Sauna: Discover the spell of relaxation and health

Infrasauna

RUBY & ZORA

Before  rst use of your sauna please read carefully all the instructions includ-

ed in this hand book and observe them.

Installation and use of this electrical equipment requires permanent compli-

ance with the related basic safety measures. Use a power socket for this ap-

pliance powering installed pursuant to applicable technical standards and

provided with a circuit breaker with the corresponding current value and charac-

teristics. It is also recommended to equip the power input with a current protector

with the permitted current not exceeding 30 mA, especially in cases of installation

in bathrooms or other wet rooms.

Do not use your sauna in a close proximity to water, such as close to a bathtub

or on a wet ground or near a pool etc.

The power cable should be laid to prevent stepping on or squeezing be-

tween elements placed on or against it. Assure proper protection of the

power cable, do not lay it straight on the ground, which is dangerous. When

unused, pull the sauna power cable out of the socket and wind it. Disconnect the

power cable by pulling the fork, not the rod. Otherwise the cable or the socket

might get damaged.

Before every star of the sauna check it for signs of damage and presence of

objects inside.

Warning: Do not touch the heating radiators while operating the sauna, their

surface temperature exceeds 70°C and contact with their surface may cause

burns. Do not over the heaters, risk of  re.

In the case of the need for any part replacement, satisfy yourself that the

spares are speci ed by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as

the original parts. Use of unauthorised spare part may cause  re, electrical

shock or another hazard. After repair ask the service technician for safety checks

to assure correct operable condition of the sauna, only then you can use it again.

The equipment is not designed for the use by persons (including children)

with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, unless a supervision and

training by a quali ed person is provided; persons not familiar with the op-

eration in the scope of this manual; persons under the in uence of drugs, intoxicat-

ing substances etc., reducing the capability of quick reaction.

Do not use the sauna immediately after intensive physical exercise. Wait for

at least 30 minutes to permit your body cool down properly.

Risk of overheating. Normal body temperature should not rise above

39°C (103°F). Symptoms of body overheating include vertigo, lethargy,

drowsiness and faintness. Consequences of body overheating may in-

clude inability to perceive heat, physical impossibility to leave the sauna, un-

awareness of the pending risk, loss of conscience and damage to the foetus in

the case of pregnant women. Overheating increases temperature inside your

body, therefore high sauna temperature setting is not recommended.

Use of alcohol, narcotics or certain drugs before or during use of the sauna

may lead to loss of conscience.

Never fall asleep inside a working sauna.

Do not use steam cleaners, pressure cleaners or water sprays for cleaning

your sauna. Use cleaners speci ed for this use.

Do not place any objects on the top or inside walls of your sauna. Do not

take in pets and metal objects into the sauna. Sauna is not designed for

laundry drying.

If the power cable is damaged have it replaced immediately by the man-

ufacturer, its representative or another quali ed electrician. if the power

cable is found to be too hot there may be a problem in the electrical

equipment, ask the manufacturer or its representative for a check if you  nd

this to prevent hazard.

Do not use sauna during storm to prevent electrical shock.

Do not switch on and o the power and the heating system to prevent damage

to the electrical equipment.

Place the cable in the socket or pull it out of the socket with dry hands only.

Never touch the cable with wet hands or feet, risk of electrical shock. Do not

touch the metal outlet parts or the power cable fork with your  ngers.

Do not use your sauna if the power cable or the sauna itself is damaged or

operates incorrectly. Do not attempt at any repair yourself, in the case of a

problem contact your dealer or the manufacturer to prevent violation of the

applicable safety principles. Unauthorised intervention may invalidate manufac-

turer´s warranty.

Make sure the socket for sauna connection to the mains possesses su cient

parameters for the sauna operation, in the case of too low power input the

socket may get overheated and cause  re.

In the case of some sauna models with roof lights the light temperature after

switching on the sauna and the lights is high. Do not touch the light to prevent

skin burns. Do not touch the lights for 20 minutes after the heating stop.

Do not pour water or other liquids onto the infra red heating units another

electrical equipment and avoid hitting them with hard objects to prevent

short circuit,  re or power cut.

It is recommended not to use sauna in 24 hours from exposure to UV ra-

diation from arti cial sources or sun bath.

Prescription drugs: ask your doctor or pharmacist about potential inter-

action of the sauna with your medication. Some drugs, such as diuretics,

antihistamines, beta blockers and barbiturates may negatively a ect the natu-

ral heat regulating property of human body. This category includes both pre-

scription and some over-the-counter drugs.

Heart diseases: infra red therapy is not recommended to patients with

some heart diseases including hypertension or hypotension, chronic

heart failure or problems with coronary circulation. If you su er from any of

the above mentioned diseases, long exposure to increased temperatures may

be dangerous for direct e ects of the heat include increased heartbeat by about

10 pulses per minute (in some cases by up to 30 pulses per minute) per one

degree of raise body temperature. This contraindication also applies to pa-

tients taking drugs for their blood pressure control or using pacemaker - some

infra red saunas may contain magnets that may a ect pacemaker operation.

Children and seniors are the two age groups for which sauna use should

 rst be consulted with a doctor. Although sauna use is generally safe and

healthy for both these age groups, body temperature rises much quicker in

children than in adults and their thermal regulation property by sweating is

not as developed as in the case of adults. Similarly the ability to keep the opti-

mum body temperature and the function of the sweat glands is reduced with

increasing age and that is why both these age groups require caution and con-

sultation with a doctor before use of infra red therapy.

Joint issues: acute joint injury should not be heated in the course of the

 rst 48 hours or until the associated reddening or swell disappears.

Chronic joint swells may not react positively to sauna use.

Pregnancy: infra red sauna use during (suspected) pregnancy is not rec-

ommended. Increased body temperature may increase temperature of the

amniotic  uid which in extreme cases may lead to damage to the foetus or in-

digenous defect development. Pregnant women may develop body overheating

leading to loss of conscience more easily. The heart and the vascular system

increase their performance in the case of pregnancy even under normal ambi-

ent conditions to be able to feed the developing foetus, and body overheating

further increases the demand for the heart and the vascular system. This re-

duces bloodstream to the internal anatomies including the heart and may lead

to loss of conscience.

Certain other diseases: increased body temperature may not be suitable

for individuals with multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematodes,

diabetic neuropathy, Parkinson disease, tumours of the central nerve system or

adrenalin insu ciency (for example in the case of Addison disease). People

su ering from haemophilia or bleeding episodes should also avoid sauna use

for heat widens the blood vessels.

Sauna is further not recommended to people su ering from fever or sen-

sitive to heat. Metal screws, joint replacements and other implants usu-

ally re ect long-wave infra red radiation and therefore do not heat up. On the

other hand, silicon implants absorb infra red radiation and may heat together

with the surrounding tissue, but as silicon melts at temperatures over 200°C,

infra red light should not have any negative e ect on therm. However, every

patient with an implant should consult sauna use with their surgeon. Like in

the case of massage sauna use is not recommended in the case of any infectious

disease, under the e ect of alcohol or narcotics. And like in the case of any

other similar activity: If you feel discomfort inside your sauna, or even pain or

worsening of your health state, leave the sauna immediately.

In the case of any health problems always consult sau-

na use with your attending physician!

Caution: If your skin reddening persists for more than

one day after sauna use, do not repeat sauna therapy

and consult your doctor.
