General Information - Tylo SO 8 Installations- Und Gebrauchsanleitung

Fig. 15. Recommendations for sauna construction:
A. Floor frame, corner posts, studs, ceiling frame.
B. Battens, rafters, vents.
C. 50 mm mineral wool as heat insulation, approx. 20 mm air gap between
insulation and outer wall.
D. 12 mm wooden panel in walls and ceilings. There should always be at
least 50 mm 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. 50 mm 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 22 mm thick knot-free pine (alternatively aspen, lime
or obeche).
I. Drainage channel (recommended in public saunas). Never place a
drainage channel or drain under the sauna heater.
Heater guard,
(fig. 6. SO), (fig.7. EP, EH, EZ)
The stones and the top of the sauna heater get very hot! In order to reduce
the risk of accidental contact, Tylö always recommend that a heater guard
be fixed as shown in the sketches.
Some words of advice:
• There should never be a drain in a sauna. However, all public saunas
should have a drainage channel (I, fig. 15) 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 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 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.
• Before you enjoy your first sauna bath, heat the sauna room up to 90°C
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

Filling the stone compartment.
Only use stones of the dolerite type (sauna stones), as "ordinary" stones can
damage the unit. Fill the stone compartment around the elements from
bottom to top, stacking the stones approx. 50 mm above the front edge at
the top of the unit. Do not press the stones into place.
Check the stone compartment at least once a year.
This is especially important for public saunas and saunas in frequent use.
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.
Important! For heater model WM, the sensor of the high temperature
limit control has to be located high on the wall in the sauna room (15-
20cm from the ceiling).
Sprinkling water on the stones
Must always be done with a ladle onto the stones, never with a hose or
bucket. Note: The stones must be hot.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SO and TS
Temperature setting.
The Roman numerals indicate a rising temperature scale. Experiment to find
the temperature that suits you best. Begin for example by turning the
thermostat dial to position IV. If you later find that you would prefer a higher
or lower temperature, adjust the dial up or down until you find the ideal
bathing temperature for you (usually 70–90°C). Once you have found the
right temperature, you can leave the dial on this setting.
Timer settings with control panels TS 16-3(B),
TS 30-03 and sauna heater SO
The first figures, 1–2–3-(4), indicate the length of time the sauna will operate.
The following 9 (8) figures are used to pre-set start-up times.
For immediate operation: First turn the dial past the first figure 3 (4) and
then back again to the figure corresponding to the length of time you wish
the heater to run for (1, 2, 3 or (4) hours). The timer turns the heater off
automatically when the 0 position is reached.
For automatic operation: Turn the dial to the figure 9 (8) and then back to
the desired pre-set time (in other words, the number of hours before the
heater automatically switches itself on). The timer turns off automatically
when the 0 position is reached.
You may turn the dial forwards or backwards whenever you wish, for
example, to switch off the sauna manually (turn to 0) or to change a setting
you have already made.
Timer settings with control panels TS 30-012 and
TS 58 -12 RB.
The figures 1–12 on the timer indicate the operating time. The heater
remains in operation for the number of hours the switch is set to, and
automatically switches itself off when the 0 position is reached.
You may change the time setting whenever you wish and also switch off the
sauna by turning the dial to 0.
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.
You can enjoy traditional dry and wet saunas with provide continuous water
sprinkling are not permissible.
