Operating the Sauna
NOTE: Before the sauna is turned on, remove plastic protective covering from the
CONTROL PANELS. Please check and confirm that the connections to the POWER
SUPPLY, HEAT EMITTERS, CD/RADIO, and TEMPERATURE SENSOR are connected
properly. The power supply voltage and frequency must match the requested voltage
and frequency of the sauna (120VAC 15AMP Dedicated Circuit or 120VAC 20AMP
Dedicated Circuit).
Since many materials absorb the infrared rays, minimal clothing is recommended for
maximum effect. The infrared sauna emitters are designed to heat you and not
necessarily the air inside the sauna. It is not a hot box like a traditional sauna. The
temperature gauge is a guide for your safety. It is recommended that you drink water
before, during, and after sauna use to prevent dehydration since body fluids will be lost
through perspiration. It is not recommended to shower after use since the pores in your
skin will be open and could possibly absorb anything in the water.
1. Plug the sauna into the outlet receptacle.
2. Press the button once. The POWER light will come on, the TIME DISPLAY will show 90
(minutes), the TEMPERATURE DISPLAY will show 66 (degrees Celsius), and the control panel
will flash.
3. Press the button and then the up/down arrows to adjust the amount of time you want the
sauna to remain on. Press the C/F button to choose between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Press the
button and then the up/down arrows to adjust the temperature setting. Once you have set
these adjustments to the desired settings, press the button. You will need to pre-heat the
sauna room to the set temperature before entering. Please keep in mind that you will increase the
time it takes for the sauna room to reach the set temperature if you enter the sauna room before it
has reached the set temperature.
4. The set-up time will count downward in minutes one by one. The time will continue to count
downward unless you interrupt the time by pressing the clock button and then adjust the time to
your preference by pressing the up/down arrow buttons. Once again, you can adjust the time in
minutes by pressing the button and then the up/down arrows. If you do choose to adjust the
time, the control panel will flash and the emitters will stop generating heat. Once you set the time
to the desired setting, then press the button twice and the control panel will stop flashing and
heat will began coming from the emitters once again.
5. Heating times do vary. Generally, it will take approximately twenty to thirty minutes to preheat the
sauna to 50 degrees Celsius / 122 degrees Fahrenheit. When the ambient temperature is low,
heating requires additional time. For the first few times of use, you may use 46 degrees Celsius
/115 degrees Fahrenheit as a reference starting point for a time period of about 15 minutes (this
represents the actual time you are in the sauna at the desired temperature). As you become more
comfortable and familiar with the sauna, you can increase the temperature and time period
according to personal preference.
6. When the temperature is at the set-up value, the digital control will maintain the set temperature.
The emitters will stop generating heat. Once the inside temperature drops approximately 4
degrees, the heat will again be generated by the emitters. The inside temperature will always
remain around the set-up value.
