WARM-UP TIME & USAGE GUIDELINES
The controls are preset to 60 minutes at 165°F (74°C). This is the maximum temperature
setting, as the actual temperature will not reach this during normal use. If the system reads
a temperature exceeding the set temperature, it will deactivate the heaters to bring the air
temperature back down under the limit. Our saunas are based on the infrared wavelength and
not cabin temperature. Allow the sauna to warm-up for at least 30-45 minutes. The sauna heats
up at an average of 1 degree per minute. Follow these steps for proper warm-up:
Step 1: Make sure your sauna is plugged into a dedicated outlet installed by
a certied electrician.
Step 2: Check the settings on the keypad. The default setting should be set to
151°F (66°C) and the timer set to 60 minutes.
Step 3: When turning sauna on for the rst time, ensure each heater is warming up
after a couple of minutes. If they are not, check roof connections.
NOTE: If your sauna is outside or in an unheated garage, sun room, basement, or patio, it may
require additional time to warm the sauna up. Warm time is impacted by the temperature
of the surrounding surface and room. Keep in mind you are required to have an authorized
Sunlighten cover over your sauna if it is outside or exposed to the weather in order to
maintain your warranty.

will be set to 151°F (66°C).
To cancel a reservation, press the timer up and timer down arrows simultaneously until the
