Application
This infrared lamp is only intended for radiating the human body.
Infrared radiation causes warmth to be transported to the human body. The blood supply in the radiated skin is
increased and the metabolic turnover in the field of temperature enhanced. The mode of action of the infrared
light encourages the body to heal; healing processes are thus assisted in a specific area.
Infrared light can be used as a parallel treatment in diseases of the ear, nose and throat and to assist in facial and
beauty care, especially in case of impure skin.
However, first ask your family doctor whether application in the individual case is advisable from a medical standpoint.

• Medications, cosmetics or food can lead to a over-sensitive or allergic reaction of the skin under certain
conditions. Radiation must be ended immediately in this case.
• An appropriate distance between the infrared lamp and the desired treatment area must be maintained
during treatment so that no skin irritation, such as tingling, itching, burning or too high heat sensitivity
occurs. Stop the treatment if this occurs. Alternatively, increase the radiation distance and/or reduce the
radiation duration.
• The minimum distances described in these instructions for use must be adhered to.
• If the appliance is operated continuously, caution and attention are advisable - never fall asleep during
