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, only
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.

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.
Traditional Infrared
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.
Over the last 25 years, Japanese and Chinese researchers and clinicians have completed extensive research
on infrared treatments and have reported many provocative findings. In Japan, there is an "infrared society"
composed of medical doctors and physical therapists dedicated to furthering infrared research. Their findings
support the health benefits of infrared therapy as a method of healing.

Benefits include, but are not limited to:
- Pain relief from Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Relaxing muscle spasms
- Increasing 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. Do not use any cleaning
chemicals as they can be absorbed into the wood and be released into your sauna during use.
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 25 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 health condition, are taking prescription drugs, or have acute
joint injuries, please consult your physician before starting infrared therapy. Persons with surgical implants
(metal pins and rods, artificial joints, silicone, or other types of surgical implants) typically do not experience
any adverse effects, but should also consult their physician or surgeon before starting infrared therapy.
CAUTION: Exit sauna immediately if you feel dizzy,
sleepy, or any discomfort.

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, 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 or 120VAC 20AMP Dedicated Circuit).
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.
1. Plug the sauna into the outlet receptacle.
2. Press the button once. The POWER light will come on, the TIME DISPLAY will show 90
(minutes), the TEMPERATURE DISPLAY will show 66 (degrees Celsius), and the control panel
will flash.
3. Press the button and then the up/down arrows to adjust the amount of time you want the
sauna to remain on. Press the C/F button to choose between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Press the
button and then the up/down arrows to adjust the temperature setting. Once you have set
these adjustments to the desired settings, press the button. You will need to pre-heat the
sauna room to the set temperature before entering. Please keep in mind that you will increase the
time it takes for the sauna room to reach the set temperature if you enter the sauna room before it
has reached the set temperature.
4. The set-up time will count downward in minutes one by one. The time will continue to count
downward unless you interrupt the time by pressing the clock button and then adjust the time to
your preference by pressing the up/down arrow buttons. Once again, you can adjust the time in
minutes by pressing the button and then the up/down arrows. If you do choose to adjust the
time, the control panel will flash and the emitters will stop generating heat. Once you set the time
to the desired setting, then press the button twice and the control panel will stop flashing and
heat will began coming from the emitters once again.
5. Heating times do vary. Generally, it will take approximately twenty to thirty minutes to preheat the
sauna to 50 degrees Celsius / 122 degrees Fahrenheit. When the ambient temperature is low,
heating requires additional time. For the first few times of use, you may use 46 degrees Celsius
/115 degrees Fahrenheit as a reference starting point for a time period of about 15 minutes (this
represents the actual time you are in the sauna at the desired temperature). As you become more
comfortable and familiar with the sauna, you can increase the temperature and time period
according to personal preference.
6. When the temperature is at the set-up value, the digital control will maintain the set temperature.
The emitters will stop generating heat. Once the inside temperature drops approximately 4
degrees, the heat will again be generated by the emitters. The inside temperature will always
remain around the set-up value.

7. Reading lamps and/or roof lamps and/or color therapy lamps are operated by pressing the
button located on the control panel. These lamps are offered on some models and are not
available on all models. When you press the button once, the interior light will come ON.
When you press the button twice, the interior light will turn OFF. When you press the
button three times, the interior white light and exterior white lights will come ON. When you press
the button four times, both the interior and exterior lights will turn OFF.
8. Chromotherapy/ColorTherapy Lighting (optional/not available on all models) can be
operated as follows. First, you will need to install the battery. Once the battery has been inserted
into the remote, you are ready to operate the chromotherapy/colortherapy lighting system. Press
the button on the sauna control panel. The white light will come on. While pointing the
remote at the ceiling light, you can press any of the colors on the remote and that color will be
displayed. You can use the SHADE button on the remote to go through a sequence of colors. If
you want to turn the light off during your sauna session, you can press the POWER button on the
remote. Please note: You must be inside the sauna room for the remote to work.
9. Bluetooth can be used on the sauna room. You first will need to pair your device with the sauna
room. Open your device’s Settings Menu and then locate and open Bluetooth. You will find
iSauna. Now you can pair your device with iSauna. If you are prompted to enter a
passcode, try entering 0000 or 1234. Once pairing is successful, your device will be connected.

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. Fold one of the towels several times and place it on the
bench. This towel will absorb some of your perspiration while adding comfort as you sit on the bench.
Place another towel on the floor to absorb perspiration as it falls from your body(onlyonCeramicModel
Saunas). Be sure not to place any towels over the floor heat emitters. Use a third towel to wipe
perspiration from your body from time to time.
5) At the first sign of a cold or flu, increasing your sauna sessions may be beneficial in boosting your
immune system and decreasing the reproductive rate of
viruses.
6) To help relieve sore and tense muscles, massage the affected areas during your sauna session.
7) To treat your ankles and feet more effectively, you can elevate them and move them close to one of
the heat emitters to achieve a deep heating effect.
8) To utilize the sauna's heat therapy effect, put oil or treatment into your hair and wrap it with a towel.
After your sauna session is over, rinse your hair thoroughly. Please follow the product directions for
the intended benefits.
9) The peaceful and relaxed state rendered by a sauna session may help you to sleep easier and deeper.
10) To conserve energy consumption, please unplug your sauna when not in use.
11) After the sauna session is over, do not jump into the shower or bath immediately. Because your body
was heated up during the sauna session, it will continue to perspire even after the heat emitters are off.
Sit in the sauna with the door open slightly and let your body cool down. Once your body has cooled
down and you feel comfortable, you can exit the sauna. After about twenty minutes and when your
body has completely cooled down, you can take a shower to rinse the perspiration off your body.
Safety Instructions
1.) Read and follow all instructions carefully before using the sauna.
2.) When installing and using the electrical equipment, safety precautions should always be followed.
3.) To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to use the sauna unless they are closely supervised at
all times by an adult.
4.) Do not use the sauna immediately following strenuous exercises. Wait at least 30 minutes to allow
the body to cool down completely.
5.) Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should contact their physician prior to using the sauna.
Excessive temperature has a high potential for causing fetal damage during pregnancy.
6.) Hyperthermia Danger: the normal body temperature can't rise above 39°C (103°F). Symptoms of
excessive hyperthermia include dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of excessive
hyperthermia may include failure to perceive heat, physical inability to exit sauna, unawareness of
impending hazard, unconsciousness and fetal damage in pregnant women. Hyperthermia could make
your body's core temperature rise. Setting desired temperature to an excessively high temperature is
not recommended.
7.) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medications prior to or during the sauna session may lead to
unconsciousness and/or other harmful physical injuries.
8.) 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.
