• Consult your doctor about any health-related limitations related to sauna use. Ignoring advice from your
medical provider could cause serious injury or death.
• Do not let people with pre-existing health conditions bathe in the sauna on their own. Using the sauna could
cause these users to lose consciousness.

• Do not exceed 30 min. in the sauna at one time, as excessive exposure may be harmful to health. The sauna
should not be used as an endurance test.
• Do not place any combustible material over the sauna heater (towels, bathing suits, wooden bucket or ladle)!
This will cause the sauna to catch fire.

the normal body temperature of 98,6 ºF. The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the internal
temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting.

death.
