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.
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.

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.
What are electric and magnetic fields?
Electric and magnetic fields are a basic force of nature (like gravity), generated by
electricity. They are found almost everywhere. Electric and magnetic fields are found in
nature, where they are created by such things as lightning and static electricity. Manmade
fields are found wherever people use electricity, such as near powerlines and electrical
appliances. Like sound, electric and magnetic fields are made of a mixture of components
and so can be described in many different ways. Both have wave-like properties
such as strength and “frequency” (how often they cycle back and forth). Sound can be
loud (strong) or soft (weak), high or low pitched (different frequencies), suddenly loud or
constant in tone, and pure or jarring. Similarly, electric and magnetic fields are a mixture
of components. They can be strong or weak, have a high or low frequency, have sudden
increases in strength (“transients”) or a constant strength, and consist of one pure
frequency or several (called “harmonics”). For example, the strength of a field can be weak
and constant, as in most nighttime home environments, or it can be strong and vary from
high to low every few seconds, as from an electric blanket set on high. Powerlines and
wiring in buildings and appliances generate 50 and 60 Hertz fields, sometimes referred to
Page 2

as “power frequency” fields. Hertz is the unit for measuring the frequency of fields in the
number of wave cycles each second. The lower the frequency of a field, the lower its
energy. Power frequency fields are low frequency fields and have low energy levels.
Microwave and x-ray fields are high frequency fields and have high energy levels. Below
are some EMF measurements.
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.
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.

3. Installing the FRONT RIGHT PANEL and RIGHT SIDE PANEL
A. Place the FRONT RIGHT PANEL up and onto the FLOOR PANEL as seen in
Figure 8. There will be a guide molding on the FLOOR PANEL which the
FRONT RIGHT PANEL will go up against. One adult will need to hold the
FRONT RIGHT PANEL stationary as it stands on the FLOOR PANEL. The
second adult will need to lift the RIGHT SIDE PANEL up and onto the
FLOOR PANEL up against the FRONT RIGHT PANEL. Next, lift the RIGHT
SIDE PANEL upward and onto the guide insert brackets on the FRONT
RIGHT PANEL. You will need to line the three brackets up at the same time
and then you can insert the guide and guide inserts. Next, pull the wall panel
all the way down until the wall panels are flush at the top. (see Figures 10
and 11)
Figure 10 Figure 11
Page 14

4. Installing the REAR PANEL
A. One adult will need to hold the FRONT RIGHT PANEL and RIGHT SIDE
PANEL stationary while the second adult places the REAR PANEL up and
onto the FLOOR PANEL up against the RIGHT SIDE PANEL. After making
sure the top of the wall panels are flush, use the external buckles to fasten
the RIGHT SIDE PANEL to the REAR PANEL. Figure 6 shows the external
buckle. (see Figure 12)
Figure 12
5. Installing the LEFT SIDE PANEL and LEFT SIDE STATIONARY GLASS
A. Place the LEFT SIDE PANEL up and onto the FLOOR PANEL. Be sure that the
LEFT SIDE PANEL is up against the guide molding on the FLOOR PANEL. After
making sure the top of the wall panels are flush, use the external buckles to
fasten the LEFT SIDE PANEL to the REAR PANEL. Now you are ready to install
the LEFT SIDE STATIONARY GLASS. Note that on one of the corners of the
LEFT SIDE STATIONARY GLASS there is a cut out. This cut out will go towards
the front of the sauna. The cut out will be at the bottom of the glass. (see Figure
13 and 14)

6. Installing the BENCHES
A. This model sauna is designed to be used with or without the benches,
depending on your application. If you are using the sauna for yoga, you will want
to remove the benches. The 3-person model comes with 3 removable benches
and the 6-person model comes with 4 removable benches. Use the provided
screws for assembling the bench panels. See Figure 15 for the order of
assembly of the bench panels. Figure 16 and 16a shows the bench layout within
the sauna. You will need to plug in the floor heater(s) before placing the
benches inside the sauna.

7. Installing the FRONT SIDE STATIONARY GLASS with GLASS DOOR
A. Two adults will be needed mostly to assemble, but three adults will be
needed to install the FRONT SIDE STATIONARY GLASS with GLASS
DOOR. Be very careful when lifting the FRONT SIDE STATIONARY GLASS
with GLASS DOOR onto the FLOOR PANEL. You will see the cutout which
the STATIONARY GLASS will fit into along the bottom half of the LEFT
SIDE PANEL and the FLOOR PANEL. Use a piece of cardboard and slide
it between the GLASS DOOR and the FLOOR PANEL to keep the DOOR
GLASS balanced. Once in place, one adult will need to hold the FRONT
SIDE STATIONARY GLASS with GLASS DOOR in place while a second
adult uses the provided screws to mount the FRONT SIDE STATIONARY
GLASS to the LEFT SIDE STATIONARY GLASS. Be careful to make sure
the screws are tight, but do not overtighten. (see Figure 18)
