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 is 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.

Additional Usage Warnings Located Inside Sauna Room
Maintenance / General Cleaning
Tips: DO NOT USE: Alcohol or any strong Cleaning Chemicals
Note: Some chemicals can damage clear finish and wood surfaces.
Interior: Perspiration and dirt may absorb into the wood, so periodic cleaning is needed,
scrubbing benches, back supports, floor boards and walls with a stiff brush and mild detergent
is normally sufficient. Light sanding is another option for cleaning interior surfaces.
Exterior: Use a damp cloth of a mild soap mixed with warm water.
Trouble Shooting Tips:
a. Main Control Touch Pad Lights Not Lit:
Ensure electrical connections between ceiling and back and the ceiling and front wall
Ensure power cord is plugged in to the proper power receptacle and dedicated circuit breaker
Ensure main circuit breaker (house) is not tripped (power is found at the receptacle)
Ensure the room main controller circuit breaker (under the bench) is not tripped and is ON
b. Room not heating:

Ensure main circuit breaker (house) is not tripped (power is found at the receptacle)
Ensure the room main controller circuit breaker (under the bench) is not tripped and is ON
Ensure room desired temperature is greater than room actual temperature (controller
demands heat)
Ensure that there is no time in the Delay Start timer if you do want to delay the start
c. Door rubbing or binding:
Ensure that the room is assembled properly; walls and ceiling should all be interlocked.
Ensure the floor is flat by using a level on the ceiling of the room. It may be necessary to use a
small door or window shim to adjust the level under the floor.
