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 – 5.6-1000 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 carbon heater panels range between 3mG-5mG, and our Near Zero EMF/Full Spectrum models range at less than 3mG (NIR heaters range at about 5mG-7mG at the same approximate 2 inches)

EMF Levels from Common Homes Sources 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. 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 Instructions

1. Choose a good location to assembly the sauna

   • a. The location must be dry, level, and away from any source of water.

   • b. The dedicated outlet must be easily accessible.

   • c. Two adults will be needed to assemble.

   • d. Wood Cabin Assembly: Floor Panel Front Panel Right Side Panel Left Side Panel Rear Panel Bench Heat Emitter Panel Bench Roof Panel Roof Cover
     The sauna can be assembled in different sequences, but the above is recommended.

   • e. Tools Required: Philips screwdriver and ladder

2. Installing the FLOOR PANEL

   • A. Place the FLOOR PANEL onto your floor where the sauna is to be assembled. The frontside and backside are the same. (see Figure 6)

3. Installing the FRONT PANEL, RIGHT SIDE PANEL, and LEFT SIDE PANEL
   A. Place the FRONT PANEL up against the FLOOR PANEL as seen in Figure 7. There will be a molding at the bottom of the FRONT PANEL that will rest on the FLOOR PANEL. One adult will need to hold the FRONT PANEL stationary up against the FLOOR PANEL. The second adult will need to lift the RIGHT SIDE PANEL up and onto the FRONT WALL PANEL. Once the guide and guide insert brackets are engaged, the RIGHT SIDE PANEL will need to be pulled downward until the top of both wall panels is flush. The same will need to be done to install the LEFT SIDE PANEL. Please see Figure 7. Figure 3 shows the guide and guide insert brackets. NOTE: If any of the wall panels do not slide all the way down, then follow this tip:

4. First, remove the side wall panel.

5. Locate the guide and guide insert brackets on the two wall panels (6 pieces total).

6. Loosen the screws on the guide and guide insert brackets by two-to-three turns (so the guide and guide inserts have a slight movement)

7. Reattached the wall panels
   The above will help as sometimes the guide and guide insert brackets are countersunk too deep. Please note that the guide and guide insert brackets slide together at an angle – as the wall panels slide downward, the guide and guide insert brackets pull the wall panels tighter together.

8. Installing the REAR PANEL

   • A. Remove the protection paper (masking tap) from the buckles on the REAR WALL PANEL. Place the REAR PANEL up against the FLOOR PANEL. There will be a molding at the bottom of the REAR PANEL that will rest on the FLOOR PANEL. You may need to open up the RIGHT SIDE PANEL and LEFT SIDE PANEL to fit the REAR PANEL between the two. Please note that the REAR PANEL will fit with the RIGHT SIDE PANEL and LEFT SIDE PANEL like a puzzle as it inserts into both side panels. Once the REAR PANEL is in place, you can buckle the side panels to the REAR PANEL using the external buckles. (see Figure 8)

9. Installing the BENCH HEAT EMITTER PANEL and BENCH

   • A. First, locate the HT1 cord from the Power Supply Box on the REAR PANEL. The HT1 cord will need to be plugged into the RIGHT SIDE PANEL at the outlet towards the interior bottom of the wall panel. Next, locate the HT2 cord from the Power Supply Box on the REAR PANEL. The HT2 cord will need to be plugged into the LEFT SIDE PANEL at the outlet towards the interior bottom of the wall panel. Installing the BENCH HEAT EMITTER PANEL can be a little tricky. You will need to slide the BENCH HEAT EMITTER PANEL into place at an angle as indicated in Figure 9. After the BENCH HEAT EMITTER PANEL is installed, you can connect the BENCH HEAT EMITTER cord into the applicable heater outlet on the Power Supply Box on the REAR PANEL. Next, slide the BENCH over the BENCH HEAT EMITTER PANEL. Make sure to slide the BENCH all the way back. (see Figure 9)

10. Installing the FRONT GLASS DOOR HANDLE

    • A. Now that the FRONT PANEL has already been installed, the inner and outer door handle pieces will need to be mounted to the FRONT GLASS DOOR. Please note that the metal section will be mounted on the exterior and the wood section on the interior. (see Figure 10) Please Note: The black plastic protective corners around the glass door corners will need to be removed upon using the sauna.

11. Installing the ROOF PANEL

    • A. The side of the ROOF PANEL with the power supply (control box) is the top of the roof panel and the side of the ROOF PANEL with the ceiling vent will be situated towards the rear of the sauna.
    • B. Be careful of the wires coming from the top of the SIDE and REAR PANELS when you set the ROOF PANEL down onto the panels. Feed the wires through the holes in the ROOF PANEL. Feed the control cable and buzzer plug up through the ROOF PANEL.
    • C. Be careful not to force the ROOF PANEL into place. Make sure that the wires are properly fed through the holes. Pull down on the ROOF PANEL slightly to make sure it is secured in place. (see Figure 11)

12. Connecting the plugs on the ROOF PANEL

    • A. Connect all the wires and connectors to the corresponding outlets on the Roof Panel. Please be sure all the plugs are connected snug and tight. (see Figure 12)

13. Installing the TEMPERATURE SENSOR

    • A. Enter the sauna and remove the protective covering (white tape) from the TEMPERATURE SENSOR. Situate the TEMPERATURE SENSOR so that it is vertical and pointing downward. (see Figure 13) Please Note: Some sauna models are shipped with a spare TEMPERATURE SENSOR (inside the Accessory Box) in the case that the TEMPERATURE SENSOR is damaged during transit. The manufacturer decides this according to sauna models and packaging.

14. Installing the ROOF DUST COVER (optional)

    • A. Place the ROOF DUST COVER over the top of the ROOF PANEL. Be cautious when pulling the power cord through the hole in the ROOF DUST COVER. When the edges are aligned, screw the ROOF DUST COVER into place. The installation of the ROOF DUST COVER is optional.

15. Installing the SHELF (sauna may or may not have this option)

    • A. If your sauna comes with the optional MP3 shelf, magazine rack, cup holder shelf, or towel rack, use the provided screws and mount according to designated labeled locations. The optional backrest can lean directly up against the heat emitter panels. Please note that all accessories may not be for all sauna models. (see figures 14 – 18)

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 (120VAC 15AMP Dedicated Circuit for 2-person models or 120VAC 20AMP Dedicated Circuit for 3-person models).
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.

• a. Review the electrical label on the sauna and then plug the sauna into the proper wall outlet. No other appliance can be operated on the same electrical breaker as the sauna when the sauna is in use. Proceed in turning on the sauna room using the ON/OFF button to activate the sauna.
• b. The sauna should be unplugged when not in use for long periods of time.
• c. To set the temperature, press the temperature buttons to increase or decrease the temperature to the desired temperature. If the “Heat” light is on, the temperature setting will increase one degree every time the  button is pressed. If pressed for three seconds, the setting will increase quickly. Decrease the temperature in the same manner by pressing the button. After the sauna reaches the desired temperature, the “Heat” light will turn off.
• d. Press the button to turn the light ON. If you want to use the Color Light
  Therapy System:

1. While the interior light is ON, press and hold down the button for 2 seconds. You will notice “2n” in the LED display. This indicates you are in the “light” mode. If you do not press any buttons for approximately 15 seconds, the “2n” will change back to the Timer mode.
2. While the “2n” is displayed, you can now turn the exterior light ON/OFF by pressing the button in the section of the control panel.
3. You can also turn the interior light ON/OFF by pressing the button in the section of the control panel.
4. While the interior light is on and the “2n” is still displayed in the LED display, you can press the button to scroll through the different colors within the Color Light Therapy System. You will notice that you have two selections for “white”:
  *  **A.** The first selection for “white” will allow the colors to go through a sequence of the different shades of colors.
  *  **B**. The second selection for “white” will continue to display the white light.  

To return back to the Timer mode, press the button.

• e. You can operate the sauna with the ceiling vent in the open or closed position.
• f. After your sauna session is over, you can turn the control panel off by pressing the ON/OFF button. You can unplug the sauna cord if the sauna will not be used for an extended period of time.
• g. To set the time, press the buttons. Press ‘ and buttons to set the timer from 5 to 60 minutes. If pressed for three seconds, the timer will increase/decrease quickly. To extend the sauna session, reset the timer again by pressing the .
• h. The Fahrenheit and Centigrade display can be switched by pressing and holding the temperature button and at the same time and then pressing the .

Please Note: On average, it takes our model saunas approximately:

• 20 minutes to reach into 100 degrees Fahrenheit/38 degrees Celsius (with a Starting temperature above 70 degrees Fahrenheit/21 degrees Celsius)
• 25-30 mins to reach about 115-120 degrees Fahrenheit/46-49 degrees Celsius (depending on sauna model)
• 35-40 minutes to reach about 125-130 degrees Fahrenheit/52-54 degrees Celsius (depending on sauna model)
• 45-60 minutes to reach up to approximately 135 degrees Fahrenheit/57 degrees Celsius (depending on sauna model)

Please keep in mind that you can either preheat the sauna to the set temperature before entering or sit inside the sauna as the temperature rises. In addition, you will increase the time it takes for the sauna to reach the set temperature if you enter the sauna room before it has reached the set temperature. Also, the most commonly used temperature setting is between 118 degrees Fahrenheit / 48 degrees  Celsius and 122 degrees Fahrenheit / 50 degrees Celsius. The way the sauna room  works is when you set the Control Panel to say 120 degrees F / 49 degrees C, the heat emitters will turn off when that set temperature is reached. And even though the sauna does allow the user to set the Control Panel to 151 degrees F/66 degrees C, this is specifically for those users who do not want the heat emitters to ever turn off as the sauna room will never achieve 151 degrees F / 66 degrees C. After 3 hours of continuous use, the sauna needs to be shut down for one hour.
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. Never place any towels over the floor heater. If your legs become cold, you can use a third towel to drape over your legs to trap the heat.
CAUTION: Exit sauna immediately if you feel dizzy, sleepy, or any discomfort.

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. Never place any towels over the floor heater. 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.
