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.
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.
Benefits include, but are not limited to: - Pain relief from Rheumatoid Arthritis - Relaxing muscle spasms - Increases blood circulation - Cardiovascular conditioning - Clears rashes, acne - Reduces cellulite - Removes toxins and mineral waste - Reduces stress and fatigue - Enhances skin tone 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 and a soft clean cloth.

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.
B. Installing the FLOOR PANEL 1. Place the FLOOR PANEL on the floor. Some models have wood braces that must be installed on the underside of the FLOOR PANEL. Please check to see if such wood braces were packed in the box containing the FLOOR PANEL. If so, mount according to the designated labels located on the underside of the FLOOR PANEL. Once installed, turn the FLOOR PANEL right side up. Make sure the front side of the FLOOR PANEL is facing the correct direction.
D. Installing the REAR WALL PANEL 1. Remove the protection paper/tape from the buckles on the REAR WALL PANEL. Place the REAR WALL PANEL up onto the FLOOR PANEL. Next, attach the REAR WALL PANEL to the LEFT SIDE WALL PANEL and use the buckles to latch together. Do the same for the RIGHT SIDE WALL PANEL. (see Figure 12) Figure 12 E. Installing the BENCH HEAT EMITTER PANEL and BENCH 1. Installing the BENCH HEAT EMITTER PANEL can be a little tricky.
F. Installing the ROOF PANEL 1. The side of the ROOF PANEL with the power supply (control box) is the top of the roof panel. 2. The edge nearest the power supply is the front of the ROOF PANEL. Be careful of the wires coming from the SIDE and REAR PANELS when you set the ROOF PANEL down onto the panels. Feed the wires through the holes in the ROOF PANEL. Feed the control cable and buzzer plug up through the ROOF PANEL. 3. Be careful not to force the ROOF PANEL into place.
H. Installing the TEMPERATURE SENSOR and optional accessories 1. Enter the sauna and remove the protective covering (masking tape) from the TEMPERATURE SENSOR. Situate the TEMPERATURE SENSOR so that it is vertical and pointing downward. (see Figure 18) Figure 18 Note: Some sauna models are shipped with a spare TEMPERATURE SENSOR in case the TEMPERATURE SENSOR is damaged during transit. The manufacturer decides this according to sauna models and packaging. 2.
I. Putting on the ROOF COVER 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 23) Figure 23 J. Assembling the RADIO BOX (optional) 1.

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. The roof ventilation is installed on the sauna and used based on personal preference. 4) Use 2 or 3 towels during your sauna session.

Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician prior to using the sauna. 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. Exercise care before and after sauna use.
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. Solution: If some of the heat emitters are working, then the ones which are not working may have been damaged.
Solution: Check the wiring harnesses coming from the power supply located on 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. Disconnect the “CTRL” harness connection, check to make sure none of the pins are bent or pushed in, and reconnect making sure it is snug and tight.
