Read all health and safety instructions. If in doubt as to the advisability of using your infrared
sauna, consult with your physician prior to use. If you feel light-headed or heat exhaustion
during session, leave the sauna immediately.
1. Read and follow all instructions carefully.
2. When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always
be followed.
3. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to use the sauna unless they are closely
supervised.
4. Do not use the sauna immediately following strenuous exercise. Wait at least 30 minutes to
allow the body to cool down completely.
5. Excessive temperature has a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months
of pregnancy.
Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should contact their physician
prior to using the sauna.
6. Hyperthermia Danger: Prolonged exposure to hot air will induce Hyperthermia.
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several
degrees above the normal body temperature of 37
0
C (98.6
0
F). While Hyperthermia has
many health benefits, it is important not to allow your body’s core temperature to rise above
103
0
F. Symptoms of excessive Hyperthermia include dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and
fainting. The effects of excessive Hyperthermia may include failure to perceive heat, failure
to recognize the need to leave, unawareness of impending hazard, fetal damage in pregnant
women, physical inability to leave the sauna, and unconsciousness.
7. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medications prior to or during the sauna session may lead to
unconsciousness.
8.
Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high
blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician
prior to using the sauna.
9.
Persons using medications should consult a physician before using the sauna since
some medications may induce drowsiness while others may affect heart rate, blood
pressure, and circulation.
10. Never sleep inside the sauna while the unit is in full operation.
11. DO NOT use any type of cleaning agents on the interior of the sauna.
12. DO NOT stack or store any object on top of or inside the sauna.
13. If power supply cord becomes damaged it must immediately be replaced by the
manufacturer, or its agent, or a similarly qualified person to avoid a hazard.
14. DO NOT use the unit during an electrical storm, as there is a remote risk of shock.
15. Altering or tampering with any electrical connections on the power supply will void the
manufacturer’s warranty.

the controls with wet hands or when you have wet bare feet. A danger of electrical shock
exists.
17. DO NOT attempt any repair without consulting the manufacturer first. Unauthorized repair
attempts will void manufacturer’s warranty.
