USER GUIDE
GENERAL INFORMATION
Congratulations on your new sauna heater! Follow this user guide
to get the most from your purchase.
Wet and dry saunas are forms of bathing which originate way
back in history. A hot sauna is best enjoyed at temperatures be-
tween 145-190°F.
PRIOR TO USE
The fi rst time you use the heater
Fill the stone compartment
Fill the stone compartment around the heating elements from the
bottom to the top, to approx. 2” above the top front edge. Do not
press the stones into place. Capacity: Approx. 35 lb of stones.
Place the stones loosely to allow optimum air circulation. The tu-
bular heating elements must not be squeezed together or against
the side.
Sauna stones must:
•
tolerate extreme heat and fl uctuations caused by water being
poured on them.
•
be cleaned before use.
•
must have an uneven surface, so that the water "clings" to
the stone surface and evaporates effi ciently.
•
be between 1-1/2” to 2” in size to allow air circulation in the
stone compartment. This will increase the life of the tubular
elements.
Default settings
Using the control panel for the fi rst time:
See instructions supplied with the control panel.
Prior to each use
Check the following
Check that:
•
there are no foreign objects in the sauna cabin, on or in the
heater.
•
the door and any windows to the sauna cabin are closed.
•
that the sauna door opens outwards with a little pressure.
NB:
DANGER! Fragrant essences and similar prod-
ucts may ignite, if poured directly onto the
stones.

Turn on the heater to remove any new paint odors
To remove "new paint odor" from the heater:
Heat the sauna heater for about one hour. The water reservoir
does not need to be working.
A little smoke may appear.
NB: Always use dolerite stones (Tylö Sauna Stones)!
"Ordinary" stones may damage the heater.
Do not use ceramic stones. Ceramic stones may
damage the heater. The heater guarantee does not
cover damage caused by ceramic stones.
NB: Never place stones on top of the side air
chambers. This way will obstruct air circulation,
causing the unit to overheat and the cut-out switch
to activate.
