Enjoying the light
The recommended duration of treatment is maximum 12 minutes. We recommend selecting a shorter
radiation period to start with. However, the skin of some people may show an over-sensitive (e.g. with
extreme redness, blistering, itching, heavy sweating) or allergic reaction to heat radiation, even when
the lamp is used correctly.

Important instructions
The distance between the infrared lamp and the radiated part of the body should not be less than the
following: at least 32 in (80 cm).
Always use the protective eyewear supplied during usage. The protective eyewear corresponds to the
requirements of EN 171:2002 and serves to protect the eyes.
CAUTION:
Never look directly into the infrared light without protective eyewear.
Basically,
examine the radiated section of the body regularly. Discontinue radiation immediately if any signs of
an over-sensitive or allergic reaction appear and consult a physician.

The lamp is hot after being used. Let the lamp cool off first long enough before you put it

when in use.
