c. helpful tips for enjoying your sauna sessions
Your Health Mate Infrared Sauna is equipped with special infrared heaters. Infrared heat waves reach the body directly without
having to heat the intervening air inside the sauna.
With this system, breathing is more comfortable and the atmosphere inside the sauna is more enjoyable than in conventional
saunas. Because the infrared heat energy is warming the body directly (and not the air, walls, and fixtures within the sauna), lower
temperature settings can be used to achieve results in short sessions starting from 20 to 30 minutes.
1) preparing for your infrared session
1. Review all health and safety instructions. If in
doubt as to the advisability of using your infrared sauna,
consult with your physician.
2. The interior of the Health Mate Infrared Sauna is made of the
finest wood on the market. It is very aromatic and adds to the
enjoyment of your sauna session. If the fragrance of the
fresh wood is too strong during the first few months of use,
first wipe the wood with a damp cloth to minimize the aroma.
3. Always drink plenty of water, before, during and after
a session. Doing so will replenish fluids lost during
perspiration.
4. Do not eat anything at least an hour before your sauna
session. It is better to go in the sauna on an empty stomach.
You are more likely to feel uncomfortable sitting in a sauna
with a full stomach.
5. Choosing to take a hot shower or bath prior to the sauna
session will further promote perspiration. However, dry off
thoroughly before going into the sauna because excessive
water will leave stains and might warp the wood.
6. Provide at least 2-3 towels. One towel folded over several
times for added cushioning on the bench. Another towel on
the floor to absorb extra sweat. And a third towel to wipe off
sweat.
7. Start up your sauna and select the desired session
temperature and time using the control panel (see page 6
and next page).
8. Allow approximately 15 to 20 minutes for the sauna to
warm up before beginning a session (warm up time is
subject to the air temperature and is different for each
model).
Please Note: Your sauna's maximum temperature setting
may not be achieved based on variations in ambient room
temperature, air flow, placement of sauna, etc. If you are
experiencing unusual warm-up times or if you have recently
moved your sauna from one location to another, please call
our technical support team for thermostat calibration help.
