CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
POSITIONING OF IR PANEL
Mount your IR panel that is well position to the object that it will be heated. A proper
positioning will avoid the “shadow effect”. Shadow effect means that the object is partially
hit by the IR waves. This will cause heat inefficiency that leads to increase of power
consumption and less enjoyable heat of the sauna. Follow illustration below or refer to your
IR sauna room manual.
• The IR panel surface is fiber coated which makes it safe to
touch. Never use wet cloth or wash the IR panel. Make sure
to unplug the IR sauna room before cleaning. You may wipe
a dry cloth or use a paint brush to remove dirt from the IR
panel.
• In case if the wooden frame has dirt or discolor, you may
use a fine sandpaper to scrub the frame. Be careful not to
sand the IR panel surface to avoid damage.
• In case you find abnormalities on the IR panel function,
unplug the IR sauna room right away. Contact your dealer for
assistance. Never attempt to repair the IR panel. Alteration
of the original product will void the warranty.
• Disconnect the IR sauna room from the power source before
making any maintenance or cleaning.

USING OF IR SAUNA
When using the IR sauna room for the first time, check
thoroughly the inside of the IR sauna room for unnecessary
objects. Switch the IR sauna room ON and leave the door
open for about an hour. This is to heat up the room and
remove any fumes or odor.
It is best to take a shower before and after the sauna. This
is to neutralize your body temperature before and after
heating inside the sauna.
IR sauna does not require preheating time so as soon as you
switch on the control, you are ready to take that soft heat
from IR panels.
Public infrared cabins that do not have a timer must have a
light indicator showing that the infrared emitter is switched
on. It is recommended to install it in the attendant’s room.
For commercial use: IR sauna room must be continiously
attended when used. Inspect the IR sauna room from any
unnecessary objects before using.
