Preparing the facial sauna for use
• Unwind the cable from the cable winder 0and
guide it through the recess on the underside of
the heating unit 9.
• Place the heating unit 9on a level, non-slip and
water resistant surface.
• Using the measuring cup qfill the water bowl 6
with water. Orientate yourself with the scale on
the measuring cup qfor how long you wish to use
the appliance (approx. 5, approx.10 or approx.
15 minutes). Use the scale that is appropriate to
the respective steam setting (Hi or Lo).
Warning!
NEVER fill the water bowl 6with a water volume that
exceeds the “Hi 15 min.” marking ( in the measuring
cup q). Otherwise, the water could overflow and
then permeate into the interior of the appliance.
This could damage the appliance irreparably!
• Place the steam controller 4on the water bowl 6
so that the handle 5points to the front.
• Position the face mask 1on the heating unit 9:
The lugs on the underside of the face mask 1must
grasp in the recesses on the steam controller 4/
the heating unit 9. Then turn the face mask 1
clockwise so that it sits firmly on the heating unit 9.
• Insert the plug into a power socket.
The Facial Sauna is now ready for use.
Utilisation
Attention!
This facial sauna may not be used if you suffer from
one of the following ailments:
• with acarodermatitis
• with erythrodermia
• with swellings in the facial area
• with heart illnesses
• with diabetes
• wounds in the facial area
• with eczema
• with psoriasis
Should you be pregnant or have other health issues,
consult your doctor before using the appliance.

admirably for further treatments, for example deep
cleansing, moisture provision, face masks etc. The
steam invigorates the skin, opens the pores and
impurities can be better removed.

Operation
Prepare the facial sauna as described under
“Preparing the facial sauna for use”.
• Press once on the LO/HI/OFF button 8. The
control lamp 7glows green (low steam level
"LO"). The water in the water bowl 6is heated
just sufficiently to produce a small amount of steam.
For more steam, press on the LO/HI/OFF button 8
once more. The control lamp 7glows red (high
steam level "HI"). The water is heated more strongly
and so produces more steam.
• Hold your face over the face mask 1. Close
your eyes and relax.
Attention!
Should you feel uncomfortable or perceive the
steam as unpleasant, either hold your face a little
further away from the face mask 1or reduce the
volume of steam. Should the feeling of discomfort
continue, terminate the utilisation.
• You can additionally regulate the steam volume
as follows:
Slide the handle 5of the steam regulator 4to
the right (in the direction MAX) to increase the
steam volume. Slide the handle 5of the steam
regulator 4to the left (in the direction MIN) to
decrease the steam volume.
• When the water in the water bowl 6has eva-
porated, the appliance switches itself off auto-
matically. If you wish to switch the appliance off
prematurely, press the LO/HI/OFF button 8repe-
atedly until the control lamp 7extinguishes.
Note:
After 30 minutes the appliance switches itself off
automatically, even if there is still water in the water
bowl 6.
Using aroma and herb containers
You can enrich the steam with various herbs and
aromas. This can contribute to both relaxation and
the treatment of the skin.
Important:
Only those types of herbs and aromas can be em-
ployed that are intended and suitable for use in a
facial sauna.
Before connecting the face mask 1with the heating
unit 9:
• Press both locking devices on the lid 2of the aro-
ma and herb container 3together and take
from it the aroma and herb container 3.
• Place either the herbs or a cotton wool ball
sprinkled with aroma-essence into the aroma
and herb container 3.
• Press both locking devices on the lid 2of the aro-
ma and herb container 3together and replace
it on the aroma and herb container 3. Release
the locking devices so that the lid 2sits firmly.
• Now assemble the face mask 1on the heating
unit 9as described under “Preparing the facial
sauna for use”.
The rising steam will now be directed through the
aroma and herb container 3and thus takes on the
fragrance.
