- Turn the height adjustment ring anticlockwise until the 'unlocked' symbol is visible through the
hole in the ring (1). Then pull up the lamp housing or push it down to the desired height
(2) (Fig. 15).
- When you have set the lamp housing to the desired height, turn the height adjustment ring
clockwise until the 'locked' symbol is visible through the hole in the ring. The height adjustment
ring is now locked and the height of the lamp housing is fixed (Fig. 16).
- To tilt the lamp housing upwards or downwards, grasp it by its handgrips and move it to the
desired position (Fig. 17).
- To put the lamp housing in vertical or horizontal position, grasp it by its handgrips and turn it to
the required position (Fig. 18).
- Make sure the pedestal base is horizontal. If it is placed at an angle, the appliance switches off
automatically (Fig. 19).
 Sit or lie down at the right distance from the appliance.
- At a distance of 40-50cm to the body, the InfraCare treats an area of about 40cm by 60cm. At a
larger distance, the area treated becomes larger and the infrared light and therefore the heat
less intense. At a smaller distance, the area treated is smaller and the infrared light and therefore
the heat more intense.
- Make sure the distance between your body and the appliance is large enough to prevent
accidental contact with the hot filter.
Choose a distance at which the heat is comfortable.
-
Note: The heat of the appliance does not reach its full intensity until several minutes after you switch on
the appliance. This does not mean, however, that the appliance is not effective during these first minutes.
Duration of treatment
The duration of the treatment depends on the person to be treated and the type of use. We
recommend a few short treatments a day, e.g. 2 treatments of 15 minutes, on a number of
consecutive days to get a result.
Note: Practice has shown that a few short treatments a day produce a better result than one longer
treatment.
If in doubt, always consult your doctor.
