through a surge protector
, AVR or UPS device similar to that
one which protects computers or refrigerators. It will protect the
controller from any malfunctions resulting from a power surge.
Please remember
to turn the controller OFF and unplug your
product from the power socket after use
.

The first heating should be to
test your product at the highest
temperature level
(70 °C equal to 158 °F) for 2-3 hours. This
will also help purge any possible odors from the fabric and other
layers’ remaining volatile particles. If you are oversensitive to
smells you may choose to air it out in a garage overnight. Our
mats and pads are made from the highest quality, ‘zero-emission’

TIPS: USING YOUR MAT
materials but it is still better to do this. Do not put the protector
on the product or lay on it during this time.
8.
Find a secure, dedicated area with calm surrounding and good
time to use your product
with some degree of concentration.
Put up “do not disturb signs” and play some soothing music to
enhance your experience. Put on comfortable sleepwear and
relax. It may be a good idea to
clean and scrub your body
to open the pores before your sessions
, as this will facilitate
sweating and detoxification. You can preheat your belt, vest or
wraps and wear them concealed under clothes walking or running
outside. Mats are stationary and better to use them at home.
1.
It usually takes around 30-60 minutes for the Mat to reach the
maximum temperature if you put both a thick protector and a
thick blanket on top
. Cover the mat with a blanket and leave it
periodically, checking how hot it is under the blanket.
2. The
heating process stops and resumes again when the mat
cools down, to maintain the set temperature
. During this time,
the gems become very warm and emit radiant Far Infra-Red rays.
3. For extra electrical safety the heating wires are positioned a short
distance from the mat’s edges so that the end tubes with crystals
are heated indirectly by other stones. It is normal when
these close
to edges of the mat stones have a lower temperature
.
4. When the heat is on, the surface temperature of the bare mat under
the blanket, or under your body if you are on the mat, becomes hot
to touch.
At maximum heat level it will reach 140-150 °F (60-
65 °C) on the surface, if measured immediately after you stand
up or remove the thick blanket or pillow. But if you measure
the bare mat surface temperature in several minutes again it
will be much lower, around 110-130 °F (40-50 °C)
. If the mat
is uncovered, and room temperature is low or the air flow is strong,
it will cool the mat very quickly. This is normal – when preheated,
the crystals transfer most of the energy in the form of Far Infrared
Rays very quickly.
5. If you keep your mat open without the protector pad, blanket, or
your body on it, the heat is dissipated – and though the controller
may continue to show rather high temperature inside the mat’s
heating elements,
the surface will be merely warm to touch even
on highest level
.
6. Sometimes when the mat starts to heat some humming or buzz
noise can be heard from the controller which is quite normal. But
if the noise gets stronger or you feel any smell or other signs
of possible controller or mat failure, please stop using the mat
.
7.
It is OK for the controller to warm up a little when the mat is on
the highest heat level for a long time. But
it is not normal if the
controller gets really hot or if you notice any smell
. Please turn
off the mat and contact us for a free replacement if this happens.
Remember not to put controller on the mat, even if the mat is
cool. It may heat up and damage the controller
.
8. The most frequent reason for initial controller malfunction is an
incorrect order of connection.
It is necessary to connect the
mat to the controller first, TIGHTLY, and only after this should
you plug the controller into the outlet, then turn it on and set
the timer
. After this you may set desired temperature.
When you
disconnect, first turn the controller to OFF, then disconnect the
plug from the socket – and only after this (and only if it is
necessary), unplug the controller from the mat
.
9.
Do not disconnect the controller from the mat more frequently
than necessary
, in order to avoid the connection becoming
loose. If you connect the controller to the power source first
(before connecting it to the mat),
the safety program will lock
the controller and put it in ‘safe’ mode
. It may start to beep or
will show OF or other error code on the screen. To reactivate the
controller simply reconnect it in the correct order.
10. Choose the best position. FIR amethyst rays penetrate deep and
may awake resonant vibrations on micro level so that even after
the session is over the body temperature may stay elevated
to normal level of 98.6 °F for up to 8 hours, which is good for
activity and rejuvenation. This phenomenon is described in the
European bestseller «98,6 – Ideal Body Temperature as the Secret
to Optimum Health» by famous German naturopath Dr Uwe. But
there is also the local effect when those organs and tissues which
are closest to the mat receive more heat. It may be beneficial
for them, but the highest levels may also cause some issues with
movement if you have stones, etc. If
you lay on your right side,
please be sure that you do not have gallstones in the bladder
and that it is healthy
. Heat may cause gallstone movements and
cause inflammation and pain. If you lay on the mat on your belly,
it is important to protect your genitals. The left side is safer in this
regard, but usually
laying on one’s back is the best position
.*
11.
If the mat feels hard at the starting point, it is essential to
cushion it and eliminate the crystals’ pressure correctly.
Put on
top a 3-D pad, and a cover included into the set of your mat. You
can add several layers of bamboo, cotton sheets or towels, but not
more than one inch thick to make your mat even softer. As soon
as your body gets used to the crystals’ pressure, you may choose
to remove the extra layers one-by-one. Protectors and towels are
great for sweat absorption during heating sessions or for moderate
cushioning, but for high intensity, it may be better to use your
mat without any covering. With FIR, some of the heating rays will
dissipate if you use a thicker layer on top of the stone mat and
under your body. The same applies to negative ions, but most will
still travel through. As for longer sessions, even with covers the
mat can still be too hard to sleep and too heavy to remove it from
your bed every evening (especially if you have a large size mat).
A simple solution is to put a 3-4 inch thick mattress pad on top,
which is lighter and easier to handle than the stone mat. Be aware
that you can cover your mat with a thicker than one-inch layer or a
non-permeable foam pad ONLY after the mat cools down. To avoid
overheating and fire risks NEVER heat your mat with the topper or
thick layer on it. Always remove the topper first and leave only a
thin cover or a 3-D pad before you turn ON heating function.
12.
Always keep your Waterproof Protector on the mat to protect it
from spills and dirt
. But even if your mat occasionally gets wet, do
not worry, it has waterproof layers inside. Just let it completely dry
before using it again if it gets wet.
13.
Be careful with your first session. Use a slow and continuous
mode of increasing intensity
. Begin with temperature levels as
