WHAT ARE INFRARED RAYS? Infrared is the band of light we perceive as heat. We cannot see this band of light with the naked eye, but we can feel this type of light in the form of heat. Our sun produces most of its energy output in the infrared segment of the spectrum.

HOW IT WORKS Infrared Saunas differ from traditional saunas in that they use infrared radiant energy to directly penetrate into the body's tissue to produce perspiration. Traditional saunas use steam to heat the air inside the sauna, which then heats your body until you begin to perspire.

Figure 6 V. Panel Descriptions For easier installation, please understand and distinguish the differences between each panel. A. Floor Panel When the floor panel faces upward, you will find that the edges are raised which the wall panels will rest on and up against. The rear and front of the floor panel is longer than the sides.
Rear Panel The REAR PANEL has the two heat emitter panels side-by-side. The REAR PANEL will be slightly warped. This allows for a snug and tight fit once the sauna room is assembled. (see figure 9) Figure 9 Understanding The Difference Between The Inside And Outside Of The Rear Panel You will find the heat emitter panels on the inside of the rear panel.

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, CD/RADIO, and TEMPERATURE SENSOR are connected properly. The power supply voltage and frequency must match the requested voltage and frequency of the sauna (120VAC 15AMP Dedicated Circuit or 120VAC 20AMP Dedicated Circuit).

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. Heating times do vary. Generally, it will take approximately twenty to thirty minutes to preheat the sauna to approximately 115 degrees Fahrenheit/46 degrees Celsius.
Tips for using Your Sauna 1) If you take a hot/warm shower or bath before using your sauna, you may perspire more and experience more comfort. 2) Drink water prior to, during, and after your sauna session to replenish body fluids. 3) To regulate the set temperature inside the sauna to your comfort level, use the movable roof ventilation or leave the door open slightly.
9.) Persons using medications should consult a physician before using the sauna. Some medications may induce drowsiness while others may affect the heart rate, blood pressure, and/or blood circulation. 10) Exercise care before and after sauna use. 11) Never sleep inside the sauna. 12) Do not use any type of cleaning agents on the interior of the sauna.
Troubleshooting Guide 1. No Heat Coming From Some Of The Heat Emitters Solution: Check to make sure all the heat emitter cords are properly connected, including the cord to the heat emitter underneath the bench (if applicable). Go to the roof, and also check that the heat emitter cords are properly connected to the cords on the roof and that those cords are properly plugged into the power supply.
