ENJOYING YOUR SAUNA
1. Prior to initial use, wipe down all interior surfaces of the sauna with a damp cloth.
2. Turn on the sauna and set temperature to 104°F for one hour to burn off any factory dust.
3. Always drink plenty of water before, during, and after your sauna session to stay properly hydrated.
4. A normal sauna session should last 30 minutes or less.
5. Allow approximately 15 to 25 minutes for the sauna to warm up before entering.
6. Perspiration will begin within 15 to 25 minutes after entering the sauna.
7. Limit the use of lotions or oils on your body while using your sauna. These products can block your
pores and limit perspiration, decreasing the effectiveness of your sauna session.
8. For spot treatment, position your body closer to the heater, allowing for deeper heating
of that body part or area.
9. During your sauna session, place towels on the bench seats and on the floor to absorb perspiration
and maintain cleanliness of your sauna.
10. Towel off excess perspiration during your sauna session to help your body perspire more freely.
11. Open the ceiling vent or the front door to allow fresh air into your sauna.
12. Allow your body to cool down following your sauna session, then rinse the perspiration off your
body in a warm shower.
HEALTH & SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Review all instructions and warnings before operating your sauna. A sauna is not a toy. Serious
injury may result from negligence, intentional misuse, and failure to follow safety instructions.
2. Hyperthermia Danger: Hyperthermia occurs when the body absorbs more heat than it can
dissipate. When the elevated body temperatures are sufficiently high, hyperthermia is a medical
emergency and requires immediate treatment to prevent disability or death. It is very important
not to allow your body’s core temperature to rise above 103° F. Symptoms of hyperthermia
include dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia may include
failure to perceive heat, failure to recognize the need to exit the sauna, unawareness of the
impending health hazard, physical inability to exit the sauna, and unconsciousness.
