TURNING ON AND OPERATION
GUIDELINES FOR USING THE SAUNA
Regarding the use of the sauna, it is advisable to consider some important
points in order to optimise its operation and maximise its duration in the
correct conditions. The most important of these are listed below:
Make syre that all the components of the sauna work and that they
are correctly connected, if they are not, revise the guidelines on
assembly the installation.
Once the sauna is installed, it is advisable that the booth does not
go above 60ºC during the first 5 days of operation.
The sauna is a dry heat bath and is not made to continuously
produce steam, for this reason it is not advisable to pour moe than
two containers of water onto the hot stones consecutively.
It is recommendable, to prolong the precision of the control panel,
not to vart the programmed temperature or connect and disconnect
the sauna with excessive frequency.
Once the sauna session is finished, turn off the general switch on
the control panel.
Never put any object onto the stones, even when you are not using
the sauna. This could cause serious accidents if the object were
flammable.
To avoid fissure or leaks in the water container, it should normally
contain liquid and never place it higher than one meter.
Always close the door once the sauna session is finished.
Turn off the protective circuit breaker of the sauna line when it is not
going to be used for long period of time.
IT is not advisable to try to mve the whole sauna, without dimantling
it first, as its structure might be slightly affected.

To avoid faults or unwanted effects, always replace the components
with original replacements or with the same technical specifications.
HOW THE SAUNA SESSION SHOULD BE CONDUCTED
The basic philosophy of the sauna session includes a cyclical repetition of the
warming up a cooling down stages alteratively for at least 2 or 3 cycles.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Hot water shower.
Hygienic shower with soap for cleaning impurities from pores. The hot
water starts the process of opening the skin pores. It is recommebable to
go to the WC beforehand, in public saunas, as in swimming pools, it is
compulsory.
2. Dry your whole body properly.
If you do't dry your skin correctly, you will slow down the perspiration
process when you enter the sauna.
3. Enter the sauna (Temperature 80-90°C).
Initially when entering the sauna, you should choose a lower level bench
and then, susequently, move to the upper levels where the temperature is
higher. In the sauna, get into the most comfortable position, trying to keep
your legs at the same or similar level. The time spent in the sauna should
be determined by subjective necessity, which is individual to each user. It
is not correct to leave the sauna when you don't geel the need to cool
down, but it is neither correct to stay in it although you feel this need. In
either of those two situations, it is possible not to receive the beneficial
effects of the sauna. Although, the length of time spent in the sauna is
usually between 6 and 14 minutes, depending on age, sex and state of
being. You must keep in mind that every person will feel the need to leave
the sauna at different times, and at different intervals. For this reason it is
difficult to talk about the capacity of each person in the sauna.
