The pictures show in this handbook need not always correspond to the
particular embodiment; their purpose of to assist better understanding of the
textual instruction.
The manufacturer and the supplier reserve the right for product changes
without the obligation to update this Instruction for Installation and Use.
1. Before first use of your sauna please read carefully all the instructions included in this
hand book and observe them.
2. Installation and use of this electrical equipment requires permanent compliance with the
related basic safety measures. Use a power socket for this appliance powering installed
pursuant to applicable technical standards and provided with a circuit breaker with the
corresponding current value and characteristics. 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.
3. 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.
4. The power cable should be laid to prevent stepping on or squeezing between 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.
5 Before every star of the sauna check it for signs of damage and presence of objects
inside.
6. 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 fire.
7. In the case of the need for any part replacement, satisfy yourself that the spares are
specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original parts. Use
of unauthorised spare part may cause fire, 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.
8. 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 qualified
SAFETY INFORMATION

person is provided; persons not familiar with the operation in the scope of this manual;
persons under the influence of drugs, intoxicating substances etc., reducing the
capability of quick reaction.
9. Do not use the sauna immediately after intensive physical exercise. Wait for at least 30
minutes to permit your body cool down properly.
10. 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 include inability to perceive heat, physical
impossibility to leave the sauna, unawareness 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.
11. Use of alcohol, narcotics or certain drugs before or during use of the sauna may lead to
loss of conscience.
12. Never fall asleep inside a working sauna.
13. Do not use steam cleaners, pressure cleaners or water sprays for cleaning your sauna.
Use cleaners specified for this use.
14. 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.
15. If the power cable is damaged have it replaced immediately by the manufacturer, its
representative or another qualified 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 find this to prevent hazard.
16. Do not use sauna during storm to prevent electrical shock.
17. Do not switch on and off the power and the heating system to prevent damage to the
electrical equipment.
18. 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 fingers.
19. 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 manufacturer´s warranty.
20. Make sure the socket for sauna connection to the mains possesses sufficient
parameters for the sauna operation, in the case of too low power input the socket may
get overheated and cause fire.
21. 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.

22. 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, fire or power
cut.
WHEN NOT TO USE SAUNA
– It is recommended not to use sauna in 24 hours from exposure to UV radiation from
artificial sources or sun bath.
– Prescription drugs: ask your doctor or pharmacist about potential interaction of the sauna
with your medication. Some drugs, such as diuretics, antihistamines, beta blockers and
barbiturates may negatively affect the natural heat regulating property of human body.
This category includes both prescription 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 suffer from any of the above mentioned diseases, long
exposure to increased temperatures may be dangerous for direct effects 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 patients taking drugs for their blood pressure control or using pacemaker -
some infra red saunas may contain magnets that may affect pacemaker operation.
– Children and seniors are the two age groups for which sauna use should first 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 optimum 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 consultation with a doctor before use of infra red therapy.
– Joint issues: acute joint injury should not be heated in the course of the first 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 recommended.
Increased body temperature may increase temperature of the amniotic fluid which in
extreme cases may lead to damage to the foetus or indigenous 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 ambient conditions to be able to feed the developing
foetus, and body overheating further increases the demand for the heart and the

5
vascular system. This reduces 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 insufficiency (for example in
the case of Addison disease). People suffering from haemophilia or bleeding episodes
should also avoid sauna use for heat widens the blood vessels.
Sauna is further not recommended to people suffering from fever or sensitive to heat. Metal
screws, joint replacements and other implants usually reflect 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 effect 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
effect 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 sauna 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.

Read the instruction for use carefully before assembly. The sauna assembly requires two adult
persons
Note: Read all instructions carefully before starting the assembly and remember to observe all
applicable basic safety measures.
Find the right place for the sauna installation first:
1) Sauna should be placed in a tempered space with low air humidity. Avoid sauna installation in
wet spaces with poor ventilation (air circulation). sauna heating leads to humidity condensation
in wet areas which may shorten life especially of electrical equipment of the sauna in the case
of long-term use.
2) Sauna is recommended to be installed in a space with ambient temperature of at least 15°C.
Ambient temperature directly affects inside temperature of the sauna. In the case of sauna
installation in a cold room its inside temperature will never reach the specified maximum values.
3) Sauna must be installed on even ground. The sauna base must be flat and firm and its load-
bearing capacity must suit the weight of the sauna and the persons inside it. Uneven base must
be levelled.
4) The sauna location must be within a safe distance from any running water source (bath tub,
shower, wash basin, kitchen sink etc.).
5) Close to the sauna location, i.e. Within its power cable reach, there must be an electrical inlet
socket 230V/50Hz with sufficient current protection corresponding to the sauna power input -
see the sauna production plate. 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.
6) The power cable must be easily accessible for quick disconnection from power in case of need.

WHAT IS INFRA RED RADIATION (IR)
Infra red radiation is electromagnetic wave between the visible light and microwave wavelengths.
This radiation is similar to sun rays heating our skin by direct IR radiation even in cold days. 95 %
of the carbon fibre energy is transformed to long-wave IR waves with wavelength between 5 and
17 microns. The sun generates long-wave infra red waves with the wavelength of 9.4 microns.

FRA RED RADIATION IS SAFE Infra red radiation is vital for nearly all forms of life on our planet.
In addition to heating our bodies they can also improve health condition of the body on the
cellular level. This technology is safe enough to be used for years in delivery rooms of maternity
hospitals where it helps the newborns reach the desired body temperature.
THIS IS NOT THERMAL CHAMBER When people hear the word “sauna” they usually imagine
a steam sauna where high temperature and humidity try to force human body to sweat.
Steam sauna is similar to conventional stove which boils meals by heating them to extreme
temperatures. On the other hand, the infra red sauna rather reminds of a microwave oven
generating energy to heat the meal and excite water molecules inside the meal to initiate its
cooling. Infra red sauna generates energy heating your body and causing the desired reactions
without the need for extreme (and uncomfortable) temperatures inside the cabin. Thanks to the
action of infra red rays on the human body sweating inside the infra red sauna starts at much
lower temperatures than in the steam sauna.
WHAT HAPPENS INSIDE You will feel the heat generated by the infra red radiators immediately.
The wavelength of this heat lets the rays penetrate your skin and heat your body under its
surface. That causes excitation of water molecules in the subcutaneous fat layers causing
sweating. Most people tend to start sweating after ca 20 minutes. This time may shorten with
more frequent sauna use.
The sweat cause detoxication of the body for the toxic substances excreted by your body from
the bloodstream and stored in the fat tissue can get to the skin surface with the sweat. Direct
heat also causes widening of your blood vessels (with increased circulation) and acceleration of
your breathing and heart frequency. Your body will also burn calories by producing sweat. It is
recommended to drink water before, during and after sauna use to prevent body dehydration.
Pay attention to what you take with you to your infra red sauna. Some metals absorb infra red
radiation and may reach extreme temperature during your stay in the sauna.

20
HOW TO USE INFRASAUNA
1. You can best use the potential of the infra red therapy when setting the temperature to the top
value.Thus your body will use the full potential of the infra red radiation during your stay in the
sauna cabin. If you set the temperature to a lower value the heaters will switch off and on to
keep the set temperature. As direct action of the infra red rays is much more effective than
the high temperature itself in some cases you may deprive yourself of part of the therapeutic
effect of your sauna for some periods of your stay in the cabin. Instead reduction of the set
temperature you can regulate the heat inside the sauna by the movable roof ventilation or by
letting the door ajar.
2. Take a shower and dry your body profoundly before entering the sauna cabin.
3. Do not use the sauna immediately after intensive physical exercise. Wait for at least 15 minutes
to permit your body cool down properly.
4. Use at least 2-3 towels. Sit on one of the towels folded several times to make a good bottom
padding. Place another towel on the floor for sweat absorption and place the third towel on
your knees to wipe the sweat. Thus you will support more sweating.
5. Take a face cloth with you to wipe your face when you start sweating. A rough face cloth will
remove dead face complexion cells and your complexion will be rejuvenated and smoothed.
You can do the same on the other parts of your body with a towel, a brush or peeling salt.
6. Morning after bedtime is the best time for sauna if you can get up 30 minutes earlier. When
you get up, take a few stretching exercises, sweat out in your infra sauna, take a shower and
drink a couple of glasses of fresh water. You cannot find a better source of energy for the
day. If you have problems with falling asleep use your sauna in the evening. The peace and
relaxation inside your sauna will help you fall asleep.
7. The best position in the sauna is seating, not lying. The heaters are placed to provide
maximum benefit to a seated person with straight back and feet on the bench level.
8. The temperature inside the infra sauna on your entry is irrelevant. You will start sweating after
15 minutes anyway. For that reason you need not wait for the sauna to be fully heated up. The
best way is to enter when the sauna starts heating and heat your body together with the sauna
cabin.
9. It is not recommended to take a shower immediately after exiting the sauna cabin. As your
body heated in the cabin you will continue sweating for some time after switching off the
haters, even after leaving the sauna. Sit down in the sauna with the cabin door open and let
your body sweat to cool. When you feel pleasant take a lukewarm (not cold) shower to wash
the sweat off your body. It is not recommended to use soap after sauna for your pores will be
open and the soap might obstruct them.
10. It is important to replenish liquids sweated out of your body during your sauna stay. Fresh
water is the ideal drink which will not return to the body the calories burnt by sweating.
11. After leaving the sauna remove water and sweat from the cabin inside with a wet cloth (see
the following chapter TAKING CARE OF YOUR SAUNA) and leave the door open to ventilate
the cabin inside.
