TIPS TO USE YOUR ICOMFORT SAUNA6.
It is recommended to wear minimal clothing in the sauna as some clothing materials
absorb the infrared rays and nullify its effectiveness.
After about a 10 minute warm-up period, the sauna is ready to use. You will feel the
heat being generated by the infrared emitters immediately.The wavelength of this heat
will allow the rays to penetrate your skin and heat your body beneath the skin surface.
Most people tend to sweat after about 20 minutes although this time shortens with
frequent sauna use.
It is recommended that you drink water before, during and after your sauna to make sure
you do not become dehydrated.
If you take a hot shower or bath before your sauna session, you may1.
perspire more.
To help regulate the ideal temperature inside the sauna you can use the movable2.
roof ventilation trap.This will evacuate heat faster.
Use one towel folded over several times for added cushioning.3.
To help relieve sore and tense muscles, massage the affected areas while in the4.
sauna to help heal faster.
To treat your ankles and feet more effectively, you can elevate them and move5.
them close to a heater to achieve a specific deep heating effect.
The peaceful and relaxed state rendered by a sauna session will help you to sleep6.
easier and better.
After the session is over, do not jump into the shower immediately. Since your7.
body was heated during the session it will continue to sweat even after the heaters
are off. Sit in the sauna with the door open and let the body sweat a little more
while it cools off. Once you feel comfortable enough, take a warm (or cool) shower
to rinse the perspiration off your body completely.

It is also possible the sauna temperature display is not able to reach its maximum
temperature. This is normal and does not in any way affect the performance of the
infrared heaters or their health benefits. The sauna temperature sensor only measures
the heat radiated by the heating elements. It does not measure the infrared heater’s
penetrating heat and this is where most of the health benefits are.
