It is important when installing the dedicated circuit for your unit not
to include a GFCI (Ground Fault Interuptor) or AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit
Interuptor). These are often installed in household electrical setups as a
means of surge and arc protection, but will mistake the power operation
of our units for these and trip the breaker, disrupting sauna use.
*FOR COMMERCIAL FACILITY: For those models where a dedicated
240V 20A circuit is required, these are not found in common electrical
setups. You may need a transformer to accomodate.

• Unplug the sauna from electrical outlet before storage or when not
in use for expanded periods of time.
• Do not operate the sauna if it’s not on a dedicated electrical circuit,
or has a damaged power cord/plug.
• If the sauna is not working properly or an odor persists, immediately
unplug the sauna.
• Do not leave the sauna unattended while heating for longer than
the sauna’s pre-set time periods.
• Never cover holes or oor grate with towels, mats, garments, etc.
PRE-INSTALLATION
1. Have a certied electrician install a dedicated outlet for sauna.
Failure to do so will void all warranty.
2. Remember your sauna should be assembled by two or more people.
3. Do not place plumbing or plumbing xtures in the sauna.
4. Keep all liquids away from the heating panels and electronics.

SAUNA SETTINGS
SCREEN 16
The Sauna Settings page is selected by tapping Sauna
Settings on the bottom-screen bar and is home to all
of your sauna’s basic information and configuration.
SCREENS 17-18
Your mPulse comes with Wellness Programs pre-programmed
in your Android Control Pad, each one focused on different
benets of use in their conguration:
Detoxication - Starts at a high intensity to increase the body’s
core temperature, then reduces to a lower intensity level. Mid
and far infrared combination improves vascular access ow
to reach toxins at the cellular level.
Weight Loss - Starts at a high-intensity level to stimulate
the cardiovascular system, then reduces to a medium level.
As the body works to cool itself, there is an increase in heart
rate, cardiac output, and metabolic rate, similar to exercise.
Relaxation - Far, mid, and near-infrared combination induces
deep relaxation as it relieves muscle tension at a low,
comfortable intensity promoting overall stress reduction.
Pain Relief - A far and mid-infrared blend provides natural
pain relief by reducing inammation and swelling while
near-infrared penetrates the tissue promoting cellular
repair at a medium, constant intensity level.
Anti-Aging - A low, constant intensity level penetrates tissue
to help with various skin concerns. Near-infrared improves
overall skin tone, elasticity, and firmness, promoting
anti-aging benets.
Cardio - Starts at a high intensity to increase heart rate and
cardiac output, then lowers the intensity to sustain heart rate
level. Circulation increases promoting healthy blood pressure.

WARM-UP TIME &
USAGE GUIDELINES
Our saunas are based on the infrared wavelength and not cabin temperature.
Set to the desired temperature and allow the sauna to warm up for 45-60 minutes.
The sauna heats up at an average of 1 degree per minute. Follow these steps
for proper warm-up:
Step 1: Make sure your sauna is plugged into a dedicated circuit installed
by your electrician.
Step 2: Set to the desired temperature and set time to 60 minutes.
Step 3: When turning sauna on for the rst time, ensure each heater is active
after a couple of minutes. If they are not, make sure connections
are securely paired from their initial wire feed coming from the
power box under the bench.
Step 4: Never fully cover the oor grate and heater with any obstruction
that will not allow the heater to dissipate its heat.
NOTE: If your sauna is outside in an unheated garage, sun room, basement
or patio, you may require additional time to warm the sauna up depending
upon the temperature of the surrounding surface and room. REMEMBER,
you are required to have an authorized Sunlighten cover over your sauna
if it is outside or exposed to the weather in order to maintain your warranty.
TIPS FOR OPTIMAL USE
• Sauna requires a dedicated circuit and outlet for optimal performance.
This should be installed by a certied electrician before assembling.
• Use Sunlighten All Natural Cleaning Kit for periodic cleaning.
• If you have a floor heater, clean every 6 months for residential use,
and every month for commercial use. To clean, remove oor grate and
vacuum out heater area.

SAUNA PROTOCOL
Follow this quick guide for the optimal sauna experience.
PRE SAUNA SESSION
• Hydrate with at least 8 oz. of water to prepare your body for an increase
in core temperature.
• Pre-heat for approx. 45 minutes. Depending on room temperature,
your sauna will heat a degree per minute, before reaching 120 degrees.
Heat time increases at temperatures above 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Use Bamboo Carbon Towels to absorb sweat during sessions.
SAUNA SESSIONS
• Begin your session when your sauna reaches 100°F.
• The optimal sauna experience occurs between 100° and 130°F.
• To get your body accustomed to infrared therapy, start with 10-15 minute
sessions at 100°F every other day.
• If comfortable with current settings, gradually increase towards 40-minute
daily sessions in the optimal temperature range.*
• Don’t be surprised if you don’t sweat during the rst few sessions.
• Sweating will increase with regular use, removing toxins and leaving you
feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
• For added intensity, use Pure Sweat amplifying cream to increase
sweating, circulation, and to boost results.
POST SAUNA SESSION
• Drink at least 24 oz. of water or electrolyte to rehydrate.
• Dry off with Bamboo Carbon Towel. Cool down naturally or with
a refreshing shower.
• Every six months, clean wood and glass with our Natural Sauna Cleaning Kit.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ASSEMBLY
Can I assemble my sauna outdoors?
Yes, if you protect it with a Sunlighten canvas, sauna cover. If you place your sauna outdoors
without a Sunlighten cover, your warranty will be void. The sauna covers are custom made
and may not arrive until after you receive your sauna. Do not install your sauna outdoors
prior to receiving your cover. Doing so will void the warranty! Check the sauna cover
annually for normal wear and replace as needed. Sauna cover manufacturer warranty
is one year.
How much room is required around my sauna for setup
& maintenance?
We recommend 4-12 inches of clearance around the back, sides, and top of the sauna
to access plugs and for general maintenance. Leave at least 4 inches behind the unit to allow
the electronics to cool.
What surfaces can I set my sauna on?
You can set your sauna on tile, concrete, carpet, laminate or wood. Always have your sauna
feet installed. Remember to make sure that your sauna is level regardless of its location
for optimal use. If your sauna is placed outdoors, make sure there is adequate drainage
so that water cannot pool around the base of the sauna. If placed near or on cool surfaces
(like concrete and basement walls), warm-up can be impacted.
How do I install Chromotherapy and Acoustic
Resonance Therapy?
Sauna accessories have separate user manuals. Refer to the appropriate manual:
http://www.sunlighten.com/support/
How do I disassemble if I need to move the sauna?
Refer to assembly sheet and follow the steps in reverse.
USAGE
How long does it take for my sauna to warm up?
The controls are preset to 60 minutes at 158°F. However, the inside cabin temperature
is not intended to reach this. Our saunas are based on the infrared wavelength and not
cabin temperature. Allow the sauna to warm-up for 45-60 minutes. The sauna heats
up at an average of 1 degree per minute. If located outside or in unheated garage,
additional warm-up time may be required. If you prefer the sauna hotter, let it warm-up longer.

20
Can I use my sauna every day?
For most people, daily sauna use is okay after your body has become accustomed to infrared
therapy. Drink increased amounts of water to stay hydrated. Listen to your body and stop
your session if you feel any discomfort.
How long can I use it each day?
40 minutes is the recommended session length. See the sauna protocol on pg. 18.
What is the best temperature to use my sauna?
First, it is important to understand that health benefits are a result of efficient infrared
emissivity, not air temperature. Sunlighten saunas are 95-99% emissive to deliver
the highest concentration of infrared. With that, the optimal sauna experience occurs
between 100-130°F. During your first few sessions, start at a lower temperature
of 100°F and gradually increase in later sessions. Everyone has different preferences
and tolerances for heat. The most important thing is to listen to your body. Keep in mind,
if you’re sweating at 115°F you’re getting the same benets as if sweating at 150°F.
What is the micron range of the heaters?
The design of a SoloCarbon® heater allows for most of the far infrared wavelength to be near
9.4 microns, which is the level at which the human body absorbs infrared energy.
Can I touch the heaters?
No. The heaters will be hot, especially the mid-infrared section in the middle,
so it is not safe to touch heaters while on or an hour after use. Touching the frames
that cover the heaters is safe.
How much will the sauna cost to run a month?
The sauna runs on the same wattage as a blow dryer and will cost little to run monthly:
typically 15 to 35 cents per hour. This varies with the model and local utility cost. Your utility
company can help you understand a more exact per hour cost if needed.
Are the EMF levels safe?
Yes. Patented SoloCarbon panels are 100% quality controlled by Sunlighten to ensure the
safety and effectiveness of each individual heater.
What is the wattage, voltage, and amps of my sauna?
See electrical specifications on page 4.
