).
Important! As the silicone adhesive is used to seal the gap between modules, it is important to apply
an unbroken film of silicone along the entire length of all surfaces to be glued.
Door
The door can be hung to open left or right and may be placed anywhere along the front of the Tylette
installation. Please see fig. 12 for details of how to fit hinges.
Adjustment of the wheel suspension (fig 14)
Fixate the upper wheel brackets (A) with the stop screw (B) when the shower door is hanging
in the right position (C).
Important!
For the door to easily snap off, for example to facilitate cleaning, do not screw on the lower
wheel brackets. (The wheels are resilient).
Location
The Tylette is designed to be placed in an existing corner. To facilitate service make sure that the
corner seating section containing the steam generator is easily accessible.
Electrical installation
Tylette is convertible between 230V~ or 400V2N~ and 2.2 kW or 4.5 kW. Electrical installation work
(B, fig. 1) must be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with the wiring diagram.
Water and drainage
Tylette must be connected to hot and cold water supplies (A, fig. 1) and to a drainage system with a
capacity of at least 50 litres/minute. To achieve a satisfactory performance of the various functions we
recommend an incoming water pressure of no less than 3 bar.
The internal diameter of the incoming pipe must be no less than 8 mm.
The water is connected to the thermostat controlled mixer tap (1/2” thread). Connect the various
bathing mode functions using the colour-coded system. Call in professional help to connect water and
drainage.
Ventilation.
As a general rule, steam rooms which are in use for less than two hours at a time require no
special ventilation. In order to ensure proper hygiene and trouble-free operation, steam rooms
which are in continuous use for more than two hours at a time should be ventilated with 10–20
cubic metres of air per person and hour.
The air inlet may be an opening placed low down on the same wall as the door, or it may be
a gap under the door.
The air outlet should be located high up on a wall or in the ceiling, and as far away from the air
inlet as possible. However, the air outlet must not be located above the door or directly above
any of the seats. Connect the outlet to a ventilation duct discharging into the open air. Use
existing ducting, if possible. The ventilation ducting must be 100% steamtight and watertight,
and made of materials which will not deteriorate or corrode in the high humidity. Do not allow
the formation of “water pockets”, caused by sags in the ducting, where condensed steam may
collect as water and cause a blockage. If a water pocket is inevitable, install a trap to drain the
condensed water into the waste outlet.
The air outlet vent must be of sufficient size to allow the evacuation of 10–20 cubic metres of
air per person and hour.
Mechanical ventilation . If the unassisted through-flow of air is insufficient, due possibly to
negative pressure in the room supplying air to the steam room, a mechanical exhaust fan
must be installed and adjusted to extract a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 20 cubic metres
of air per person and hour.
Functions / Maintenance
Steam generator
Tylette incorporates a built-in steam generator with the following features: • Stainless steel water reservoir
• Tubular elements resistant to rust and acid • Empties automatically 1 hour after the steam bath has
switched off • Flushes automatically 4 times after emptying • Divided output • Electronic water-level
indicator • Low water-level cut-off • Self-cleaning, calcium-repellent electrodes • Continuous steam
production • Always the same output regardless of water quality and level • Built-in safety valve • Built-in
temperature cut-off • Built-in water filter • Remote control option • Splashproof design.
CC Control panel – Tylette
Electronic panel with manual and automatic ON/OFF. Maximum 3 hours’ operating time, 0-10 hours pre-
set. Built-in thermometer and bathing function keys.
Temperature cut-off
The steam generator has a built-in temperature cut-off. If the safety mechanism has been activated,
use the Checklist for Faults in these instructions to rectify the problem.
Main switch
The main switch on the underside of the steam generator should only be used if the equipment is to
be switched off for a relatively lengthy period of time. The automatic emptying function is de-activated
if the power supply to the unit is interrupted.
Automatic emptying
This feature considerably reduces the build-up of calcium deposits and impurities in the reservoir. To
ensure that this function works as intended, no switch between the mains supply and the Tylette unit
may be switched to the OFF position until at least 80 minutes after the timer on the control panel has
switched off.
Automatic flushing with DIP switch.
The steam generator is factory set to flush out part of the water automatically after 4 hours. The
steam generator should, however, be emptied more frequently in areas where the water is hard
(5dH° or more than 100 ppm calcium carbonate), or if it is used for more than four hours per day. Set
the required interval using the DIP switches as shown.
WARNING. The water is very hot.
Lighting
The halogen lighting is powered from a built-in isolating transformer and operated using the control
panel. It switches on and off automatically together with the steam generator. Alternatively it can be
controlled manually using the LIGHT button.
Removing limescale deposits
Limescale needs to be removed at regular intervals as specified in the table below to get rid of
calcium and other deposits that have become encrusted on the walls and elements of the water
reservoir. Regular de-scaling prolongs the life of the steam generator. In hard-water areas where
calcium levels exceed 5°dH, we recommend the installation of a water-softener or a Tylö Automatic
de-calcifier.
Instructions for de-scaling Tylö Steam Generator
• Switch on the steam generator and let it run until the water in the tank begins to boil.
• Switch the generator off and wait for approximately 5 minutes.
•
Unscrew the capping nut from the 3-way connector on top of the steam generator.
• Use a funnel to pour the de-scaling agent into the tank via the 3-way connector.
• Screw the capping nut back in place on the 3-way connector and leave the de-scaling
agent to work.
• After approximately 1 hour the generator will automatically empty and flush the tank.
After this the steam generator is once more ready for use.
Tylö Solvent de-scaling agent is harmless and odourless, which means that the steam bath can be in
operation during the de-scaling process. If you use a different type of de-scaling agent the steam
bath should not be used while de-scaling is taking place.
Operating time before de-scaling.
(To reduce the need for manual removal of limescale we
recommend the use of softened water in public facilities)

How to get maximum pleasure from your steam bath
For most people 40-45°C is usually a suitable bathing temperature.
You can set the temperature and read it directly on the control panel.
(There is no need for a hygrometer; the relative humidity is always 100%.)
•
Shower and wash well before starting your steam bath.
• Take a towel to sit on.
• Relax and let yourself unwind in the clouds of soothing steam. You can even listen to music if you
wish. Stereo equipment and speakers specially developed for use in steam baths are part of the
extensive Tylö accessory programme.
• Cool off now and again with an invigorating shower. Alternate between the steam bath and shower
functions as many times as you wish.
•
The best way to round off your last session amid the clouds of steam is with a cool, refreshing
shower.
Let your body dry slowly in the warm air before starting to get dressed. Sit without clothes until your
skin has cooled down and the pores have closed. Treat yourself to a long, cool drink, sit back and
enjoy life.
Fragrant bath .
Pour a small quantity of Tylö’s fragrant essence into the built-in fragrance dispenser when the
steam generator is producing steam. Use only essences from Tylö as these have a low
alcohol content. Rinse off any spills with water. If used carelessly, fragrances can discolour or
even damage plastic surfaces.
Cleaning Tylette
Each time you have used the steam bath, rinse the seats and floor with warm water. (Do not use a
high-pressure hose). Wash the seats at regular intervals with a mild soapy solution. For day-to-day
disinfecting we recommend Tylö Steam Clean which works fully automatically. It is important that
steam room floors are cleaned thoroughly, right into the corners. Use hot water, a scrubbing brush
and a floor cleaner that lifts off grease and grime.
Plumbing.
Plumbing work must be carried out by a qualified plumber.
