Carefully and thoroughly read this manual before using the sauna for the first time. We recommend
keeping this manual for regular review and future reference.
Congratulations on your purchase of a Far Infra-Red (FIR) Dry Sauna from Keys Backyard. Please take a moment to read through some of the features and benefits of your new sauna. And remember to always consult your physician before beginning any sauna therapy program.
REV.A HOW IT WORKS – Your sauna uses ceramic rods to produce beneficial infrared rays. This means that a metallic filament inside the ceramic has an electrical current pass through it. The filament heats the ceramic surrounding it, and the ceramic rod emits Far Infra-Red rays.
WHAT ARE FAR INFRARED RAYS – Infrared is an invisible band of light that warms objects without warming the air between them. These are the beneficial rays that our Sun produces, helping to warm our skin with direct sunlight even on a cold day. With our ceramic emitters up to 95% of the energy produced is transformed into Far Infra-Red
rays with a wavelength of 5 to 17 microns. The Sun produces Far Infra-Red rays at 9.4 microns.
ARE INFRARED RAYS SAFE – Infrared rays are essential to almost every form of life on our planet. In addition to helping warm a person, they also help the body function better on a cellular level. The technology is so safe that it has been used for years in hospital delivery rooms to help newborn babies achieve an acceptable body temperature.
HOW TO USE YOUR SAUNA – Turn the sauna on and set the temperature to 140 degrees. You will want to wear a minimal amount of clothing into the sauna as some materials will absorb the infrared rays. Some people prefer to have some water with them to help replace the water that will
be lost through perspiration. After about 5 minutes your sauna is ready to use. REMEMBER – your sauna is NOT a hot box. The infrared emitters are designed to heat you, not the air inside the box. The temperature gauge is there merely as a guide for your enjoyment and safety.
NOT A HOT BOX – When people hear the word sauna they typically think of a steam sauna where high temperatures and high humidity induce a person to sweat. In our example, a steam sauna is similar to a conventional oven. It
cooks your food by heating it to extremely high temperatures. An infrared sauna is more like a microwave oven – it produces energy which warms the food and excites the water molecules inside the food to bake it. Your infrared sauna produces energy that will warm your body and cause the desired reactions without having to reach extremely high (and uncomfortable) temperatures inside the unit. Because of the infrared rays produced, sweating inside an infrared sauna will start at much lower temperatures than under normal conditions.
TEMPERATURE – The key to your infrared sauna is to keep the unit working the entire time you are inside. Working is defined as having a current sent through the filament, which thus produces infrared rays. If you wait until your sauna approaches or reaches its peak capacity of 140 degrees, the unit will only “work” (emitted infrared rays) when the temperature drops below 140, which means that you will only intermittently be receiving the beneficial infrared rays. The temperature gauge and the timer are mandated safety features to make sure that someone does not overheat their body. There are no negative side effects to prolonged
exposure to infrareds outside of overheating.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN INSIDE – You will feel the heat being generated by the infrared emitters immediately. The wavelength of this heat will allow the rays to penetrate your skin and heat your body beneath the surface. This will excite the water molecules stored in the layer of fat just beneath your skin, and cause you to start to sweat. Most people tend to sweat after about 20 minutes, although this time period shortens with frequent sauna use. This sweat also allows the body to detoxify itself as the toxins it has eliminated from your blood stream and stored in your fat layer can now be brought to the surface of the skin with the sweat. The direct heat will also cause your blood vessels to dilate (increasing your circulation) and will increase your breathing and heart rate. Your body will also burn calories as it produces sweat. It is recommended that you drink water before, during and after your sauna to make sure you do not become dehydrated.
Be careful with what you take inside of your sauna with you. Some metals absorb the infrared rays and can become extremely hot during a sauna session.
AFTER THE SAUNA – It is recommended that you towel off after your sauna session. It is NOT recommended that you take a shower immediately after as the pores in your skin will be open and could potentially absorb anything in your water; but if you do shower, do not use soap – just rinse off.
CARE FOR YOUR SAUNA – Your sauna does not require a lot of care. If desired, you can wipe it down with water and a clean cloth. Do not use oils or cleaning chemicals, as these items will then be released next time you are in your sauna and could potentially cause you health issues.
BENEFITS OF YOUR SAUNA – Benefits of infrared therapy have been studied for several decades in Japan, Europe and recently in the US as well. Frequent users of infrared saunas have seen:
-Lowering of blood pressure
-Decrease of joint stiffness
-Weight Loss
-Lowering of blood sugar levels
-Increase in blood flow
-Lowering of cholesterol
-Lowering of triglycerides
-Relief of muscle spasms
-Pain Relief
-Increases extensibility of collagen tissue
-Assists in resolution of inflammatory infiltrates, edema and exudates
-Help with acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns and skin lesions and cuts
-Helps open wound heal quicker and with less scarring
-Improve skin tone and elasticity
-Breaks up cellulite
-Boosts immune system
-Helps reduce injuries when used for warming up muscles before stretching and exercising
DISCLAIMER – The infrared rays emitted by your infrared sauna is reputed to offer an astounding range of possible therapeutic benefits and effects in research conducted around the work. These benefits are presented a reference purposes only, and no implication of Infrared Saunas creating a cure for or treating any disease is implied nor should be inferred. If you have a health condition, are using prescription drugs or have acute joint problems, please consult your physician before beginning an infrared sauna therapy routine. Persons with surgical implants (metal pins, rods, artificial joints, silicone or other) typically do not experience
any adverse effects, but should also consult their surgeon before beginning infrared therapy.
