4 Sit or lie down at the right distance from the appliance.
- At a distance of 30-40 cm to the body, the InfraCare treats an area of about 40 cm by 30 cm
(w x h). At a larger distance, the area treated becomes larger and the infrared light and
therefore the warmth less intense. At a smaller distance, the area treated is smaller and the
infrared light and therefore the warmth more intense.
- Make sure the distance between your body and the appliance is large enough to prevent
accidental contact with the hot filter.
- Choose a distance at which the heat is comfortable.
Note: The warmth of the appliance does not reach its full intensity until several minutes after switching the
appliance on. This does not mean, however, that the appliance is not effective during these first minutes.
Duration of treatment
The duration of the treatment depends on the person to be treated and the type of use.
We recommend a few short treatments a day, e.g. 2 treatments of 15 minutes, on a number of
consecutive days to get a result.
Note: Practice has shown that a few short treatments a day produce a better result than one
longer treatment.
Always consult your doctor in case of doubt!
Using the InfraCare
1 Insert the plug into a wall socket.
2 Switch the appliance on by pressing the on/off button. The green power-on light will go
on (Fig. 12).
3 Set the desired treatment time (0-99 minutes) by pressing the timer button. Keep the button
pressed to adjust the time more quickly. The set time is shown on the timer display.
Two seconds after releasing the timer button, the timer starts to count down in minutes.
,
The last minute is displayed in seconds. During countdown the remaining time blinks on
the display.
When the set time has elapsed, you hear an intermittent beep and 00 blinks on the display.
,
- Press the timer button to stop the beeping.
- If you don't press the timer button, the beeping will automatically stop after 45 seconds.
To change the set time during treatment, keep the timer button pressed for two seconds
,
until 00 appears on the display. Then use the timer button to set a new treatment time.
Note: The timer does not switch the appliance off. It only signals that the set time has elapsed.
Cleaning
Unplug the appliance and let it cool down for about 15 minutes before cleaning it.
Never use abrasive liquids such as scouring agents, petrol or acetone to clean the appliance.
1 Clean the lamp housing and the base with a moist cloth. Do not let any water run into
the appliance.
2 You can clean the outside of the filter with a soft cloth sprinkled with some
methylated spirits.
