󱛻󱛼󱛽WARNING
DISCONNECT THE SAUNA FROM THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY
BEFORE CHANGING ANY PARTS OR CARRYING OUT A SERVICE.
All growth depends on sunlight. But 40% of the ultraviolet and the high energy rays of
the sun are harmful to the human body; the remaining 60% of the sun’s energy is
beneficial, comprising infrared rays.
Our infrared sauna uses these invisible (5.6-15μm) infrared rays to increase cell tissue
resonance, accelerate blood circulation and improve organic functions.
Infrared sauna therapy is becoming increasingly popular and accepted across the
medical profession, with more studies now supporting the science behind this exciting
new technology.
An infrared sauna can help relieve pain and improve wound healing and recovery by
increasing blood circulation. The increased metabolic rate experienced in an infrared
sauna actually burns calories as the body works to sweat. This aids fat burning,
improves cardiac fitness, strengthens the heart, helps eliminate toxins and improves
cellulite and general skin tone. A 30-minute session in an infrared sauna burns the
same calories as a 10-kilometer run.
The quality stereo system fitted in our saunas aids relaxation with sound therapy and
helps relieve stress.

Pre-assembly notes
 Two Persons are recommended for safe assembly.
 Please pay attention to the following before installation.
 Position the sauna on a flat and level surface.
 DO NOT splash the exterior with water. If the floor is damp, install a floor separator to keep
the sauna dry.
 DO NOT store any flammable objects or chemical substances near the sauna.
 The example shown in these instructions is the model FIR-001 (1-person Classic). Other
models vary in design but the procedure remains the same. For diagrams of the 4 and 4-6
person models, please refer to the following 2 pages.

Using the spacer
 To connect the wall sections together easily, use the wooden spacer (refer to images below)
to bring the ‘male’ and ‘female’ connector pins into alignment.
 When connecting the side panels to the back panel, ensure that one assembler holds the
back panel in place while the other assembler places the spacer on the edge of the floor
section before placing the side wall on top of the spacer. This will raise the height of the
male pins in the side wall to the same height as the female pins in the back without the need
for lifting.
 Once the pins are pushed together and secure, remove the spacer from under the wall
section. The wall panel will drop and lock into place.
 Check that both the top and bottom pins are fully connected before moving onto the next
section.
