introduction
With the InfraCare you can comfortably treat muscular problems and relieve pain at home. It allows
you to treat a large part of your body in one go. Just like the sun, the appliance emits infrared light.
The special filter only passes the type of light required to achieve the intended therapeutic effect.

Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage before

socket.
If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by
,
Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
