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. 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.

ARE INFRARED RAYS SAFE?

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 Low EMF carbon heater panels range between an average of 5mG-10mG at about

two inches from the heater panel, our Ultra Low EMF carbon heater panels range between

3

Page 3

3mG-5mG, and our Near Zero EMF carbon heater panels range at less than 3mG (NIR

heaters range at about 5mG-7mG at the same approximate 2 inches)

EMF Levels from Common Homes Sources

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.

DISCLAIMER

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.

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. 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.

Health Benefits

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.

Health Benefits Include, But Are Not Limited To:

*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

Sauna Maintenance

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.

Operating the Sauna

NOTE: Please check and confirm that the connections to the POWER SUPPLY,

HEAT EMITTERS, 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). This is a residential /semi-commercial appliance. For every (3)

hours ON, the unit must have (1) hour OFF.

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 after use since

the pores in your skin will be open and could possibly absorb anything in the water.

1. Control Panel Operation:

A. Standby Status: While the system is in Standby Status, press and

hold any area on the control panel display screen for

approximately (5) seconds. This will activate the display screen to

come out of Standby Status and the lights will come ON. You will see

“Hello” on the display and you can now enter the main control interface

mode within (3) seconds. You must always physically turn the Control

Panel OFF after each use. When you press the “Power Off”, the system

will enter the shutdown mode. Proceed to press the “OK” button and

C. Temperature Setting: To set/adjust the temperature, press the “ “ or

“ “. You can also drag the horizontal bar “ “ up/down to set/adjust the

temperature setting as well. The range is between 86ºF/30ºC - 150ºF/65ºC. The

average used temperature range is between 118ºF/48ºC – 122ºF/50ºC. The

average sauna session is approximately 20 – 30 minutes. It is recommended

that you pre-heat the sauna room to the desired temperature before entering.

Note: If the ambient temperature is below 68ºF/20ºC, the sauna will take longer

to pre-heat. It is not recommended to use the sauna in an environment with an

ambient temperature below 60ºF/16ºC.

D. Time Setting: To set/adjust the time, press the “ “ or “ “. You can also drag

the horizontal bar “ “ up/down to set/adjust the time setting as well. The

I. Drink water prior to, during, and after your sauna session to replenish body fluids.

J. After 3 hours of continuous use, the sauna needs to be shut down for one hour.

K. To avoid burns, do not touch the heating element.

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

Celsius (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 the maximum temperature,

this is specifically for those users who do not want the heaters to ever turn off as

the sauna room will never achieve up to the maximum set temperature. After 3

hours of continuous use, the sauna needs to be shut down for one hour.

30

Page 30

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.

CAUTION: Average used temperature range is between

120 degrees F – 130 degrees F. Exit sauna immediately

if you feel dizzy, sleepy, or any discomfort.

The information provided in this Owner’s Manual if for informational purposes only

and may not be construed as medical advice or instruction. The information is not

recommended for any particular treatment and in all cases, it is recommended that

you consult with your medical physician before using. This product does not

constitute or imply any medical endorsement.

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 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. Do not allow sweat puddles to develop onto the floor

panel.

5. This is a non-commercial sauna. 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.

31

Page 31

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.

Safety Instructions

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

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

32

Page 32

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.

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.

33

Page 33

Safeguards For Your Sauna

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.

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

by disconnecting and reconnecting, 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.

Solution: If some of the heat emitters are working, then the ones which are

not working may have been damaged. Do not continue to operate. Contact

the manufacturer for

replacement parts.

Solution: If the heat emitters are not working but the control panel displays the

time and temperature, then the temperature sensor may not be plugged in

properly or it may be damaged. Turn the control panel off and then go to the roof

of the sauna and locate the red and black wires 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 have heat, then the “TEMP 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.

2. Control Panel Malfunctioning

Solution: The control panel will turn on, but not off and the displayed numbers

flash. The issue may be a connection problem. 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, check the pins to make

sure they are straight and not bent, and firmly reconnect the “CTRL” wire

harness. Attempt to turn the sauna on at the control panel and check to see if

the buttons are now responding. Contact the manufacturer for any additional

troubleshooting.

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. Contact

the manufacturer for additional troubleshooting.

3. Sauna Shows Signs Of No Power

Solution: There could be one of a few problems causing this. First, check to see if

the cord from the power supply is plugged into the wall outlet. 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

manufacturer.

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 all the heater cord

connections. Attempt to turn the sauna on at the control panel. Contact

the manufacturer for any additional troubleshooting.

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: Check the wiring harnesses coming from the power supply located on

35

Page 35

the roof of the sauna. Make sure the wiring harness labeled “CTRL” is connected

to the power supply at one end and connected to another wiring harness labeled

“CTRL” at the other end. If this wiring harness is not properly connected, then the

sauna will show signs of having no power.

Maintenance

Do not use 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

and 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.
