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. Infrared rays heat your body
without having to heat the air in-between. This process is called conversion.
The infrared is divided into 3 segments by wavelengths measured in microns: Near
Infrared – 0.76-1.5 microns; Middle Infrared – 1.5-5.6 microns; and Far Infrared – 5.6-
1000 microns. Among these segments, Far Infrared penetrates organic substances such
as the human body two to three inches so that the warming effect is very uniform.
Because infrared rays are part of sunlight, they are not only safe but also highly beneficial
to our bodies on a cellular level. Health professionals have used infrared heat lamps for
decades to treat muscle and joint problems. In hospital baby care units, incubators are
often equipped with infrared heating systems to keep newborn babies warm.
WHAT IS AN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD (also known as EMF)?
An Electromagnetic Field is a physical field produced by electrically charged objects. It is
one of the fundamental forces of nature. The field can be viewed as the combination of
an electric field and a magnetic field. The electric field is produced by stationary charges
and the magnetic field by moving charges referred to as currents. The magnetic field is
measured in milligauss (mG). Our sauna products have been developed to have low
EMF. Our Near Zero EMF carbon heater panels range at less than 3mG at about 2
inches from the heater panels (NIR heaters range at about 5mG-7mG at the same
approximate 2 inches).
3
After many years and numerous studies on EMF exposure, no government body including
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have established permissible
exposure limits (PEL). Currently, there is no consensus on the potential health hazard
from any exposure to EMF. The mainstream scientific evidence suggests that low-power,
low-frequency, electromagnetic radiation associated with household currents like that of
the infrared sauna does not constitute a short or long term health hazard.
The infrared rays emitted by your sauna are reported to offer a wide range of possible
therapeutic benefits based on research completed over the last 40 years from all around
the world. These benefits are presented for reference purposes only and no implication of
infrared saunas creating a cure for or treating any disease is implied nor should it be
inferred. If you have a medical/health condition, are taking prescription drugs, or have
acute joint injuries, please consult with your medical physician before using the sauna.
Persons with surgical implants (metal pins/rods, artificial joints, silicone, or other types of
surgical implants) typically do not experience any adverse effects, but should also consult
their medical physician or surgeon before using the sauna room.

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. In order for this to be effective, temperatures would need to reach in the
upwards of 190 degrees Fahrenheit. Infrared saunas only need a temperature of up to
120 degrees Fahrenheit to obtain the same effect. This lower temperature makes the
environment more tolerable and allows you to breathe easier.
Because infrared rays penetrate the body through conversion, there is a deep heating
effect in both the muscle tissues and internal organs without putting too much burden on
the heart.
Our body reacts to the increased heating through the natural cooling process of
perspiring. Through the perspiration process, acid and waste residue like toxins, sodium,
alcohol, nicotine, cholesterol, and the potentially carcinogenic heavy metals are removed
from the cells (especially zinc, lead, nickel, cadmium, etc.). The pores of our skin open
and discharge waste products shedding any old skin cells leaving the skin glowing and
clean, with improved tone, elasticity, texture, and color.
*Pain relief from Rheumatoid Arthritis *Relaxes muscle spasms *Reduces cellulite
*Increases blood circulation *Clears, rashes, acne *Enhances skin tone
*Cardiovascular conditioning *Reduces stress & fatigue *Removes toxins
Since infrared saunas do not require hot rocks, water, or steam to operate, they require
very little maintenance. You can simply wipe it down with water – use a damp, soft, and
clean cloth. Do not use any chemical based cleaning agents as they can be absorbed
into the wood and be released into your sauna during use.

A. Choose a good location to install the sauna
1. The location must be dry, leveled, and away from any source of water
2. MAIN POWER cord must be easily accessible
3. Two adults are required for installation
4. Wood cabin installation order: Floor Panel Front Panel Right Side
Panel Left Side Panel Rear Panel Bench Emitter Panel
1. Place the FLOOR PANEL on the floor. Make sure the front of the FLOOR
PANEL is facing the correct direction. (see Section V. Panel Descriptions)
1. For model DYN-6006-03, place the FRONT PANEL onto the recessed
area on the FLOOR PANEL. For model DYN-6009-03, place the FRONT
PANEL up against the FLOOR PANEL. Align the LEFT SIDE PANEL
with FRONT PANEL. For model DYN-6006-03, you will use the buckles to
latch the two walls together. For model DYN-6009-03, you will lift the
LEFT SIDE PANEL in order to lock the guide inserts on the FRONT
PANEL into the guides on the LEFT SIDE PANEL. Secure in place by
pulling down on the LEFT SIDE PANEL. Make sure all the guides are
locked in place and the top of the wall panels are flush on both models.
Do the same for the RIGHT SIDE PANEL. See Figure 8. You can remove
the black plastic transport corners from the corners of the glass door.
22
Figure 8
NOTE for model DYN-6009-03: If any of the wall panels do not slide all the way
down, then follow this tip:
1. First, remove the side wall panel.
2. Locate the guide and guide insert brackets on the two wall panels (6 pieces
total).
3. Loosen the screws on the guide and guide insert brackets by two-to-three turns
(so the guide and guide inserts have a slight movement)
4. Reattached the wall panels
The above will help as sometimes the guide and guide insert brackets are
countersunk too deep. Please note that the guide and guide insert brackets slide
together at an angle - as the wall panels slide downward, the guide and guide
insert brackets pull the wall panels tighter together.
1. Remove the protection paper from the buckles (tape). Place the REAR
PANEL onto the FLOOR PANEL. Attach the REAR PANEL to the SIDE
PANELS and buckle together. (see Figure 9)
23

1. Locate and slide down the BENCH EMITTER PANEL by lining up its sides
with the vertical guides on each side panel. The emitter grid will face
outward (toward the front of the sauna). Push the BENCH EMITTER PANEL
all the way down until it is touching the FLOOR PANEL and is secured in
place.
2. Plug in the BENCH EMITTER connector to the inlet located on the REAR
PANEL.
3. Locate and install the BENCH by sliding it over the horizontal bench guides on
the side panels. Push the BENCH all the way in until it touches the REAR
PANEL and is secured in place. Make sure to install the BENCH with the
smooth and finished side facing up. Use the provided screws to screw the
bench down. (See Figure 10)
24
Figure 10
1. The side of the ROOF PANEL with the power supply box faces upward. The
vent will be towards the rear or the sauna room.
2. Be careful of the wires/cords coming from the wall panels when you set the
ROOF PANEL down onto the wall panels. Feed the wires through the
holes/cut outs in the ROOF PANEL.
3. Be careful not to force the ROOF PANEL into place. Make sure that the
wires/cords are properly fed through the holes/cut outs.
4. When all the wires are fed through their appropriate holes/cut outs, lower the
ROOF PANEL into place.
5. If your model has the pre-drilled holes on the sides of the ROOF PANEL, it
is optional to use the screws to mount the ROOF PANEL to each of the wall
panels. This is optional and not necessary for home installation.
G. Connecting the plugs on the ROOF PANEL
1. Connect the black heater cords according to the respective labels.
2. Connect the CTRL connection from the power supply to the CTRL connection
from the control panel.
25

H. Putting on the ROOF COVER (optional)
1. Place the ROOF COVER over the top of the sauna. Be cautious when
pulling the power cord through the hole in the roof cover. Gently place the
ROOF COVER onto the ROOF PANEL. When the edges are aligned,
screw the ROOF COVER to the roof panel. (see Figure 13)
Figure 13
26
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 (including the power cord), HEAT EMITTERS, CD/RADIO, and
TEMPERATURE SENSOR are connected properly and are snug and tight. 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). Please consult a certified electrician for any electrical
modifications or repairs.
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
immediately after use since the pores in your skin will be open and could
possibly absorb anything in the water.
CAUTION: Exit Sauna Immediately If You Feel Dizzy, Sleepy,
Or Any Discomfort.

1. Plug the sauna into the wall outlet.
27
2. Press the POWER button once. The POWER light will come on, the TIME DISPLAY
will show 90 (minutes), the TEMPERATURE DISPLAY will show 1510F / 660C, 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 do not 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 can either pre-heat the sauna to the set temperature before entering or sit
inside the sauna as the temperature rises to the set temperature. Please keep in
mind that you will increase the time it takes for the sauna 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. You
can use the up/down arrows to adjust the time. 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 the average used temperature range of approximately 118
degrees Fahrenheit / 48 degrees Celsius. When the ambient temperature is low,
heating requires additional time. For the first few times of use, you may use 115
degrees Fahrenheit / 46 degrees Celsius as a reference starting point for a time
period of about 20 to 30 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 your 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 Fahrenheit, 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.
8. Color Lighting can be operated as follows: First, you will need to install the battery.
28
Once the battery has been inserted into the remote, you are ready to operate the
color therapy lighting system. Press the READING LIGHT button on the sauna
control panel. The white light will come on. While pointing the remote at the ceiling
light, you can press any of the colors on the remote and that color will be displayed.
You can use the SHADE button on the remote to go through a sequence of colors. If
you want to turn the light off during your sauna session, you can press the POWER
button on the remote. Please note: You must be inside the sauna room for the
remote to work.
Please note that the lights and music will remain ON for approximately 15 minutes
when the time on the control panel has timed out.
9. Red Light Therapy works with the Color Lighting system. When the Color Light is
ON, you can press the white button at the bottom right of the Color Light Remote
once to turn on the Red Light Therapy feature. To exit the Red Light Therapy feature
and return back to the white reading light, just press the white button at the bottom
right of the Color Light Remote once again and then press the button of the specific
color or the shade button to go through the sequence of colors.
10. Bluetooth can be used on the sauna room. You first will need to pair your device
with the sauna room. Open your device’s Settings Menu and then locate and open
Bluetooth. You will find “iSauna” or “BT100” or “Bluetooth”. Now you can pair
your device. Once pairing is successful, your device will be connected. If you need
to reset the Bluetooth/Aux system, you can do so by unplugging the sauna’s power
cord for 15 minutes.
29
Please Note: On average, it takes our model saunas approximately:
*20 minutes to reach into 100 degrees Fahrenheit/38 degrees Celsius (with a
Starting temperature above 70 degrees Fahrenheit/21 degrees Celsius)
*25-30 mins to reach about 115-120 degrees Fahrenheit/46-49 degrees Celsius
(depending on sauna model)
*35-40 minutes to reach about 125-130 degrees Fahrenheit/52-54 degrees
(depending on sauna model)
*45-60 minutes to reach up to approximately 135 degrees Fahrenheit/57 degrees
Celsius (depending on sauna model)
Please keep in mind that you can either preheat the sauna to the set temperature
before entering or sit inside the sauna as the temperature rises. In addition, you
will increase the time it takes for the sauna to reach the set temperature if you
enter the sauna room before it has reached the set temperature. Also, the most
commonly used temperature setting is between 118 degrees Fahrenheit / 48
degrees Celsius and 122 degrees Fahrenheit / 50 degrees Celsius. The way the
sauna room works is when you set the Control Panel to say 120 degrees F / 49
degrees C, the heat emitters will turn off when that set temperature is
reached. And even though the sauna does allow the user to set the Control Panel
to 151 degrees F/66 degrees C, this is specifically for those users who do not want
the heat emitters to ever turn off as the sauna room will never achieve 151 degrees
F / 66 degrees C. After 3 hours of continuous use, the sauna needs to be shut
down for one hour.
Use 2 towels during your sauna session. Fold the first towel several times and
place it on the bench. As you sit on this towel, it will absorb a majority of your
perspiration while adding comfort as you sit on the bench. Use the second towel to
either constantly wipe the perspiration from your body to perspire faster and also
to avoid having too much perspiration dripping onto the floor. Never place any
towels over the floor heater. If your legs become cold, you can use a third towel to
drape over your legs to trap the heat.
With regards to maintenance, you do not want to use any liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleansers inside the sauna. Unplug the sauna from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use
plain water and a soft cloth for cleaning. Clean floor heater regularly to keep free of
debris. Do not use benzene, alcohol, or strong cleaning chemicals in or on the
sauna. NOTE: Any chemical that can damage wood or be absorbed into the wood
will damage the sauna.
CAUTION: Exit sauna immediately if you feel dizzy, sleepy, or
any discomfort.
30
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 vent or leave the door slightly open. The roof vent is installed on the
sauna and used based on personal preference.
4. Use 2 towels during your sauna session. Fold the first towel several times and
place it on the bench. As you sit on this towel, it will absorb a majority of your
perspiration while adding comfort as you sit on the bench. Use the second towel to
either constantly wipe the perspiration from your body to perspire faster and also to
avoid having too much perspiration dripping onto the floor. Never place any towels
over the floor heater. If your legs become cold, you can use a third towel to drape
over your legs to trap the heat.
5. For every three hours ON, the sauna must be turned OFF for one hour to cool
down.
6. At the first sign of a cold or flu, increasing your sauna sessions may be beneficial
in boosting your immune system and decreasing the reproductive rate of the virus.
7. To help relieve sore and tense muscles, massage the affected areas during your
sauna session.
8. To treat your ankles and feet more effectively, you can elevate them and move
them close to one of the heat emitters to achieve a deep heating effect.
9. To utilize the sauna’s heat therapy effect, put oil and treatment into your hair and
wrap it with a towel. After your sauna session is over, rinse your hair thoroughly.
10. The peaceful and relaxed state rendered by a sauna session may help you to
sleep easier and deeper.
11. To conserve energy consumption, please unplug your sauna when not in use –
especially if you do not plan on using the sauna for an extended period of time.
12. After the sauna session is over, do not jump into the shower or bath immediately.
Because your body was heated up during the sauna session, it will continue to
perspire even after the heat emitters are off. Sit in the sauna with the door slightly
opened and let your body cool down. Once your body has cooled down and you
feel comfortable, you can exit the sauna. After about fifteen minutes and when
your body has completely cooled down, you can take a shower or bath to clean
your body.
1. Read and follow all instructions carefully before using the sauna.
2. When assembling and using the electrical equipment, safety precautions should
always be followed.
3. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to use the sauna unless they are
closely supervised at all times by an adult. Children should not use the sauna
unless prescribed or advised by their medical doctor.
4. Do not use the sauna immediately following strenuous exercises. Wait at least 30
31
minutes to allow the body to cool down completely.
5. Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should contact their medical physician prior
to using the sauna. Excessive temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal
harm during pregnancy.
6. Hyperthermia Danger: The normal body temperature can’t rise above 103°F
(39°C). Symptoms of excessive hyperthermia include dizziness, lethargy,
drowsiness, and/or fainting. The effects of excessive hyperthermia may include,
but are not limited to failure to perceive heat, physical inability to exit the sauna,
unawareness of impending hazards, unconsciousness, and/or fetal harm in
pregnant women. Hyperthermia could make your body’s core temperature rise.
Setting the desired temperature to an excessively high temperature is not
recommended.
7. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medications (prescribed or non-prescribed) prior to or
during the sauna session may lead to unconsciousness and/or other harmful
physical injuries.
8. Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or
high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, diabetes, or other medical
conditions should consult with a medical physician prior to using the sauna.
9. Persons using medications should consult with a medical physician before using
the sauna. Some medications may induce drowsiness while other may affect the
heart rate, blood pressure, and/or blood circulation.
10. Use care when exercising 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. Only wipe
down the sauna room with water and a damp cloth. Never use any chemical
based cleaners.
13. Do not stack or store any objects on top of or inside the sauna.
14. If the power supply cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced immediately by
the manufacturer or its agent. If you find the power cord is too hot (normally it will
become warm) or that the electrical equipment may be experiencing technical
problems, please contact the manufacturer or its agent immediately to avoid
hazardous situations.
15. Make sure that the electrical outlet is in good working order. A common problem
with electrical outlets is loose wiring on the connection points of the terminals of
the outlet. A loose wire will also make for a bad connection and cause an unusual
amount of heat buildup. Loose connections can also cause sparking in the junction
box that can result in arcing. You'll likely see burn marks around the terminals if
this occurs. If this happens, do not use the sauna and have the outlet replaced by
a certified electrician. If the power cord is damaged, please contact Customer
Support.
16. Do not use the sauna during an electrical storm to avoid risk of shock or injury.
17. Do not continuously switch the power ON and OFF excessively as it will
compromise the life of the electrical components.
18. Your hands must be dry and free of moisture before plugging and unplugging
cords and wiring harnesses from the power supply and circuit boards. Never
operate the sauna with wet hands or wet feet to avoid the risk of electrical shock or
injury. Never touch the metal prongs of the plug.
32
19. Do not attempt to make any repairs yourself unless authorized by the manufacturer
or its agent. If a problem occurs with the sauna, please contact the manufacturer or
its agent immediately to avoid safety risks. Unauthorized repair attempts will void
the manufacturer’s warranty.
20. Please make sure the outlet power supply meets the specifications required.
Failure to meet the requirements may cause safety risks.
21. Some sauna models are equipped with reading and/or roof lamps. Because the
lamp temperature will become very hot once powered ON, do not attempt to touch
the lamp to avoid being burned. Do not attempt to touch it for at least 20 minutes or
until it cools down completely if a need to touch it arises.
22. Do not pour water or any other liquids onto the infrared heat emitters. Do not
bump, hit, or break the heating elements as it may cause an electrical short and
pose a safety risk.
23. Do not make any modifications to the sauna, the sauna structure, or the sauna
components.
24. Prior to each sauna session, the sauna room is to be inspected for correct
operation. If for any reason your sauna does not seem to be operating properly,
discontinue use and contact Customer Service.
1. Do not install the sauna near water, near a bathtub (if water will splash on the
sauna), near a shower (if water will splash on the sauna), in a wet basement, or
near a swimming pool (if water will splash on the sauna).
2. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners on the sauna. Unplug the sauna
from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use plain water and a soft damp cloth for
cleaning.
3. The power supply cord should be routed so that it is not walked on or pinched by
any object that may be placed against it.
4. When replacement parts are required, be sure they meet the specified
requirements of the manufacturer. Unauthorized substitutes may result in a fire,
electrical shock, or other hazardous situations. After any repairs, please ask the
service technician to perform a safety check to determine that the sauna is in
good working order.
5. Do not use any wall receptacle adapter, surge protector, or extension cord
between the sauna cord and wall outlet.
Before any troubleshooting of the sauna, make sure to unplug the sauna’s power
cord from the wall outlet. If the sauna is hard wired straight to the breaker in the
Electric Panel, turn the breaker to the “OFF” position.
Solution: The Owner’s Manual is included in the Accessory Box. The
accessory box is located in the roof panel. Please remove the thin
33
hardboard roof cover to gain access to the Accessory Box.
2. Assembly
Solution: We do have an assembly video on youtube.com. The video may
not be of the particular model you purchased, but our saunas do assemble
in a similar fashion. Here is the web address to the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2p-ib6Mwnoc
3. 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 snug and tight to the cords on the roof and that those
cords are properly plugged into the power supply (snug and tight).
Solution: If some of the heat emitters are working, then the ones which are
not working may have been damaged or are not properly connected. Check
that the heat emitter cords are properly connected snug and tight. If the
issue continues, then the particular heat emitter may be damaged. Do not
continue to operate. Contact the manufacturer for replacement parts.
Solution: If the heat emitters are not working and there is a “-L” for the
temperature reading, then the temperature sensor may not be plugged in
properly or it may be damaged or the power supply may be defective. Go
up to the rooftop of the sauna and locate the temperature sensor connection
wires near the air vent towards the rear of the sauna. After you have
located the wires labeled “TEMP SENSOR”, disconnect the connection and
reconnect the connection. If you have a second person available, please
have them continue to look at the control panel as you disconnect and
reconnect the temperature sensor connection to see if the “-L” changes at
any time. If the “-L” disappears and reappears, then there may be an issue
with the connection. Please contact Customer Service for assistance.
Solution: If the control panel is showing no signs of power, then there could
be a connection issue of the “CTRL” harness up on the roof. Go up to the
roof and locate the “CTRL” wire harness you connected when the roof was
installed onto the sauna room. Disconnect the “CTRL” wire harness and
firmly reconnect the “CTRL” wire harness making sure it is snug and tight.
Attempt to turn the sauna on at the control panel and check to see if the
buttons are now responding. Contact the Customer Service for any
additional troubleshooting.
Solution: If the control panel is showing no signs of power, then there could
be a connection issue of the “CTRL” harness behind the control panel. You
will need to remove the wood frame holding the control panel in place to
gain access to the “CTRL” connection behind the control panel. Once you
remove the control panel from the wall panel, you can disconnect and
reconnect the connection making sure it is snug and tight.

Solution: If the control panel is showing no signs of power, check the
sauna power cord at the wall outlet to make sure it is plugged in snug and
tight. Also check your main circuit breaker to confirm that it has not tripped.
Check the power supply on the roof of the sauna to make sure there are no
signs of malfunctioning, such as a high temperature, burning odor, or
strange sounds. Also, check to make sure none of the power cords are
damaged. If the power supply is malfunctioning or power cords are
damaged, then unplug the sauna immediately and contact the Customer
Service.
Solution: The control panel will not turn off, the power/work/or heat lights
do not come on, or the temperature and timer buttons do not work means
the control panel may have been damaged and will need to be replaced.
Before contacting Customer Service, remove the wood frame holding the
control panel in place to gain access to the “CTRL” connection behind the
control panel. Once you remove the control panel from the wall panel, you
can disconnect and reconnect the connection making sure it is snug and
tight. Contact Customer Service for any additional troubleshooting.
Solution: If your sauna is plugged in and you have no power at the control
panel, then the power supply may need to be reset. Go to the roof of the
sauna and locate the power supply. Press the RESET button to reset the
power supply. The RESET button is on the same side of the power supply
as the power cord. Attempt to turn the sauna ON at the control panel.
Contact the manufacturer for any additional troubleshooting if necessary.
Solution: There could be damage to the temperature sensor. If your sauna
arrived with a spare temperature sensor, turn the control panel off and go to
the roof of the sauna and locate the red and black wire near the air vent
towards the rear of the sauna. After you have located the red and black
wires labeled “TEMP SENSOR”, disconnect them. Connect the spare
temperature sensor. For testing purposes, insert the “TEMP SENSOR” (you
just connected) down the vent on the roof so that it is now inside the sauna.
Then go to the control panel and press the power button. If the heat
emitters now heat, then the temperature sensor was the cause of the
problem. You may have to wait about five minutes to confirm if the heat
emitters are generating heat. Remove the original temperature sensor from
its hole and replace it with the spare one.
Solution: If your control panel displays “-L”, it may be an error code and we
assume both control panels are displaying this. If so, then it means there is
a communication issue between the control panel, power supply, and
temperature sensor. Please proceed to the following:
35
1. Reconnect the sauna’s power cord. Make sure the control panel is turned
ON. Two individuals will be needed. One individual will continuously watch
the "-L" on the control panel to see if it changes while a second person goes
up to the roof and locate the "PANEL CONTROL" harness connection that
was connected during the assembling of the sauna room. Check both ends
of this connection including at the power supply box.
2. Disconnect the "PANEL CONTROL" harnesses (both ends) and then
reconnect making sure that the connection is snug and tight.
3. Also and while up on the roof, please located the temperature sensor
wire. The temperature sensor is the black probe that is sticking out of the
interior ceiling above your head as you sit on the bench. Disconnect the
connection and reconnect to make sure the connection is snug and tight.
4. The individual watching the control panel can let you know if the "-L" ever
changed. If the "-L" is still displayed on the control panel, then we need to
rule out a control panel issue. Please proceed to Step B.
1. Make sure to first unplug the sauna’s power cord from the wall outlet or
power source. If the sauna is hard wired straight to the breaker in the
Electric Panel, turn the breaker to the “OFF” position.
2. Remove the exterior wood frame around the exterior control
panel. Simply unscrew the screws holding the wood frame on.
3. Once the wood frame has been removed, lift the control panel up and
out. On the backside of the control panel, you will see a connection
plug. This connection plug needs to be removed. In some cases, there is a
plastic tie that holds the connection plug in place during shipment. This tie
will have to be cut before the connection plug can be unplugged. You do not
need to replace this tie. There are several connections, but you only have to
be concerned with the black connection. You want to unplug by pulling the
male connection from the female connection. Reconnect to make sure the
connection is snug and tight. Leave the control panel hanging from the wall
panel (do not replace with the wood frame as of yet).
4. Next, you can plug the sauna room back into the wall outlet or turn the
breaker back “ON”. Test the control panel to see if it is responding and
working properly or if the "-L" is still displayed. If the control panel is
responding and working properly, then it was a connection issue causing
the problem and you can put back the control panel and wood frame.
Solution: Unfortunately, our saunas cannot be connected to a GFCI due to
the amount of power the sauna uses. We have had customers who have
connected their sauna to a GFCI protected outlet for the first time or for
many months and then all of a sudden the GFCI starts causing the sauna to
trip or just not turn ON at all. We do not have an answer as to why the GFCI
was fine in the beginning when supplying power to the sauna and then
suddenly starts causing problems for the sauna power supply. We
recommended not connecting the sauna power cord to a GFCI protected
outlet.
36
Solution: A common problem with wall outlets is loose wiring on the
connection points of the terminals of the receptacle. A loose wire will also
make for a bad connection and cause an unusual amount of heat buildup.
Loose connections can also cause sparking in the junction box that can
result in arcing. You'll likely see burn marks around the terminals if this
happens. You will need to consult with an electrician to replace the wall
outlet. You will need to contact Customer Service if the power supply cord is
damaged as the power supply will need to be replaced.
6. Bluetooth
Solution: Please note that you can only have a single device connected to
the Bluetooth at any given time. You must unpair your device before
connecting with another device. To do a master reset of the Bluetooth, you
will need to unplug the sauna power cord from the wall outlet for 15
minutes.
Solution: If your color light is not working, the issue with the light may have
to do with the connection on the top side of the light fixture. Please go up to
the roof panel and disconnect the wire connection on the topside of the light
fixture. Then reconnect the wire connection making sure that it is snug and
tight. Return back to the sauna control panel to test the light. If the light is
still having issues, please contact our Customer Service.
Solution: You have two options when it comes to a dedicate
receptacle. You have a true dedicated line if the receptacle is the only
receptacle on the line to the breaker in your electric panel box. You have a
quasi-dedicated line if you have multiple receptacles on a line to the breaker
in your electric panel box and you do not draw any power from the other
receptacles when the sauna is in operation. Both of these options are
acceptable.
Solution: With regards to the lower heat emitters under the bench and on
the floor, these heat emitters operate a bit different than the wall heat
emitters. As the bench heat emitter and floor heat emitter (200W/125W
each) are of much less wattage than the wall heat emitters (300W each),
they will not get nearly as hot as the wall heat emitter panels. We can have
you run two tests. First, remove the bench from the sauna room. Next,
preheat the sauna room by setting the temperature to the maximum of 151
degrees F
37
and time to 90 minutes. Record the starting/beginning temperature and the
temperature after 15 minute intervals up to 90 minutes (do not enter the unit
or open the door during this test). If the sauna room goes above 130
degrees F (usually after about 40 to 50 minutes of preheating with a
beginning temperature above 70 degrees F) at any given time, then we
know that the heat emitters are working successfully. With even one heat
emitter not working correctly, the sauna room will struggle to get above 130
degrees F within the average allotted time. The next test would be to enter
the sauna room and to cautiously place your hand on the back side of the
bench heat emitter in the center (this would normally be covered by the
bench which you
already removed). If you touch the heat emitter panel and it is warm-to-hot,
then it is working correctly. If you are able to place your hand on the back
side of the heat emitter and it feels like there is no heat being produced,
then we know it is not working properly and you will need to contact
Customer Service. You can also check the floor heat emitter by touching
the heat emitter cautiously with your finger. You will need to remove the
wood grade cover to get a true feeling of the heat from the floor heat
emitter. Please do keep in mind that the bench heat emitter and floor heat
emitter only keep the area below the bench warm as heat always rises. The
majority of heat is concentrated above the bench. You can use a towel
to drape over your legs to trap the heat as it rises if your lower extremities
feel a draft.
Solution: The rear wall panel is intentionally warped as part of the sauna
design. This adds strength to the sauna structure once the unit is
assembled. Please try the following in assembling the sauna. With one
person inside the sauna room and pushing on the rear wall panel outward,
a second person should be able to latch the buckles. Make sure that the
wall is fitting together like a puzzle as one wall panel fits into the other.
Work your way down from top to bottom.
Solution: Use 2 towels during your sauna session. Fold the first towel
several times and place it on the bench. As you sit on this towel, it will
absorb a majority of your perspiration while adding comfort as you sit on the
bench. Use the second towel to constantly wipe the perspiration from your
body to perspire faster and also to avoid having too much perspiration
dripping onto the floor heater. Never place any towels over the floor heater.
