Using the device

1 Sit or lie down at the right distance from the device (Fig. 11).
- Remove clothing and jewelry from the area to be treated.
- The infrared light needs to be used on bare skin.
- At a distance of 40-50 cm to the body, the device heats an area of about 40 cm by 60 cm. At a
larger distance, the heated area is larger, but the infrared light and the heat are less intense. At a
smaller distance, the heated area is smaller, but the infrared light and the heat are more intense.
Note: Make sure the distance between your body and the device is large enough to prevent
accidental contact with the glass plate (filter).
2 Insert the plug into a wall socket.
3 Position the device properly. The pedestal allows you to use the device in many different positions.
Below you find some examples.

To treat your back from shoulders to hips, place the device beside a bed with the lamp housing
in highest position and tilted down. Lie down comfortably on your belly (Fig. 12).
-
To treat your back, place the device beside a bed with the lamp housing in lowest position. Lie
down comfortably on one side (Fig. 13). You can also place the device beside a chair or stool
with the lamp housing in vertical position. Sit down comfortably with your back towards the
device (Fig. 14).
-
To treat your upper back and shoulders, place the device behind a chair or other seat with the
lamp housing in horizontal position. Sit down comfortably with your back towards the device
(Fig. 15).
-
To treat your hip and upper leg, place the device beside a chair with the lamp housing in
horizontal position. Sit down comfortably on a chair or stool (Fig. 16).
4 To switch on the device, turn the timer knob to the desired treatment time (Fig. 17).
-
You can choose a treatment time between 0 and 30 minutes.
5 Aim the beam of infrared light at the body part to be treated, by tilting the lamp housing forwards
or backwards.
- Choose a distance at which the heat feels comfortable on your skin. Increase the distance if the
heat becomes too intense.
6 The device will switch off automatically when the desired treatment time has elapsed.
-
If you want to switch off the device before the desired treatment time has elapsed, turn the
timer knob to 0 minutes.
Note: If you disconnect the device from the wall socket while the timer is activated, the timer
continues to count down and make a ticking sound.
Warning: To prevent eye damage, do not look into the light of the lamp when it is on. You
do not need to wear goggles as the InfraCare (650 W) has a special screen that filters out
UV light.
