Investing in a Tylo 8kW sauna heater means choosing quality, innovation, and a premium sauna experience. To get the most out of this advanced heater, proper installation and ongoing maintenance are essential. This blog will guide you through key steps and expert tips for a safe, efficient, and durable sauna heating system.

Professional Installation is a Must

The Tylo 8kW sauna heater is a high-powered electrical appliance requiring:

• A licensed electrician for installation
  
  

• A dedicated electrical circuit matched to the heater’s power requirements (8 kW)
  
  

• Proper grounding to meet safety standards
  
  

Attempting DIY installation can result in:

• Safety hazards including fire or electric shock
  
  

• Voiding manufacturer warranties
  
  

• Suboptimal heater performance
  
  

Tylo provides clear installation manuals, but enlisting a professional guarantees compliance with local electrical codes and ensures the heater operates as intended.

Optimal Heater Placement for Even Heat Distribution

Correct positioning of your Tylo 8kW sauna heater is crucial:

• Wall-mount height should follow manufacturer specs (usually between 100-200 cm from the floor)
  
  

• Allow sufficient clearance from benches and walls for airflow and safety
  
  

• Place the temperature sensor away from direct heat sources to avoid false readings
  
  

Incorrect placement can cause hot spots or uneven heating, reducing your sauna’s comfort and efficiency.

Regular Cleaning and Stone Maintenance

The sauna stones in your Tylo 8kW heater play a critical role in heat retention and steam production.

To maintain peak performance:

• Inspect stones every 6 months for cracks or crumbling
  
  

• Replace damaged stones promptly to avoid blockages and uneven heating
  
  

• Clean stones and the heater compartment of dust and debris annually
  
  

Over time, mineral deposits can build up on stones, impacting heat transfer. Soaking stones in water occasionally before use can improve steam quality.
