This document is an instruction manual for Maxxus Infrared Saunas, specifically models MX-J206-01 (2-person) and MX-J306-01 (3-person) FAR Infrared Saunas. It provides comprehensive information on the device's function, technical specifications, usage, and maintenance.
Function Description:
The Maxxus Infrared Sauna is designed for indoor use, utilizing FAR infrared rays to generate heat. Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air, infrared saunas heat the body directly through a process called conversion. Far Infrared rays penetrate organic substances like the human body two to three inches, providing a uniform warming effect. This deep heating promotes perspiration, which helps in the natural cooling process and aids in removing acid and waste residues such as toxins, sodium, alcohol, nicotine, cholesterol, and potentially carcinogenic heavy metals from cells. The sauna is reported to offer various therapeutic benefits, including pain relief from Rheumatoid Arthritis, muscle spasm relaxation, increased blood circulation, cardiovascular conditioning, clearing rashes and acne, cellulite reduction, removal of toxins and mineral waste, stress and fatigue reduction, and enhanced skin tone. The manual explicitly states that these benefits are presented for reference only and no implication of infrared saunas creating a cure for or treating any disease is implied.

- Timer: Adjustable from 5 to 60 minutes.
- EMF Levels: The manual includes a table comparing EMF levels from common household sources, indicating that low-power, low-frequency electromagnetic radiation associated with infrared saunas does not constitute a short or long-term health hazard.
Usage Features:
- Assembly: Requires two adults, a Philips screwdriver, and a ladder. The sauna must be assembled on a completely level surface. Instructions include detailed steps for placing floor, back, side, and front panels, connecting buckles, installing floor and bench heaters, and connecting electrical cords/wires.
- Control Panel: Features temperature control, a timer, and power/heat indicators.
- Temperature Setting: Use dedicated buttons to increase or decrease the desired temperature. The "Heat" light indicates heating is active.
- Timer Setting: Use dedicated buttons to set the session duration from 5 to 60 minutes. The sauna automatically shuts off after the set time.
- Color Light Therapy System: An interior light can be turned ON/OFF. Holding the light button for 2 seconds activates "light" mode (indicated by "2n" on the LED display), allowing users to scroll through different colors or select two "white" options (sequenced shades or constant white light).
- Fahrenheit/Centigrade Switch: Can be toggled by pressing and holding the temperature up and down buttons simultaneously, then pressing the power button.
- Bluetooth Function (MX-J306-01): Built into the control panel. Users can pair their device (BT-AUDIO) to stream music, controlling volume and music selection from their device.
- MP3 Jack: Allows connecting musical devices via an AUX wire. The sound system automatically returns to Bluetooth mode when the MP3 wire is disconnected.
- Sauna Sessions:
- Preheating is optional; users can enter the sauna as it heats up, though this will extend the time to reach the set temperature.
- Drinking water before, during, and after sessions is recommended for hydration.
- The movable roof vent or slightly opening the door can regulate temperature.
- Using towels on the bench and for wiping perspiration is advised.
- Continuous use should not exceed 3 hours, followed by a one-hour shutdown.
- Avoid touching heating elements to prevent burns.
- After a session, allow the body to cool down gradually before showering or bathing.

- Do not stack or store objects on top of or inside the sauna.
- Do not continuously switch power ON and OFF excessively.
- Hands must be dry when handling cords and wiring.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: Use plain water and a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the interior. Do not use liquid cleaners, aerosol cleaners, benzene, alcohol, or strong chemical-based cleaning agents, as they can be absorbed into the wood and damage the sauna. Unplug the sauna from the wall outlet before cleaning.
- Heater Inspection: Visually inspect all heaters for damage before assembly. Do not start the sauna if damage is detected.
- Power Cord: If damaged or excessively hot, contact the manufacturer for replacement.
- Electrical Outlet: Ensure the outlet is in good working order. If loose wiring or sparking is observed, have it replaced by a certified electrician.
