A. Installation & Maintenance

1) How to choose a location

When choosing a location for your Inuence Sauna, keep these

two things in mind: One, your sauna should be placed on a solid

surface. Two, your sauna must be placed in a dry area.

Here are the installation requirements for your Inuence

Infrared Sauna:

1. Your sauna should not be built into any structure. It is a self-

contained and freestanding unit.

2. To allow easy access to the main power cord, ensure there’s

a minimum of 3-inches of clearance from the top wall and all

sides of the unit.

Moisture may cause damages to the interior and exterior of your

sauna. Your basement, attic, garage, playroom, spare bedroom,

new extension, and garden chalet are a few possible locations

for your sauna. Inuence Sauna’s beautiful cedar wooden

exterior should complement your house beautifully.

If you choose to place your sauna outdoors, you must use

a cover (see page 25) to protect your sauna. Don’t place the

sauna on a surface that easily gets wet. Placing your sauna

outside without a cover will void your warranty.

2) Cleaning & maintenance

1. Before using your Inuence Infrared Sauna for the rst time,

use a damp cloth to clean the inside of the sauna. You can use

a natural furniture polish or bees wax to clean the exterior.

2. To burn o any factory dust before using your sauna for

the rst time, turn the sauna on for the maximum time and

temperature. For maximum performance of the heaters, cycle

your Inuence Sauna (turn on to max temperature and run for

one hour) 2-3 times.

3. Remove any scratches and stains on the inside of the sauna

using a ne grade sandpaper over the damaged area.

4. A customized Inuence Sauna cover is available as an

accessory for all models. Use of this protective storage cover

will not only preserve the natural beauty of the sauna but will

also help in maintaining it for years of continuous enjoyment.

5. We recommend applying a heavy furniture polish or bees

wax to the outside of the sauna before putting the (optional)

cover on. The polish will create a barrier for better protection.

Your Inuence Sauna is equipped with special infrared heaters. Infrared heat waves reach the body directly without having to

heat the air inside the sauna.

With this system, breathing is more comfortable and the atmosphere inside the sauna is more enjoyable than in conventional

saunas. Because the infrared heat energy is warming the body directly (and not the air, walls, and xtures within the sauna), lower

temperature settings can be used to achieve results in short sessions starting from 20 to 30 minutes.

C. Helpful tips for enjoying your sauna sessions

1) Preparing for your infrared session

1. Review all health and safety instructions. If in

doubt as to the advisability of using your infrared sauna,

consult with your physician.

2. The interior of the Inuence Infrared Sauna is made of

the nest Western Canadian Red Cedar. It is aromatic

and adds to the enjoyment of your sauna session. If the

fragrance of the fresh wood is too strong during the rst

few months of use, rst wipe the wood with a damp cloth

to minimize the aroma.

3. Always drink plenty of water before, during and after

a session. Doing so will replenish uids lost during

perspiration.

4. Do not eat anything at least an hour before your sauna

session. It is better to go in the sauna on an empty stomach.

You are more likely to feel uncomfortable sitting in a sauna

with a full stomach.

5. Choosing to take a hot shower or bath prior to the sauna

session will further promote perspiration. However, dry o

thoroughly before going into the sauna because excessive

water will leave stains and might warp the wood.

6. Provide at least 2-3 towels. One towel folded over several

times for added cushioning on the bench. Another towel on

the oor to absorb extra sweat. And a third towel to wipe o

sweat.

7. Start up your sauna and select the desired session

temperature and time using the control panel (see page 6

and next page).

8. Allow approximately 15 to 20 minutes for the sauna to

warm up to a comfortable temperature before beginning a

session (warm up time is subject to the air temperature and

is dierent for each model).

Max Temperature (170ºF) Time

Inuence Hybrid 40-45 Min

Inuence 2-3 40-45 Min

Inuence 3-4 40-50 Min

Please Note:

Your sauna’s maximum temperature setting

may not be achieved based on variations in ambient room

temperature, air ow, placement of sauna, etc. If you are

experiencing unusual warm-up times or if you have recently

moved your sauna from one location to another, please call

our technical support team for thermostat calibration help.

2) Setting session time and temperature

Your body will probably need a few weeks to fully adapt to

regular use of your Inuence Sauna.

Here are some average guidelines to set the time and

temperature once you are used to the sessions:

C. Helpful tips for enjoying your sauna sessions

Time:

Noticeable results are usually obtained

with sessions of at least 30 minutes. For

therapeutic use, sessions of 45 minutes are

advised.

Temperature:

Many beginners need to start with a lower

temperature and work their way up to a

higher temperature. Some studies show

therapeutic benets at 163°. Inuence

Saunas get to 170°. If perspiration does not

start after 10 to 15 minutes, this usually

indicates that the temperature is set too

low to obtain good results.

When using your Inuence Sauna for the rst time:

• Do not do more than three sessions a week during the

rst four weeks. You can do daily sessions after six weeks,

if desired.

• If you do not feel comfortable or relaxed during a

session, lower the temperature and/or open the door of

the cabin.

InuenceSauna.com | 19

C. Helpful tips for enjoying your sauna sessions

3) Useful information and tips for during your sauna session

1. Make sure you have a towel on the oor and on the bench

of the sauna to absorb perspiration.

In order to maintain a clean and pleasant atmosphere inside

your sauna, do not leave damp towels on the bench or

oor. Remove them immediately after the session is over.

2. Be sure to towel o excess sweat during your session to

help the body perspire more freely.

3. When the temperature reaches the level set on the control

panel, the heaters will turn o and on periodically in order to

maintain the desired temperature level inside of the sauna.

4. The ceiling vent on the top panel can be opened at any

time to introduce fresh air into the sauna.

5. If you feel the need for more cooling, simply leave the door

open until the air around you feels comfortable enough.

6. Do not put any lotions or oils on the body or face

prior to using the sauna. This may block the pores and

hinder perspiration.

7. Essential oils can help you to nd more tranquility during

your session.

8. To make the most out of your sauna session, work your

muscles while in the sauna. Stretch your arms, legs etc. to

help relieve sore and tense muscles and massage the

aected areas while in the sauna. If you wish to achieve a

deep heating eect to a specic area, move it closer to a

heater.

9. To relieve your ankles and feet more eectively, you must

elevate them while inside the sauna.

10. Shaving your face or legs with a razor while profusely

sweating in a sauna yields an incredibly smooth result

without the use of gels or foams.

11. Do not forget to drink plenty of water before, during and

after sessions to replenish lost uids through perspiration.

12. After the session is over, do not immediately jump into the

shower. Since your body was heated up during the session,

it will continue to sweat even after the heaters are o. Sit in

the sauna with the door open and let your body cool o.

Once you feel comfortable enough, take a warm (or cool)

shower to rinse the perspiration o your body.

D. Safety precautions

1) General safety precautions

1. Read Instructions

Carefully read all safety and operating instructions before

operating your sauna.

2. Retain these safety and operating instructions for future

reference.

3. Do not smoke or light any re inside your sauna.

4. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow small children to

use the sauna unless they are closely supervised at all

times.

5. Do not use the sauna immediately after hard exercise.

Wait at least 30 minutes to allow your body to cool down

completely.

6. Exercise care when entering or leaving the sauna.

7. Never sleep inside the sauna while the unit is in full

operation.

8. Unplug the sauna from the wall outlet before cleaning.

Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or

aerosol cleansers inside the sauna.

9. Do not use this product near water. For example, near a

bathtub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

10. Do not use attachments that are not recommended by the

manufacturer, as they may cause a hazard.

11. The sauna must be placed under an awning or overhang

to prevent heavy rain falling directly onto the roof or

outdoor cover.

12. Do not stack or store any objects on top of or inside the

sauna.

13. Use precaution when using electronic devices.

14. Do not install aftermarket devices.

2) Medical and health related precautions

1. If you intend to use far infrared therapy for medical reasons,

please consult your physician prior to using the sauna.

2. Excessive temperatures have a high potential for causing

fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy.

Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult their

physician prior to using the sauna.

3. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medications prior to or during

the sauna session may lead to unconsciousness.

4. Persons suering 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.

5. Persons using medications should consult a physician

before using the sauna since some medications may induce

drowsiness while others may aect heart rate, blood

pressure, and circulation.

6. At the rst sign of a cold or u, increasing your sauna

sessions may be benecial in boosting your immune system

and decreasing the reproductive rate of the viruses. Consult

your physician for the proper treatment and care for this,

before you start using your sauna.

7. Hyperthermia Danger

Prolonged exposure to hot air will induce hyperthermia.

Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the

body reaches a level several degrees above the normal

body temperature of 98.6°F/37°C.

While hyperthermia has many health benets, it is important

not to allow your body’s core temperature to rise above

103°F/39,4°C. Symptoms of excessive hyperthermia include

dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting . The eects

of excessive hyperthermia may include failure to perceive

heat, failure to recognize the need to exit, unawareness of

impending hazard, fetal damage in pregnant women,

physical inability to exit the sauna, and unconsciousness.
