What Are Infrared Rays?
Infrared is the band of light we perceive as heat. We cannot see this band of light with the naked eye, but we can feel this type of light in the form of heat. Our sun produces most of its energy output in the infrared segment of the spectrum. Infrared rays heat your body without having to heat the air in- between. This process is called conversion. The infrared is divided into 3 segments by wavelengths measured in microns: Near Infrared – 0.76-1.5 microns; Middle Infrared – 1.5-5.6 microns; and Far Infrared – 5.61000 microns. Among these segments, Far Infrared penetrates organic substances such as the human body two to three inches so that the warming effect is very uniform.

ARE INFRARED RAYS SAFE?
Because infrared rays are part of sunlight, they are not only safe but also highly beneficial to our bodies on a cellular level. Health professionals have used infrared heat lamps for decades to treat muscle and joint problems. In hospital baby care units, incubators are often equipped with infrared heating systems to keep newborn babies warm.
WHAT IS AN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD (also known as EMF)?
An Electromagnetic Field is a physical field produced by electrically charged objects. It is one of the fundamental forces of nature. The field can be viewed as the combination of an electric field and a magnetic field. The electric field is produced by stationary charges and the magnetic field by moving charges referred to as currents. The magnetic field is measured in milligauss (mG). Our sauna products have been developed to have low EMF. Our Low EMF carbon heater panels range between an average of 5mG-10mG at about two inches from the heater panel, our Ultra Low EMF sauna models range between 3mG-5mG, and our Near Zero EMF models range at less than 3mG (NIR heaters range at about 5mG-7mG at the same approximate 2 inches).

After many years and numerous studies on EMF exposure, no government body including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have established permissible exposure limits (PEL). Currently, there is no consensus on the potential health hazard from any exposure to EMF. The mainstream scientific evidence suggests that low-power, low-frequency, electromagnetic radiation associated with household currents like that of the infrared sauna does not constitute a short or long term health hazard.
DISCLAIMER
The infrared rays emitted by your sauna are reported to offer a wide range of possible therapeutic benefits based on research completed over the last 40 years from all around the world. These benefits are presented for reference purposes only and no implication of infrared saunas creating a cure for or treating any disease is implied nor should it be inferred. If you have a medical/health condition, are taking prescription drugs, or have acute joint injuries, please consult with your medical physician before using the sauna.
Persons with surgical implants (metal pins/rods, artificial joints, silicone, or other types of surgical implants) typically do not experience any adverse effects, but should also consult their medical physician or surgeon before using the sauna room.

HOW IT WORKS

Infrared Saunas differ from traditional saunas in that they use infrared radiant energy to directly penetrate into the body’s tissue to produce perspiration. Traditional saunas use steam to heat the air inside the sauna, which then heats your body until you begin to
perspire. In order for this to be effective, temperatures would need to reach in the upwards of 190 degrees Fahrenheit. Infrared saunas only need a temperature of up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit to obtain the same effect. This lower temperature makes the environment more tolerable and allows you to breathe easier.

Infrared Sauna - WORKS

Health Benefits
Because infrared rays penetrate the body through conversion, there is a deep heating effect in both the muscle tissues and internal organs without putting too much burden on the heart.
Our body reacts to the increased heating through the natural cooling process of perspiring. Through the perspiration process, acid and waste residue like toxins, sodium, alcohol, nicotine, cholesterol, and the potentially carcinogenic heavy metals are removed from the cells (especially zinc, lead, nickel, cadmium, etc.). The pores of our skin open and discharge waste products shedding any old skin cells leaving the skin glowing and clean, with improved tone, elasticity, texture, and color.
Health Benefits Include, But Are Not Limited To:
Pain relief from Rheumatoid Arthritis
Increases blood circulation
Cardiovascular conditioning
Relaxes muscle spasms
Clears, rashes, acne
Reduces stress & fatigue
Reduces cellulite
Enhances skin tone
*Removes toxins
Sauna Maintenance
Since infrared saunas do not require hot rocks, water, or steam to operate, they require very little maintenance. You can simply wipe it down with water – use a damp, soft, and clean cloth. Do not use any chemical based cleaning agents as they can be absorbed into the wood and be released into your sauna during use.

Assembly Completed

Operating the Sauna
NOTE: Before the sauna is turned on, remove plastic protective covering from the CONTROL PANELS. Please check and confirm that the connections to the POWER SUPPLY, HEAT EMITTERS, CD/RADIO, and TEMPERATURE SENSOR are connected properly. The power supply voltage and frequency must match the requested voltage and frequency of the sauna (2 Separate 120VAC 20AMP Dedicated Circuits).
Since many materials absorb the infrared rays, minimal clothing is recommended for maximum effect. The infrared sauna emitters are designed to heat you and not necessarily the air inside the sauna. It is not a hot box like a traditional sauna. The temperature gauge is a guide for your safety. It is recommended that you drink water before, during, and after sauna use to prevent dehydration since body fluids will be lost through perspiration. It is not recommended to shower after use since the pores in your skin will be open and could possibly absorb anything in the water.

  1. Plug the sauna into the outlet receptacle.
  2. Press the POWER button once. The POWER light will come on, the TIME DISPLAY will show 90 (minutes), the TEMPERATURE DISPLAY will show 66 (degrees Celsius), and the control panel will flash.
  3. Press the up/down arrows under the TIME DISPLAY to adjust the amount of time you want the sauna to remain on. Press the C/F button to choose between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Press the up/down arrows under the TEMPERATURE DISPLAY to adjust the temperature setting. Once you have set these adjustments to the desired settings, press the START/WORK button. If you don’t press the button for 5 seconds, the control panel will stop flashing and the set-up values will be memorized. The WORK and HEAT lights will now be on and the emitters will now be generating heat. You will need to pre-heat the sauna room to the set temperature before entering. Please keep in mind that you will increase the time it takes for the sauna room to reach the set temperature if you enter the sauna room before it has reached the set temperature.
  4. Please note that if your sauna has the Bluetooth feature, then it will not have the buzzer feature. During your sauna session, set-up time will count down the minutes one by one. When the time remaining is 5 minutes, the buzzer will make a warning sound for approximately 15 seconds letting you know you only have 5 minutes remaining. At this point, you can let the time run out or adjust the time by pressing the up/down arrows under the TIME DISPLAY. If you do choose to adjust the time, the control panel will flash and the emitters will stop generating heat. Once you set the time to the desired setting, then press the START/WORK button twice and the control panel will stop flashing and heat will began coming from the emitters once again.
  5. Heating times do vary. Generally, it will take approximately twenty to thirty minutes to preheat the sauna to 50 degrees Celsius / 122 degrees Fahrenheit. When the ambient temperature is low, heating requires additional time. For the first few times of use, you may use 46 degrees Celsius /115 degrees Fahrenheit as a reference starting point for a time period of about 15 minutes (this represents the actual time you are in the sauna at the desired temperature). As you become more comfortable and familiar with the sauna, you can increase the temperature and time period according to personal preference.
  6. When the temperature is at the set-up value, the digital control will maintain the set temperature. The WORK light will remain on and the HEAT light will turn off. The emitters will stop generating heat. Once the inside temperature drops approximately 4 degrees, the HEAT light will turn back on and heat will again be generated by the emitters. With the digital control, the inside temperature will always remain around the set-up value.
  7. Reading lamps and/or roof lamps and/or color therapy lamps are operated by pressing the respective buttons located towards the center of the control panel. These lamps are offered on some models and are not available on all models.
  8. Chromotherapy/Color Therapy Lighting (optional) can be operated as follows. First, you will need to install the battery. Once the battery has been inserted into the remote, you are ready to operate the chromotherapy/color therapy lighting system. Press the READING LIGHT button on the sauna control panel. The white light will come on. While pointing the remote at the ceiling light, you can press any of the colors on the remote and that color will be displayed. You can use the SHADE button on the remote to go through a sequence of colors. If you want to turn the light off during your sauna session, you can press the POWER button on the remote. Please note: You must be inside the sauna room for the remote to work. Golden Designs GDI 6996 01 Monaco 6 Person PureTech Near Zero EMF FAR Infrared Sauna - remote
  9. To operate the radio, press the power button to turn on the CD/RADIO player. Press the band to choose between the FM/AM frequency on the radio. You must place the radio antenna above the roof cover to receive a radio station signal. To use the CD function, insert the CD disk into the top (into the CD slot) of the radio. If the CD player does not work, make sure the set screws on the top of the CD/RADIO player have been removed. For more detailed instructions, please see the CD/radio owner’s manual.

Tips for using Your Sauna

  1. If you take a hot/warm shower or bath before using your sauna, you may perspire more and experience more comfort.
  2. Drink water prior to, during, and after your sauna session to replenish body fluids.
  3. To regulate the set temperature inside the sauna to your comfort level, use the movable roof vent or leave the door slightly open. The roof vent is installed on the sauna and used based on personal preference.
  4. Use 2 towels during your sauna session. Fold the first towel several times and place it on the bench. As you sit on this towel, it will absorb a majority of your perspiration while adding comfort as you sit on the bench. Use the second towel to either constantly wipe the perspiration from your body to perspire faster and also to avoid having too much perspiration dripping onto the floor or placing it on the floor to catch your dripping perspiration. If your legs become cold, you can use a third towel to drape over your legs to trap the heat.
  5. This is a non-commercial sauna. For every three hours ON, the sauna must be turned OFF for one hour to cool down.
  6. At the first sign of a cold or flu, increasing your sauna sessions may be beneficial in boosting your immune system and decreasing the reproductive rate of the virus.
  7. To help relieve sore and tense muscles, massage the affected areas during your sauna session.
  8. To treat your ankles and feet more effectively, you can elevate them and move them close to one of the heat emitters to achieve a deep heating effect.
  9. To utilize the sauna’s heat therapy effect, put oil and treatment into your hair and wrap it with a towel. After your sauna session is over, rinse your hair thoroughly.
  10. The peaceful and relaxed state rendered by a sauna session may help you to sleep easier and deeper.
  11. To conserve energy consumption, please unplug your sauna when not in use – especially if you do not plan on using the sauna for an extended period of time.
  12. After the sauna session is over, do not jump into the shower or bath immediately. Because your body was heated up during the sauna session, it will continue to perspire even after the heat emitters are off. Sit in the sauna with the door slightly opened and let your body cool down. Once your body has cooled down and you feel comfortable, you can exit the sauna. After about fifteen minutes and when your body has completely cooled down, you can take a shower or bath to clean your body

Safety Instructions

  1. Read and follow all instructions carefully before using the sauna.
  2. When assembling and using the electrical equipment, safety precautions should always be followed.
  3. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to use the sauna unless they are closely supervised at all times by an adult. Children should not use the sauna unless prescribed or advised by their medical doctor.
  4. Do not use the sauna immediately following strenuous exercises. Wait at least 30 minutes to allow the body to cool down completely.
  5. Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should contact their medical physician prior to using the sauna. Excessive temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal harm during pregnancy.
  6. Hyperthermia Danger: The normal body temperature can’t rise above 103°F (39°C). Symptoms of excessive hyperthermia include dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and/or fainting. The effects of excessive hyperthermia may include, but are not limited to failure to perceive heat, physical inability to exit the sauna, unawareness of impending hazards, unconsciousness, and/or fetal harm in pregnant women. Hyperthermia could make your body’s core temperature rise. Setting the desired temperature to an excessively high temperature is not recommended.
  7. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medications (prescribed or non-prescribed) prior to or during the sauna session may lead to unconsciousness and/or other harmful physical injuries.
  8. Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, diabetes, or other medical conditions should consult with a medical physician prior to using the sauna.
  9. Persons using medications should consult with a medical physician before using the sauna. Some medications may induce drowsiness while other may affect the heart rate, blood pressure, and/or blood circulation.
  10. Use care when exercising before and after sauna use.
  11. Never sleep inside the sauna
  12. Do not use any type of cleaning agents on the interior of the sauna. Only wipe down the sauna room with water and a damp cloth. Never use any chemical based cleaners.
  13. Do not stack or store any objects on top of or inside the sauna.
  14. If the power supply cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced immediately by the manufacturer or its agent. If you find the power cord is too hot (normally it will become warm) or that the electrical equipment may be experiencing technical problems, please contact the manufacturer or its agent immediately to avoid hazardous situations.
  15. Make sure that the electrical outlet is in good working order. A common problem with electrical outlets is loose wiring on the connection points of the terminals of the outlet. A loose wire will also make for a bad connection and cause an unusual amount of heat buildup. Loose connections can also cause sparking in the junction box that can result in arcing. You’ll likely see burn marks around the terminals if this occurs. If this happens, do not use the sauna and have the outlet replaced by a certified electrician. If the power cord is damaged, please contact Customer Support.
  16. Do not use the sauna during an electrical storm to avoid risk of shock or injury.
  17. Do not continuously switch the power ON and OFF excessively as it will compromise the life of the electrical components.
  18. Your hands must be dry and free of moisture before plugging and unplugging cords and wiring harnesses from the power supply and circuit boards. Never operate the sauna with wet hands or wet feet to avoid the risk of electrical shock or injury. Never touch the metal prongs of the plug.
  19. Do not attempt to make any repairs yourself unless authorized by the manufacturer or its agent. If a problem occurs with the sauna, please contact the manufacturer or its agent immediately to avoid safety risks. Unauthorized repair attempts will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
  20. Please make sure the outlet power supply meets the specifications required. Failure to meet the requirements may cause safety risks.
  21. Some sauna models are equipped with reading and/or roof lamps. Because the lamp temperature will become very hot once powered ON, do not attempt to touch the lamp to avoid being burned. Do not attempt to touch it for at least 20 minutes or until it cools down completely if a need to touch it arises.
  22. Do not pour water or any other liquids onto the infrared heat emitters. Do not bump, hit, or break the heating elements as it may cause an electrical short and pose a safety risk.
  23. Do not make any modifications to the sauna, the sauna structure, or the sauna components.
  24. Prior to each sauna session, the sauna room is to be inspected for correct operation. If for any reason your sauna does not seem to be operating properly, discontinue use and contact Customer Service.

Safeguards For Your Sauna

  1. Do not install the sauna near water, near a bathtub (if water will splash on the sauna), near a shower (if water will splash on the sauna), in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool (if water will splash on the sauna).
  2. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners on the sauna. Unplug the sauna from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use plain water and a soft damp cloth for cleaning.
  3. The power supply cord should be routed so that it is not walked on or pinched by any object that may be placed against it.
  4. When replacement parts are required, be sure they meet the specified requirements of the manufacturer. Unauthorized substitutes may result in a fire, electrical shock, or other hazardous situations. After any repairs, please ask the service technician to perform a safety check to determine that the sauna is in good working order.
  5. Do not use any wall receptacle adapter, surge protector, or extension cord between the sauna cord and wall outlet.
