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

4
3mG-5mG, and our Near Zero EMF/Full Spectrum models 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.

The sauna can be assembled in different sequences, but the above is
recommended. The natural wood finish will be the interior of the sauna.
f. Tools Required: Philips screwdriver and ladder
2. Installing the FLOOR PANEL
A. Place the FLOOR PANEL onto your floor where the sauna is to be
assembled. The front of the Floor Panel will have a sticker indicating where
the door will be situated as seen in Figure 1. (see Figure 3)

3. Installing the FRONT PANEL up against the FLOOR PANEL
A. Please note that the FRONT PANEL has a smaller horizontal wood plank at
the interior bottom of the wall panel than the top. This wood plank will rest
upon the top of the Floor Panel. Place the FRONT PANEL with the glass
door up and against the FLOOR PANEL at what will be the frontside of the
sauna. It will need to be situated in the center of the front of the FLOOR
PANEL. (see Figure 4)

4. Installing the LEFT SIDE PANEL and RIGHT SIDE PANEL
A. One adult will need to hold the FRONT PANEL stationary while the second
adult places the LEFT SIDE PANEL up and against the FLOOR PANEL. Next,
the second adult will need to lift the LEFT SIDE PANEL up and against the
FRONT PANEL. Once the guide and guide insert brackets are engaged, the
LEFT SIDE PANEL will need to be pulled downward until the top of both wall
panels are flush. Please see the “NOTE”below if the wall panels are not flush
at the top.
NOTE: If any of the wall panels do not slide all the way down, then follow this tip:
1. First, remove the side wall panel.
2. Locate the guide and guide insert brackets on the two wall panels (6 pieces total).
3. Loosen the screws on the guide and guide insert brackets by two-to-three turns
(so the guide and guide inserts have a slight movement)
4. Reattached the wall panels
The above will help as sometimes the guide and guide insert brackets are
countersunk too deep. Please note that the guide and guide insert brackets slide
together at an angle - as the wall panels slide downward, the guide and guide insert
brackets pull the wall panels tighter together.
Do the same for the RIGHT SIDE PANEL as when installing the LEFT SIDE
PANEL. (see Figure 5)

5. Installing the REAR PANEL
A. To install the REAR Panel, you will need to open up the RIGHT SIDE PANEL
and LEFT SIDE PANEL slightly to fit the REAR PANEL between the two. Be
sure that you place the REAR PANEL between the two side panels and note
how the wall panels fit together like a puzzle with the channel going vertically on
the side walls. Once the REAR PANEL is in place, you can buckle the side
panels to the REAR PANEL using the external buckles. (see Figure 6 and Figure
7)
Figure 6
Figure 7
6. Installing the HIMALAYAN SALT PANEL SUPPORT, FLOOR HEATER and
BENCH
A. First, locate the HIMALAYAN SALT PANEL SUPPORT and carefully remove
the packaging materials. You will need to install the HIMALAYAN SALT PANEL
SUPPORT at an angle as seen in Figure 8. Make sure that the cutout for the
FLOOR HEATER cord is at the bottom of the HIMALAYAN SALT PANEL
SUPPORT. The cutout will allow the FLOOR HEATER cord to pass under the
HIMALAYAN SALT PANEL SUPPORT and be connected with the
corresponding cord connection from the LEFT SIDE PANEL. In addition, also
be sure that the HIMALAYAN SALT PANEL SUPPORT is situated between the
two vertical wood planks on the LEFT SIDE PANEL. (See Figure 8) Now you

15
will pull the right side of the HIMALAYAN SALT PANEL SUPPORT forward and
rest it up against the single vertical wood plank. (see Figure 8)
B. Next, you will install the FLOOR HEATER. Locate the Floor Heater and
remove it carefully remove the packaging. The FLOOR HEATER will be placed
in front of the HIMALAYAN SALT PANEL SUPPORT. To run the FLOOR
HEATER cord under the HIMALAYAN SALT PANEL SUPPORT (through the
cutout), the HIMALAYAN SALT PANEL SUPPORT will need to be lifted slightly.
Once you have run the FLOOR HEATER cord under the HIMALAYAN SALT
PANEL SUPPORT, you can connect it to the corresponding cord connection
from the LEFT SIDE PANEL. You will need to connect the light wire connection
from the HIMALAYAN SALT PANEL to the wire connection from the REAR
Panel. Although the FLOOR HEATER is a floating heater (meaning it can
be moved around), we do highly recommend using the provided screws
and screwing it down to the floor panel to avoid slipping hazard. (see
Figure 9)
C. Lastly, locate and remove the packaging materials from the BENCH. Now
the BENCH will need to be installed. You will need to maneuver it in order to fit
it in place. (see Figure 10)

9. Installing the ROOF PANEL
A. The side of the ROOF PANEL with the power supply (control box) is the top
of the roof panel.
B. Be careful of the wires coming from the SIDE and REAR PANELS when you
set the ROOF PANEL down and into the wall panels. Feed the wires through
the holes in the ROOF PANEL. Also feed the control harness wire through the
hole in the ROOF PANEL.
C. Be careful not to force the ROOF PANEL into place when dropping it down
between the wall panels. Make sure that the wires are properly fed through the
holes. Furthermore, make sure the ROOF PANEL sits snugly into place. Once
the ROOF PANEL is set in place, proceed to connect the heater cords and other
wiring harnesses according to the respective labels. (see Figure 10)

10. Installing the DOOR HANDLE
To install the DOOR HANDLE, first locate the DOOR HANDLE. It may need to be
dismantled in order to install. Next, note the metal side door handle will be the
exterior side and the wood side door handle will be the interior. Use the plastic
washers between the exterior and interior door handles when screwing the door
handle to the glass door. (see Figure 11)
Glass door is between the plastic washers
Figure 11
Please Note: The black plastic protective corners around the glass door corners will need to
be removed upon using the sauna.
11. Installing the TEMPERATURE SENSOR
A. Enter the sauna and remove the protective covering (white tape) from the
TEMPERATURE SENSOR. Please note that the black plastic section of the
TEMPERATURE SENSOR is part of the TEMPERATURE SENSOR. Situate the
TEMPERATURE SENSOR so that it is vertical and pointing downward. (see
Figure 27)
Figure 27
Please Note: Some sauna models are shipped with a spare TEMPERATURE SENSOR (inside
the Accessory Box) in the case that the TEMPERATURE SENSOR is damaged during transit.
The manufacturer decides this according to sauna models and packaging.

11. Installing the ROOF DUST COVER (optional)
A. Place the ROOF DUST COVER over the top of the ROOF PANEL. Be
cautious when pulling the power cord through the hole in the ROOF DUST
COVER. When the edges are aligned, screw the ROOF DUST COVER into
place. The installation of the ROOF DUST COVER is optional.
Assembly Completed
Operating the Sauna
NOTE: Before the sauna is turned on, remove plastic protective covering from the
CONTROL PANELS. Please check and confirm that the connections to the
POWER SUPPLY, HEAT EMITTERS, CD/RADIO, 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
for 2-person models or 120VAC 20AMP Dedicated Circuit for 3-person models).
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.

a. Review the electrical label on the sauna and then plug the sauna into the proper wall
outlet. No other appliance can be operated on the same electrical breaker as the
sauna when the sauna is in use. Proceed in turning on the sauna room using the
ON/OFF button to activate the sauna.
b. The sauna should be unplugged when not in use for long periods of time.
c. To set the temperature, press the temperature buttons to increase or decrease
the temperature to the desired temperature. If the “Heat" light is on, the temperature
setting will increase one degree every time the button is pressed. If pressed for
three seconds, the setting will increase quickly. Decrease the temperature in the
same manner by pressing the button. After the sauna reaches the desired
temperature, the “Heat” light will turn off.
d. Press the button to turn the light ON. If you want to use the Color Light
Therapy System:
1. While the interior light is ON, press and hold down the button
for 2 seconds. You will notice “2n” in the LED display. This indicates you are
in the “light” mode. If you do not press any buttons for approximately 15
seconds, the “2n” will change back to the Timer mode.
2. While the “2n” is displayed, you can now turn the exterior light ON/OFF by
pressing the button in the section of the control panel.
3. You can also turn the interior light ON/OFF by pressing the button in the
section of the control panel.
4. While the interior light is on and the “2n” is still displayed in the LED display,
you can press the button to scroll through the different colors within the
Color Light Therapy System. You will notice that you have two selections for
“white”:
A. The first selection for “white” will allow the colors to go through a
sequence of the different shades of colors.
B. The second selection for “white” will continue to display the white
light.
To return back to the Timer mode, press the button.
e. You can operate the sauna with the ceiling vent in the open or closed position.
f. After your sauna session is over, you can turn the control panel off by pressing the
ON/OFF button. You can unplug the sauna cord if the sauna will not be used for an
extended period of time.
g. To set the time, press the buttons. Press ‘ and buttons to set the
timer from 5 to 60 minutes. If pressed for three seconds, the timer will
