Enjoying Your Sauna
Your sauna is ready for use. Stay hydrated and use towel
during your session to absorb perspiration.
1. Infrared Heat Benefits:
A. Clearlight®saunas are energy-ecient, using less
electricity than many household appliances, so you
can enjoy your sauna without high energy costs.
B. Infrared heat warms your body directly rather than
the air, providing deeper muscle relaxation and pain
relief.
C. The sauna’s walls and benches remain cooler to the
touch, enhancing comfort.
D. Approximately 80% of the infrared heat warms your
body, while only 20% heats the air.
E. Infrared therapy is most eective at lower air tem-
peratures (115°F – 125°F). Focus on raising your core
body temperature rather than increasing the sauna’s
ambient heat.
2. Sauna Positioning:
A. Sit with your back against the back wall to receive
infrared heat on both the front and back of your body.
Instructions for use
1. Health and Safety:
A. Review all health and safety instructions. Consult our
physician if unsure about sauna use.
B. If you feel light-headed, dizzy, nauseous, or overheat-
ed, exit the sauna immediately and hydrate.
2. Basic Usage:
A. Select Temperature and Time: Use the control panel
to set your desired temperature and time.
B. Warm-Up: Allow the sauna to warm up for 20-30 min-
utes before starting your session.
C. Start Slowly: Limit initial sessions to no more than 20
minutes. Gradually increase session length as your
body acclimates.
D. Maximizing Infrared Exposure: Set the temperature
high (around 150°F) to ensure the heaters run contin-
uously for optimal infrared exposure.
3. During the Sessions:
A. Hydration: Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water
before, during, and aer your session. Bringing a
quart of water into the sauna is recommended.
B. Towel Use and Care: Place towels on the bench and
floor to absorb perspiration. Keep a towel handy for-
wiping excessive perspiration.
*Custom sauna cushions are available for purchase.
C. Ventilation: The ceiling vent(s) can be opened for
fresh air. Opening the door slightly is fine, as the
infrared heat will still be eective. This will not aect
the infrared heat’s ability to penetrate your body.
D. Infrared Heat Penetration: Infrared heat penetrates
your body without excessively heating the air, pro-
viding a more comfortable experience compared to
traditional saunas.
3. Maximizing Benefits:
A. Clothing: For optimal benefits, expose as much skin
as possible. Avoid synthetic fabrics, as they can inhib-
it sweating and infrared heat absorption.
B. Hydration: Drink water before entering the sauna and
bring water inside to stay hydrated. If you’re thirsty
aer your session, you may not have drunk enough
during it.
4. What to Expect:
A. You will start sweating within a few minutes due to
the warm air.
B. Aer about 10 minutes, the infrared heat will stim-
ulate your body’s systems, leading to more intense
perspiration. Sweating time may vary from person to
person.
C. Session Length: Typical sauna sessions last 20-45
minutes, but you can adjust based on personal prefer-
ence and health conditions.
