HEALTH & SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Review all instructions and warnings before operating your sauna. A sauna is not a toy. Seri-
ous injury may result from negligence, intentional misuse and failure to follow safety instruc-
tions.
2. Hyperthermia Danger: Hyperthermia occurs when the body absorbs more heat than it can
dissipate. When the elevated body temperatures are suciently high, hyperthermia is a medical
emergency and requires immediate treatment to prevent disability or death. It is very impor-
tant not to allow your body’s core temperature to rise above 103° F. Symptoms of hyperthermia
include dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness and fainting. The eects of hyperthermia may include
failure to perceive heat, failure to recognize the need to exit the sauna, unawareness of the im-
pending health hazard, physical inability to exit the sauna and unconsciousness.
3. If you are feeling uncomfortable, faint or dizzy, exit the sauna immediately.
4. Do not exceed recommended time and temperature guidelines.
5. Do not touch or interfere with the temperature sensor on the control panel.
6. Do not touch or spray water on the heater elements.
7. Do not use the sauna while under the inuence of drugs or alcohol.
