Enjoying your Sauna
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Review all health and safety instructions. If in doubt as to the advisability of using your infrared sauna,
consult with your physician. If you feel light -headed or heat-exhausted during a session, exit the sauna
immediately.
1. Set the temperature to a comfortable level, normally, 37.8-60
℃
(100
℉
-140
℉
).
2. Allow approximately 15-20 minutes for the sauna to warm up before beginning a session.
3. Perspiration will begin within 10 to 15 minutes after stepping into the unit. We recommend that a
sauna session does not exceed 30 minutes.
4. When the temperature reaches the setting level, the heaters will power down and trickle charge to
maintain the desired temperature level inside of the sauna.
5. The front door/window and/or ceiling vent can be opened at any time to introduce fresh air into the
sauna.
6. Infrared's unique property of direct penetration into the body without heating the intervening air
in-between allows sauna users to enjoy all of its benefits while the door or window of a sauna is
open for ventilation.
7. Please drink some water before, during, and after a sauna session. Doing so will replenish lost
fluids from the body through perspiration.
8. Choosing to take a hot shower or bath prior to the sauna session will further promote perspiration.
However, dry off thoroughly before going into the sauna because excessive water will stain or
warp the wood. A shower after the session is refreshing and rinses perspiration from the body.
9. To absorb perspiration and keep the sauna tidy during the session, place a towel on the bench and
floor of the sauna. Keep one towel handy to wipe excessive sweat from your body.
Tips for Use
1. To regulate the temperature inside the sauna during your session, use the roof vent or the door
window (by setting it at an angle).
2. If you feel the need for more cooling, simply leave the door open until the air around you feels
comfortable enough.
3. Drink fluids prior to, during, and after your session.
4. If you take a hot/warm shower or bath before your sauna session, you may perspire more. Try it
with and without bathing or showering first to determine which way you prefer.
5. To utilize the sauna's heat therapy effect, give your hair a hot oil treatment while in the sauna. Put
oil or treatment into your hair and wrap it with towel. After the session is over, rinse your hair
thoroughly.
6. Use at least 2-3 towels. Sit on one towel folded over several times for added cushioning. Put
another towel on the floor to absorb extra sweat. A third towel draped over the knees may aid you
in comfort and is useful to towel off sweat.
