Operating The Sauna - REVELL R-6P-HL Owner's Manual

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, and
TEMPERATURE SENSOR are connected properly. The power supply voltage and frequency must
match the requested voltage and frequency of the sauna.
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. 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.
