This document is an instruction manual for Maxxus Infrared Saunas, specifically models MX-J206-01 and MX-J306-01, designed for 2 and 3 persons, respectively. These are FAR Infrared saunas, utilizing carbon model heaters and intended for indoor use only. The MX-J206-01 requires a 120VAC 15AMP dedicated circuit, while the MX-J306-01 requires a 120VAC 20AMP dedicated circuit.
Function Description:
Infrared saunas operate by emitting infrared rays, a band of light perceived as heat, which directly penetrate the body's tissues to induce perspiration. Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air to high temperatures (upwards of 190°F), infrared saunas achieve the same effect at lower temperatures (up to 120°F), making the environment more tolerable and easier to breathe. The process is called conversion, where infrared rays heat the body without heating the air in between. Far Infrared, specifically, penetrates organic substances like the human body two to three inches, providing a uniform warming effect.

- EMF Levels: Low EMF models range from an average of 5mG-10mG at about two inches from the heater panel. Ultra Low EMF models range from 3mG-5mG at the same approximate distance. These levels are significantly lower than many common household appliances.
- Operating Temperature Range: Average used temperature range is between 118°F – 122°F (48°C – 50°C). The sauna can be set up to 151°F (66°C), but it's noted that the room may not reach this temperature, and this setting is primarily for users who prefer continuous heat emitter operation.
- Operating Time: For residential/semi-commercial use, the unit must have 1 hour OFF for every 3 hours ON.
- Preheat Time:
- To 100°F (38°C) from >70°F (21°C): ~20 minutes.
- To 115-120°F (46-49°C): ~25-30 minutes.
- To 125-130°F (52-54°C): ~35-40 minutes.
- To ~135°F (57°C): ~45-60 minutes.
Usage Features:
- Assembly: Requires two adults, a Philips screwdriver, and a ladder. The sauna is shipped in multiple cartons (2 for 1-2 person, 3 for 3-4 person models). Visual assembly diagrams are provided.
- Control Panel: Features temperature control, timer, power/heat buttons, and light control.
- Temperature Setting: Increase/decrease temperature using dedicated buttons. Pressing for 3 seconds allows for quick adjustment.
- Timer Setting: Set from 5 to 60 minutes. Pressing for 3 seconds allows for quick adjustment. The sauna automatically shuts off when the timer expires.
- Light Control: Turn interior light ON/OFF.
- Color Light Therapy System: Available by holding the light button for 2 seconds. Allows scrolling through different colors, including two "white" selections (sequence of shades or continuous white light).
- Fahrenheit/Centigrade Display Switch: Can be toggled by pressing and holding the TEMPERATURE side buttons and the power button simultaneously.
- Audio System:
- Bluetooth Function: Built into the control panel. Users can pair their device (e.g., "BT-AUDIO" or "BT-SAUNA") to stream music. Volume and music selection are controlled via the paired device.
- MP3 Jack: Located on the ceiling, allows connection of musical devices using an AUX wire. Disconnect the AUX wire when not in use to avoid static interference.
- Ventilation: Features a movable roof vent for regulating temperature and comfort.
- Accessories: May include a cup holder or magazine rack, which can be screwed to the interior wall panel.
- Safety Precautions:
- Always ensure the wall outlet meets specifications.
- Do not plug other appliances into the sauna's power supply.
- Assemble on a level surface.
- Avoid spraying water on sauna walls.
- Do not store flammable objects or chemicals near the sauna.
- Drink water before, during, and after sessions to prevent dehydration.
- Do not touch heating elements to avoid burns.
- Unplug the sauna when not in use.
- Consult a medical physician if pregnant, have medical conditions (heart disease, high/low blood pressure, diabetes, etc.), or are taking prescription drugs.
- Do not use immediately after strenuous exercise.
- Do not sleep inside the sauna.
- Do not use during electrical storms.
- Avoid continuously switching power ON/OFF excessively.
- Ensure hands are dry when plugging/unplugging cords.
- Do not attempt unauthorized repairs.
- Do not touch hot lamps.
- Do not pour liquids onto heat emitters.
- Do not make modifications to the sauna.
- Inspect for proper operation before each session.
- Do not install near water sources.
- Route power cord to prevent pinching.
- Use 2 towels during sessions: one on the bench for perspiration absorption and comfort, another for wiping perspiration. A third towel can be draped over legs if they get cold. Never place towels over the floor heater.
- Exit immediately if feeling dizzy, sleepy, or any discomfort.
- After a session, allow the body to cool down in the sauna with the door slightly open before showering.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: Infrared saunas require minimal maintenance. Wipe down with plain water and a damp, soft, clean cloth. Do not use any chemical-based cleaning agents, as they can be absorbed into the wood and released during use.
- Troubleshooting Guide: Provides solutions for common issues such as:
- No heat from some emitters: Check connections, replace damaged emitters, check/replace temperature sensor.
- Control panel malfunctioning: Check "CTRL" wire harness connections, replace control panel if damaged.
- No power: Check wall outlet, circuit breaker, power supply (reset button), power cords, "CTRL" wiring harness.
- CD player not working: Ensure lock screws are removed from the radio.
