SAFETY
Sunlighten has quality control measures in place at every step of the production
process to ensure you have the best product possible. We subject our designs to
rigorous health and safety inspections, including third-party tests and certications.
Every element of a Sunlighten sauna is designed with quality and safety in mind.
Solocarbon® heaters are the most eective—and the safest—infrared heaters on
the market. Sunlighten saunas have met the strictest safety standards for more than
a decade. Our patented heater design has a 95% emissivity rating and cancels out
EMF to levels that are virtually undetectable. Solocarbon heaters contain a proprietary
blend of FDA-approved materials and are heat-sealed to withstand temperatures
above and beyond the operating temperature to ensure no unhealthy gases are
released during heating. Plus, extensive third-party testing has been conducted to
ensure all of our materials are safe and non-toxic.
The Solo System® has been thoroughly tested and granted an acceptance label by an
internationally recognized testing facility. All temperature and timing control circuits
have been designed and engineered to meet the highest standards, with safety
being a demanded requirement. The Solo System® is UL/CUL certied, and meets or
exceeds electrical safety standards of the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and
the EU.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The Solo System® has been designed for easy assembly. It can be set up and ready to
use in minutes and easily disassembled and stowed away when not in use.
The Solo System® should be set up and used on the oor. You may desire to locate
a oor location that aords a degree of privacy. If you prefer to use on an elevated
surface, only use a surface that can support the weight of yourself and the weight of
the Solo System® (76.9lbs./34.9Kg) such as a massage table or bed.
Open the box and remove all of the contents. Identify each component of the
Solo®.
Read each and every page of this Manual. It is especially important that the
Health & Safety Statements be read and fully understood. The Solo System®
performs the same whether used in your home or in a professional medical facility.
Please check with your personal physician if you don’t understand something in the
precaution statements.
Verify that an electrical outlet of proper voltage (varies by country) is available at the
location to be used. Position the Solopad® (if purchased).
Place a tted Solopad Bamboo Carbon cover (sold separately) over the entire
length of the Solopad® or directly on the oor. Smooth out the towel making sure
that wrinkles are removed.
Place the pillow into position at the top of the Solopad®.

INSTRUCTIONS
The Solo® is a professional piece of equipment that is designed to be a personal
sauna.
Read and fully understand the Disclaimers and Health & Safety information within
this manual. If, for any reason, you feel nausea, dizziness, or other discomforts or do
not feel in control while using the Solo®, immediately turn it o at the control box.
Keep control box within reach when using the Solo®. Do not use near water. Always
use a grounded electrical receptacle.
Infrared waves are most eective when they can contact bare skin. Considering this, it
is best to get undressed before using the Solo System®.
USAGE
Sunlighten™ recommends working up to a 40 minute session once a day. If a longer
session is desired please contact your physician.
Set the temperature setting on the Control Box. For your rst session the Solo®
should not be set at a temperature setting higher than ve (5). Warm-up time will be
from ve to ten minutes, depending on temperature Setting.
Time may be set for up to 12 hours at 1 hours intervals. It can also be set for up to 60
minutes at 5 minute intervals at the highest setting
Temperature range is from 45-65 degrees Celsius (113-149 degrees Fahrenheit) and
may be set at 3 levels: High, Medium, and Low.

7
Set the timer on the Control Box. The maximum time that the Solo®can be set for is
sixty (60) minutes.
It is now time to enter the Solo®. Slide the Upper Dome back so that it is resting on
top of the Lower Dome. Sit on the towel covering the Solopad®and gently pull the
Upper Dome back and over your body by gripping the frontal trim as you lie down.
Touching the Solo®heating surface will feel HOT to the touch but will NOT BURN the
skin.
Position your head on the pillow so that you are comfortable. The pillow should be
positioned outside of the Solo®domes. Close the drop curtain to retain the heat within
the Solo®. It is now time to relax and enjoy the soothing heat of the Solo®. Do not
have your head inside the Solo®for prolonged periods. Remove immediately if feeling
faint or dizzy.
When the session is over, the timer will beep and the Solo®will automatically shut o.
Push back the upper dome and exit the Solo®.
The Solo System®will cause you to sweat profusely. Taking a shower after each
session will remove the perspiration from your skin and add to the cleansing
feeling that is felt when using the Solo®. Towel drying with a fresh clean towel will
be just as eective if no showering facilities are available.
At the end of use, remove all towels from inside the Solo®. Fully extend the domes
and let them cool down. Do not collapse the two domes until after they are
completely cool.
After use, the Solopad®and pillow should be wiped down using Sunlighten Natural
Sauna Cleaner. Use a clean towel to dry all surfaces.
Fresh towels should always be used when you are enjoying your sessions in the Solo®.

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. 30 minutes. Depending on room temperature, your
sauna will heat up a degree per minute.
• 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.
• 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
POST SAUNA SESSION
• Drink at least 24 oz. of water or electrolyte to rehydrate.
• Dry o 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. Available at www.sunlighten.com/shop.
*Listen to your body. Be aware of excessive detoxifying. If you begin to feel symptoms such as nausea,
fatigue, or u-like symptoms during your sauna session, discontinue use immediately. If these
symptoms continue, consult your physician.

The sauna puts out a micron range of 4 - 20 microns.
What is the best temperature to use my sauna?
We recommend starting at a lower temperature of 100º F and increasing
temperature gradually in later sessions, if you still feel comfortable. Everyone
has dierent preferences and tolerances for heat. The most important thing is to
listen to your body.
What is the heater made of?
The heater is made of organic black carbon that is rst cut into pliable sheets.
Then electrical heater wiring is added.
How much will the sauna cost me to run a month?
The sauna runs on the same wattage as a blow dryer and will cost very little to
run monthly.
Can I use the sauna everyday?
Yes. We suggest drinking increased amounts of water to keep yourself hydrated. As
long as you feel ne, use the sauna daily and enjoy.
If I do use it everyday, what else do I have to do?
Just drink plenty of uids to replace the ones you will be loosing with everyday usage.
If you like, take a warm shower to help accelerate the sweat glands opening to be even
more refreshed afterward.
Are the EMF levels safe?
Yes. Solocarbon® panels are 100% quality controlled by Sunlighten™ to ensure the safety
& eectiveness of each individual heater. Our proprietary heater design virtually eliminates
EMF (an average of less than 3mg) and steel conduit electrical shielding making your
sauna as safe as possible.

14
How long does it take for my sauna to warm up?
Set the temperature controls to 60 minutes and 150° F. Allow the sauna to warm up for 15 - 20
minutes at which time it should be approximately 100° F. If placed outside, the sauna may
require additional time to warm up, depending upon weather conditions. If you prefer the
sauna hotter, let it warm up longer. Drink plenty of water, at least 8 oz.

HEALTH & SAFETY
Our infrared saunas operate with the same ecacy in your home as in a medical
facility. Like all professional equipment, you may put yourself at risk if you do not fully
understand how to use the sauna. Infrared sauna use as creating a cure for or treating
any disease is neither implied nor should be inferred. Drinking an electrolyte-replacing
water or a sports drink is strongly recommended before and after use.
Important Safeguards
- Never sleep inside the sauna while it is on
- Do not use harsh cleaning agents on the interior of the sauna
- Do not stack or store objects on top of or inside the sauna
- Do not use during an electrical storm, as there is a remote risk of shock
- Altering or tampering with any electrical connections on the power supply is
dangerous and will void the warranty
- Do not attempt a repair without consulting Sunlighten rst. Unauthorized repair
attempts will void the warranty
Precautions
If any of the below apply to you, consult your physician prior to sauna use:
-Medications - Individuals who are using prescription drugs should seek the advice
of their personal physician since some medications may induce drowsiness,
while others may aect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation. Diuretics,
barbiturates and beta-blockers may impair the body’s natural heat loss mechanisms.
Anticholinergics such as amitryptaline may inhibit sweating and can predispose
individuals to heat rash or to a lesser extent, heat stroke. Some over-the-counter
drugs, such as antihistamines, may also cause the body to be more prone to heat
stroke.
-Chronic Conditions / Diseases Associated With Reduced Ability To Sweat Or
Perspire - Multiple Sclerosis, Central Nervous System Tumors and Diabetes with
Neuropathy are conditions that are associated with impaired sweating. Consult a
physician.
-Cardiovascular Issues, Obesity or Diabetes - Individuals suering from obesity or
with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory
problems or diabetes should consult a physician prior to use. Heat stress increases

16
cardiac output and blood ow in an eort to transfer internal body heat to the
outside environment via the skin (perspiration) and respiratory system. This takes
place primarily due to major changes in the heart rate, which has the potential
to increase by thirty (30) beats per minute for each degree increase in core body
temperature.
-Alcohol & Drug Abuse - Contrary to popular belief, it is not advisable to attempt
to “sweat out” a hangover. Alcohol intoxication decreases a person’s judgment;
therefore, he/she may not realize when the body has a negative reaction to high
heat. Alcohol also increases the heart rate, which may be further increased by heat
stress. The use of alcohol, drugs or medications prior to a sauna session may lead to
unconsciousness.
-Elderly - The ability to maintain core body temperature decreases with age. This is
primarily due to circulatory conditions and decreased sweat gland function. The
body must be able to activate its natural cooling processes in order to maintain core
body temperature. If elderly, operate at a lower temperature and for no more than
15 minutes at a time.
-Children - The core body temperature of children rises much faster than adults. This
occurs due to a higher metabolic rate per body mass, limited circulatory adaptation
to increased cardiac demands and the inability to regulate body temperature by
sweating. When using with a child, operate at a lower temperature and for no more
than 15 minutes at a time.
-Hemophiliacs / Individuals Prone To Bleeding - The use of infrared saunas should be
avoided by anyone who is predisposed to bleeding.
-Fever & Insensitivity to Heat - Individuals with insensitivity to heat or who have a
fever should not use the sauna until the fever subsides.
- Pregnancy - Pregnant women should consult a physician before using an infrared
sauna.
-Menstruation - Heating of the low back area of women during the menstrual period
may temporarily increase menstrual ow. This should not preclude sauna use.

17
-Joint Injury - Recent (acute) joint injury should not be heated for the rst 48 hours or
until the swollen symptoms subside. Joints that are chronically hot and swollen may
respond poorly to vigorous heating of any kind.
-Implants - Metal pins, rods, articial joints or any other surgical implants generally
reect infrared waves and thus are not heated by this system. Nevertheless, you
should consult your physician prior to using.
-Inability to t into sauna: this is a single person sauna. It is semi-circular in shape and
one lies down inside of it. (Dimensions: 5’9”long, 28”wide and 18” high or 175cm
long, 71 cm wide and 45 cm high.)
-Communicable skin diseases – warts, scabies ext. Even though the warm-up time
of the sauna - before the subject enters - is said to desiccate bacteria and thereby
sterilize the sauna, we would ask that if any potential participants who have any
communicable skin diseases, refrain from using this sauna.
-Unstable angina, recent myocardial infarction (30 days) and severe aortic stenosis.
IN THE RARE EVENT THAT YOU EXPERIENCE PAIN OR
DISCOMFORT, IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE SAUNA USE.
