Safety Precautions
Review all the health and safety instructions. If in
doubt as to the advisability of using your sauna,
consult your physician. If you feel light-headed or
heat-exhausted during a session, exit the sauna
immediately.
Select the desired temperature and adjust the •
thermostat accordingly.
Allow approximately 10-15 minutes for the •
sauna to warm-up before beginning a session.
Perspiration will begin 10-15 minutes after •
stepping into the unit. We recommend that a
sauna session does not exceed 30 minutes.
When the temperature reaches the level set on •
the thermostat, the heaters will turn off and on
periodically to maintain the desired temperature
level inside of the sauna.
The front window or ceiling vent can be opened •
at any time to introduce fresh air into the
sauna.
Always drink plenty of water before, during and •
after a sauna session. Doing so will replenish
lost uids from the body through perspiration.
Choosing to take a hot shower or bath prior •
to the sauna session will further promote
persiration. 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.
To absorb perspiration and keep the sauna clean •
during a session, place a towel on the bench
and oor of the sauna. Keep one towel on hand
to wipe excessive sweat from your body.
The interior of the sauna is made of the nest •
softwood. 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 rst few months of use, wipe the wood with
a damp cloth to minimize the aroma.
