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 sauna models range between an average of
5mG-10mG at about two inches from the heater panel and our Ultra Low EMF sauna
models range between 3mG-5mG at the same approximate distance.

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.

Operating the Sauna
NOTE: 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). This is a residential /semi-commercial appliance. For every (3)
hours ON, the unit must have (1) hour OFF.
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. Precautions
a. Please make sure your wall outlet meets the specifications required. Failure to meet the
requirements may cause safety risks.
b. Set the temperature and time to a comfortable level. The average used temperature range is
between 118ºF – 122ºF. The average sauna session is approximately 20 – 30 minutes. It is
recommended that you pre-heat the sauna room to the desired temperature before
entering. Note: If the ambient temperature is below 72℉, the sauna will take longer to pre-
heat. It is not recommended to use the sauna in an environment with an ambient temperature
below 60℉.
c. Drink water prior to, during, and after your sauna session to replenish body fluids.
d. After 2 hours of continuous use, the sauna needs to be shut down for one hour.
e. To avoid burns, do not touch the heating element.
2. Operating The Sauna
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. If you do not have access to the plug, it is
recommended to use a heavy duty surge protector.
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 and OFF. 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.
1. 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.
2. You can also turn the interior light ON/OFF by pressing the button in the
section of the control panel.
3. 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.
5. 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 based on personal
preference.

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 to protect the electronics from power surges.
g. To set the time, press the buttons. Press or buttons to set the timer from 5 to
60 minutes. If pressed for three seconds, the timer will increase/decrease quickly. When the time
expires, the timer will buzz and the sauna will shut off automatically. Please note that the light will
have to be physically turned OFF if it is ON. To extend the sauna session, reset the timer again by
pressing the .
h. The Fahrenheit and Centigrade display can be switched by pressing and holding the
TEMPERATURE side buttons and at the same time and then pressing the .
i. The Bluetooth function is built into the Control Panel. For the Bluetooth function, 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 “BT-AUDIO” or “BT-SAUNA”. Now you can pair your device. Once
pairing is successful, your device will be connected. You will control the volume and choose the
music on your device.
j. The MP3 Jack will allow you to connect your musical device using the AUX wire. Plug one end of
the AUX wire into your musical device and the other end into the MP3 Jack at the ceiling. Do not
leave the AUX wire connected at the ceiling when not using this function as it may cause static
interference at the speakers. You will control the volume and choose the music on your device.
When you disconnect the MP3 wire, the sound system will automatically return back to the Bluetooth
mode.
Please Note: On average, it takes our model saunas approximately:
*20 minutes to reach into 100 degrees Fahrenheit/38 degrees Celsius (with a
starting temperature above 70 degrees Fahrenheit/21 degrees Celsius)
*25-30 mins to reach about 115-120 degrees Fahrenheit/46-49 degrees Celsius
(depending on sauna model)
*35-40 minutes to reach about 125-130 degrees Fahrenheit/52-54 degrees
Celsius (depending on sauna model)
*45-60 minutes to reach up to approximately 135 degrees Fahrenheit/57
degrees Celsius (depending on sauna model)
Please keep in mind that you can either preheat the sauna to the set temperature
before entering or sit inside the sauna as the temperature rises. In addition, you will
increase the time it takes for the sauna to reach the set temperature if you enter the
sauna room before it has reached the set temperature. Also, the most commonly
used temperature setting is between 118 degrees Fahrenheit / 48 degrees
Celsius and 122 degrees Fahrenheit / 50 degrees Celsius. The way the sauna room
works is when you set the Control Panel to say 120 degrees F / 49 degrees C, the
heat emitters will turn off when that set temperature is reached. And even though
the sauna does allow the user to set the Control Panel to 151 degrees F/66 degrees
C, this is specifically for those users who do not want the heat emitters to ever turn
off as the sauna room will never achieve 151 degrees F / 66 degrees C. After 3 hours
of continuous use, the sauna needs to be shut down for one hour.

Use 2 towels during your sauna session. Fold the first towel several times and place
it on the bench. As you sit on this towel, it will absorb a majority of your perspiration
while adding comfort as you sit on the bench. Use the second towel to either
constantly wipe the perspiration from your body to perspire faster and also to avoid
having too much perspiration dripping onto the floor. Never place any towels over
the floor heater. If your legs become cold, you can use a third towel to drape over
your legs to trap the heat.
CAUTION: Exit sauna immediately if you feel dizzy,
sleepy, or any discomfort.
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 vent or leave the door slightly open. The roof vent is installed on the
sauna and used based on personal preference.
4. Use 2 towels during your sauna session. Fold the first towel several times and place
it on the bench. As you sit on this towel, it will absorb a majority of your perspiration
while adding comfort as you sit on the bench. Use the second towel to either
constantly wipe the perspiration from your body to perspire faster and also to avoid
having too much perspiration dripping onto the floor. Never place any towels over
the floor heater. If your legs become cold, you can use a third towel to drape over
your legs to trap the heat.
5. This is a non-commercial sauna. For every three hours ON, the sauna must be
turned OFF for one hour to cool down.
6. 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 the virus.
7. To help relieve sore and tense muscles, massage the affected areas during your
sauna session.
8. 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.
9. To utilize the sauna’s heat therapy effect, put oil and treatment into your hair and
wrap it with a towel. After your sauna session is over, rinse your hair thoroughly.
10.The peaceful and relaxed state rendered by a sauna session may help you to sleep
easier and deeper.
11.To conserve energy consumption, please unplug your sauna when not in use –
especially if you do not plan on using the sauna for an extended period of time.
12.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 slightly
opened and let your body cool down. Once your body has cooled down and you feel
