Cleaning; Storage; Replacement - Philips HP3616 Instruction Manual

Using the InfraPhil
1 Determine the distance between the body and the appliance:
- When you treat muscle pains, the distance between the lamp and the area to be treated must
be approx. 30cm. Make sure the heat feels comfortable on your skin. Increase the distance if the
heat becomes too intense.
2 Position the appliance properly.
- To treat a backache, place the appliance on a table at a distance of approx. 30cm (Fig. 7).
- To treat a sore knee, place the appliance on a low table. Sit down on a chair next to the table at
a distance of approx. 30cm (Fig. 8).
3 To switch on the appliance, turn the rear cap of the lamp housing to 'I' (Fig. 9).
4 Aim the beam of infrared light at the part of the body to be treated (Fig. 10).
5 Switch off the appliance after use.
Do not look into the light of the lamp when it is on. Keep your eyes closed.
Duration of treatment
The duration of the treatment depends on the type of treatment and the person to be treated.
Treatment of a single muscle or joint should last approximately 15 minutes. If necessary, the
treatment can be repeated several times a day. A longer treatment time than 15 minutes does not
lead to better results. You can repeat the course of several treatments a day on several consecutive
days to get a result. If there is no improvement after 6-8 treatments, stop using the appliance and
consult your doctor. For chronic problems, the appliance can be used for longer periods of time,
as long as you follow the instructions given in the 'Warning' section in chapter 'Important'.
