SAUNA LOCATION
The TheraSauna® should be installed only inside a home or other enclosed structure
with a flat leveled floor and a 20 Amp dedicated outlet in close proximity. Saunas
must be directly plugged into outlets, no extension cords should be used. Select a
location that will be convenient for you and will provide you with maximum
accessibility. Outside placement will void the warranty.
Warning!
This unit is manufactured for indoor use only. No water should come in contact with
the TheraMittersTM (heaters). Failure to limit use to the indoors and/or water contact
on the TheraMittersTM of the unit will void the warranty.
Always consult a physician before beginning a sauna program.
Drinking water while using the TheraSauna® is encouraged to help with
detoxification.
WARNING: For your own safety … prolonged use in temperatures that are warmer
than normal body temperature can result in a dangerous condition known as
HYPERTHERMIA. The causes, symptoms, and effects of hyperthermia are described
as follows:
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several
degrees above the normal temperature of 98.6°F (37°C). The symptoms of
hyperthermia include an increase in the internal temperature of the body, dizziness,
lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting.
The effects of hyperthermia include:
(1) Failure to perceive heat
(2) Failure to recognize the need to exit the sauna
(3) Unawareness of impending hazard
(4) Fetal damage in pregnant women
(5) Physical inability to exit the sauna
(6) Unconsciousness
WARNING – the use of alcohol, drugs, or medication is capable of greatly increasing
the risk of fatal hyperthermia.
See the following website for some doctor’s protocols: www.lifestylelaboratory.com
and www.sauna-protocols.html.

FOR YOUR SAFETY
1. Electrical and/or Light Receptacles shall not be installed inside the TheraSauna®
room.
2. Do not add any locking or latching systems to the door of your TheraSauna®.
Malfunction of which could cause entrapment inside the sauna.
3. The TheraSauna® comes with a sliding roof vent to provide proper ventilation to
allow in fresh air if so desired.Keep vent closed when heating sauna.
ASSEMBLY TIPS
All assembly instructions are included with your TheraSauna®. The following are
tips for safely and correctly assembling your TheraSauna®:
1. This sauna will require at least two people to assemble. Panels can weigh up to
100 lbs.
2. When picking up the side panels or roof, do not pick them up along the thin
trim pieces as they may crack. Also, when putting the walls together, be gentle
and do not push too hard on these trim pieces.
3. When assembling the walls, do not over tighten the bolts until after you put the
seat panel in place. By leaving the bolts and side panels a little loose, you can
put the bench support panel and seat panel in without scraping the inside walls
of the side panels. Once the seat is in place, you can snugly tighten all bolts.
4. If you need to move an assembled sauna, you should only push against the
bottom floor section of the TheraSauna®. Do not push against the sidewalls.
5. Install half-moon light as desired, with glass shade facing up. When considering
your choice for a light bulb for your new TheraSauna®, keep in mind that the
light bulb operates on a dimmer-controlled switch. A standard 60 watt
incandescent bulb is the recommended style or an incandescent bulb that is
designed to be used with a dimmer switch. We do not suggest using a compact
fluorescent bulb as they do not operate correctly with a dimmer and may cause
damage to your sauna’s light control switch. See manufacturer’s warning on
the fluorescent bulb package, “Not intended for use with electronic timers,
photo cells, or with dimmers.”

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THERASAUNA®
1. Place the base panel (Figure 1, page 3) on a solid
flat surface with 5 supporting blocks down. Note:
The two metal inserts will indicate the front of the
base panel.
2. Stand back wall (Figure 2, page 3) on base with
channeled edge up, make sure to center wall along
back edge of base. Note: Base should extend out
from each end of wall.
3. Stand left sidewall (Figure 3, page 3) with
channeled edge up on base at a 90° angle to back
wall. Sidewall trim forms a channel for back wall
to interlock with sidewall. Insert three furniture
bolts (Figure 12, page 5) through holes in sidewall
and screw into back wall (do not tighten bolts.)
Hex wrench (Figure 13, page 5) is provided.
4. Stand right sidewall (Figure 4, page 3) on base.
Sidewall trim should interlock back walls. Insert
three furniture bolts through sidewall into back
wall (do not tighten).
5. Slide left bench support panel (Figure 7, page 4)
into guides on back wall. Note: Ensure the heater
plug is facing the back wall.
6. Slide right bench support panel (Figure 7, page 4)
into guides on back wall. Note: Ensure the heater
plug is facing the back wall.
7. Find the 3 cords with plugs sticking out from the
hole on the lower left corner of the back wall.
Matching up the colors, connect 2 of these cords to
the 2 cords sticking out from the hole in the lower
middle of the left side wall. Connect the third cord
from the back wall directly to the plug located on
the side of the heater box in the bench support.
Again, make sure the colors match. Repeat these
steps for the 3 cords located on the lower right
corner of the back wall for the right side.

must be removed if the seat needs to be reversed
once the sauna is assembled.

channeled edge up. Slide front wall into vertical
channel on side and insert six furniture bolts into
holes in both sidewalls into the front wall (do not
tighten). At this stage begin to tighten bolts
continuing around sauna. Tighten bolts securely.

USE
Always consult a physician before beginning a sauna program. You may wish to
begin with shorter sessions, 10 – 20 minutes, in the TheraSauna® and work up to
30 – 60 minutes per session, as you feel more comfortable and familiar with the
effects. Begin at a lower temperature setting and work up to one that is comfortable
for you.

WOOD CHARACTERISTICS
Each tree has its own characteristics that are unique to it alone. These features include
differences in color and grain directions that are produced by nature in every tree.
These variations create the beauty and style found in fine wood.
Since these differences in texture and grain affect the final finish, it is impossible to
guarantee an exact match in finish between any two pieces, even though identical
finishing processes are applied.
We have used a uniform finish on the natural woods in this TheraSauna® and we
hope that you will appreciate and enjoy its beauty.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR SAUNA USE
Drink liquids prior to, during and after your sauna session. Water works just fine. Use
the best quality water available to you. Eating a piece of fruit is helpful to replace
potassium. The typical American diet can replace phosphorous which is lost through
perspiration. Magnesium is replaceable through green leafy vegetables or
supplementation. (Some facts about Gatorade: the “energy” Gatorade supplies to
muscles is SUGAR. The “fluids” are water. And the “minerals” are salt (110 mg of
sodium and 97 mg of chlorine), 25 mg of potassium and 24 mg of phosphorous.
Americans eating an average diet of commercial food already consume too much salt
and phosphorous. While many people could use a little more potassium, there is more
than 25 mg in a TABLESPOON of orange juice.
If you shower or bathe before your Infrared Sauna session, you may sweat more: try it
with and without first bathing or showering to see which you prefer. Have 2-3 towels
available during your session. Sit on one towel folded over several times for added
cushioning. Use another towel on the floor to absorb extra sweat. A third towel can be
draped over the knees may provide comfort and is useful to towel off sweat during
your sauna session.
As you become more heat conditioned you may wish to increase the length of your
sessions to 40 minutes or longer. This is especially useful if desiring to heat soft
tissues to their optimal temperature prior to stretching to attain a non-elastic, lasting
elongation. Obviously, you will need to rehydrate very thoroughly and be sure to
properly support your mineral balance. Consult your doctor about your individual
usage. Many users report that they feel increasingly comfortable with longer sessions,
some as long as 1 ½ hours. On other days these same people “feel finished” with their
session after 30-40 minutes of usage. Any area that you wish to achieve a specific
deep heating effect in should be moved as close to one of the heaters as feels
comfortable.
