How to Use Infrared Sauna:
Avoid eating large meals and excessive alcohol intake before using Sauna.
Never smoke or drink alcohol or exercise inside of Sauna.
If you are taking any medications or under the care of a Physician, consult with them prior to Sauna usage.
Refer to Sauna Usage Warning signs located inside of Sauna Room
Prior to Sauna session, if possible before using Sauna, take a warm shower without drying.
Clothing is optional or wear loose fitting clothes. You may choose to sit or lie on a clean soft towel.
Set desired time & temperature.
The Sauna is producing the correct wavelengths to be absorbed into the body within 10-15 minutes of
operation. It is not necessary to wait unit the sauna is at maximum temperature, the absorption of the
wavelength is the same whether the room in heat up or at set temperature.
Enter Sauna and relax, you may choose to enjoy music. Refer to the above Color Therapy System
instructions.
Sit or lie on bench. Close the door and open the interior ceiling vent allowing for fresh air circulation.
Remain in the Sauna long enough to warm up and stimulate a mild perspiration. Typically that may occur in
10 –15 minutes. This varies with every individual and their comfort level. Do not over do it!
Drink plenty of cool water or a refreshing healthy drink while using the sauna.
Leave the Sauna and cool down. Shower or bathe if possible to cool down and cleanse the skin.
Cool down period usually is the same length of time as the Sauna session.
Then reenter the Sauna for another 10-15 minute session.
Continue this process of alternating using the Sauna and Cooling Down for 3 to 4 cycles.
Length of time in the Sauna and cool off period varies and depends on the individual.
After final Sauna session and upon leaving the Sauna turn the Sauna off the timer if it is still operating.
Open the door and clean the Sauna walls, bench and floor areas with a soft clean damp cloth.
Enjoy a final shower or bath to cool down. Relax, in the special “after sauna glow” and you may choose to
enjoy a healthy snack and cool drink.

is normally sufficient. Light sanding is another option for cleaning interior surfaces.
