OWNER'S MANUAL - Health Mate Far Infrared Sauna

[P.17] Enjoying Your Health Mate Sauna
(16) ENJOY YOUR SAUNA!
Plug in the main power cord into the wall outlet and power up your sauna. All you have to do now
is to pop in your favorite CD in CD player (on the sauna), grab some towels and a glass of water,
and step into Health Mate Infrared Sauna to SWEAT YOUR WAY TO BETTER HEALTH!
��� The Health Mate Infrared Sauna utilizes infrared heat. Infrared heat waves reach the body directly
without having to heat the intervening air inside the sauna. With this system, breathing is more comfortable
and the atmosphere inside the sauna is more enjoyable than in conventional saunas. Because the infrared
heat energy is warming the body directly (and not the air, walls, and fixtures within the sauna), a lower
temperature setting can be used to achieve the desired results in a short session of 20 to 30 minutes.
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. Select the desired session temperature and time using the control panel (See page 12 & 13).
2. Allow approximately 10
to 15 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.
4. We recommend that a
sauna session does not
exceed 30 minutes.
5. When the temperature
reaches the level set on
the control panel, the
heaters will turn off and
on periodically in order
to maintain the desired
temperature level inside
of the sauna.
6. The ceiling vent(s) on the
top panel can be opened
at any time to introduce
fresh air into the sauna.
7. Infrared’s unique property
of direct penetration into
the body without heating
the intervening space inbetween
allows the users
to enjoy all of its benefits
while the door or window
of a sauna is open for
ventilation.
8. Always drink plenty of
water before, during, and
after a session. Doing so
will replenish lost fluids
from the body through
perspiration.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. The interior of the Health Mate Infrared Sauna is made of the finest Western Canadian Red Cedar. It is
very aromatic and adds to the enjoyment of your sauna session. If the fragrance of the fresh wood is too
strong during the first few months of usage, wipe the wood with a damp cloth to minimize the aroma.
