FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ASSEMBLY
Can I assembly my sauna outdoors?
Yes, if you protect it with a Sunlighten canvas sauna cover. If you place your sauna
outdoors without a Sunlighten cover, your warranty will be void. The sauna covers are
custom made and may not arrive until after you receive your sauna. Do not install your
sauna outdoors prior to receiving your cover. Doing so will void the warranty! Check
the sauna cover annually for normal wear and replace as needed.
How much room is required around my sauna for set up and maintenance?
We recommend 4-12 inches of clearance around the back, sides and top of the sauna
to access plugs and for general maintenance. Leave at least 4 inches behind the unit to
allow the electronics to cool.
What surfaces can I set my sauna on?
You can set your sauna on tile, concrete, carpet, laminate or wood. Remember to make
sure that your sauna is level regardless of its location for optimal use. If your sauna is
placed outdoors , make sure there is adequate drainage so that water cannot pool
around the base of the sauna. If placed near or on cool surfaces (like concrete and
basement walls), warm-up can be impacted.
How do I install Chromotherapy and Acoustic Resonance Therapy?
These are add-on sauna accessories with separate user manuals. Please refer to the
appropriate manual.
USAGE
How long does it take for my sauna to warm up?
The controls are preset to 60 minutes at 150°F. However, the inside cabin temperature
is not intended to reach this. Our saunas are based on the infrared wavelength and not
cabin temperature. Allow the sauna to warm up for 30-45 minutes. The sauna heats
up at an average of 1 degree per minute. If located outside or in unheated garage,
additional warm up time may be required. If you prefer the sauna hotter, let it warm up
longer.
Can I use my sauna every day?
For the majority, daily sauna use is okay after your body has become accustomed to
infrared therapy. Drinking increased amounts of water to stay hydrated. Listen to your
body and stop your session if you feel any discomfort.
