Maintaining your Tylo Sport 8 Sauna Heater properly ensures safety, performance, and longevity. This guide will walk you through the essential upkeep tasks to keep your sauna heater in top shape.
Inspecting and Replacing Sauna Stones
Sauna stones are crucial because they retain heat and produce steam when water is poured over them. Over time, stones degrade, crack, or crumble due to the constant heating cycles.
Inspect your stones regularly—at least every few months—and replace them every 1-2 years, depending on usage frequency. Using worn-out stones can impair heat distribution and may cause damage to the heating elements.
Use only stones recommended by Tylo to avoid compatibility issues. For a detailed maintenance checklist on sauna stones and heater upkeep, visit Sauna Society Maintenance Tips.
Cleaning Your Heater
Wipe down the heater’s exterior with a damp cloth regularly once the unit has cooled. This prevents dust and grime buildup, which can affect heater operation and hygiene.
Avoid abrasive cleaning agents or solvents that could damage the protective Thermosafe™ coating. Proper cleaning preserves both the heater’s functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Electrical Safety Checks
Periodically inspect wiring and electrical connections for signs of damage, wear, or corrosion. If you notice any irregularities such as flickering heat or power interruptions, immediately disconnect power and contact a licensed electrician.
Proper ventilation around the heater is essential. Blocked vents reduce airflow, cause overheating, and shorten the heater’s lifespan. Make sure the ventilation holes and spaces around the heater remain clear.
For in-depth care advice, consult the Home Sauna Care Guide.
Using Your Heater Responsibly
Utilize the built-in mechanical timer to prevent the heater from running longer than necessary. Avoid leaving it on unattended, especially for prolonged periods, to minimize fire risk and wear.
