Application
This infrared lamp is only intended for radiating the human body. Infrared radiation causes warmth to be transported to the human body. The blood supply in the radiated skin is increased and the metabolic turnover in the field of temperature enhanced. The mode of action of the infrared light encourages the body to heal; healing processes are thus assisted in a specific area. Infrared light can be used as a parallel treatment in diseases of the ear, nose and throat and to assist in facial and beauty care, especially in case of impure skin. However, first ask your family doctor whether application in the individual case is advisable from a medical standpoint.

Operation

1. Switching on the lamp
   ► Push the plug completely into the mains socket.

2. Enjoying the light
   The recommended duration of treatment is maximum 12 minutes. We recommend selecting a shorter radiation period to start with. However, the skin of some people may show an over-sensitive (e.g. with extreme redness, blistering, itching, heavy sweating) or allergic reaction to heat radiation, even when the lamp is used correctly.

3. Important instructions
   The distance between the infrared lamp and the radiated part of the body should not be less than the following:
   IL 11: at least 24 in (60 cm)
   IL 21: at least 32 in (80 cm)
   Protective eyewear which corresponds to the requirements of DIN EN 171 2002 must be worn for treatment distances under 80 cm.
   For treatment distances above 80 cm, closing your eyes is sufficient.
   CAUTION: Never look directly into the infrared light without protective eyewear.
   Basically, examine the radiated section of the body regularly. Discontinue radiation immediately if any signs of an over-sensitive or allergic reaction appear and consult a physician.

4. Switching off the lamp
   ► Pull the mains plug from the socket.
