event of faults, when changing the bulb, before cleaning and when the appliance is not in use. Never pull on the mains cable! Do not touch the lamp during operation or without first allowing a sufficient cooling period. Never immerse the appliance in water and do not allow it to come into contact with rain or other moisture! Should the appliance fall into water, disconnect the plug from the mains socket before removing the appliance from the water. Afterwards, do not use the appliance again before it has been checked by a member of authorised customer service personnel. This also applies if the mains cable or the appliance has fallen or been dropped. Place the appliance on a stable, level surface. Ensure an area of at least 30 cm of free space around the unit in order to avoid overheating.

Caution

Do not place the appliance on hot surfaces or near to heat sources and lay the mains cable in such a way that it does not come into contact with hot or sharpedged objects. Do not use the appliance whilst standing on a wet floor or if your hands or the appliance are wet. Do not bend the mains cable and do not wind it around the appliance. Do not leave the appliance unattended during operation. Use only proper extension leads. Do not operate the appliance outdoors, as this may bring it into contact with rain or other moisture.

Danger

If the appliance is not used properly or if it is operated incorrectly, no liability can be accepted for any damage which occurs as a result. Persons (including children) who are unable to operate the appliance correctly due to their physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge should not use this appliance without supervision or instruction by a responsible person.

Electrical appliances are not children’s toys! Therefore, use and store the appliance out of the reach of children. Do not allow the mains cable to hang down.

Repairs are to be carried out only by authorised customer service personnel. Never attempt to open the appliance or e.g. to get into the inside using metal objects.

If the mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced only by a repair workshop nominated by the manufacturer (see guarantee card), in order to avoid any danger.

This appliance is designed solely for use in private households, not for commercial use.

Keep the operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on with the appliance.

Special Safety Precautions

When using infrared emitters

Caution

Ensure that the voltage specified on the light bulb is the same as that of the local mains supply.

Danger

The unit must not be used for serious conditions (diabetes, skin cancer, heart disease, acute inflammation, multiple sclerosis, thrombosis, blood clotting problems), skin conditions or if seemingly harmless symptoms last too long! In such cases, consult a doctor. If you have taken painkillers or consumed alcohol, only use the appliance on your doctor’s advice as your sensitivity to heat may be impaired.

The UV radiation of the unit can damage the cornea and retina. When using the appliance, always keep your eyes closed.

Do not use the appliance near to bathtubs, washbasins or other vessels containing water. There is a danger even when the appliance is switched off. Remove the plug from the mains socket after use.

Danger

The housing becomes very hot when the appliance is switched on – danger of burns!

Heat sensitivity may be reduced after taking painkillers and anaesthetics, after local anaesthetic and by certain illnesses. In these cases, the distance must be at least 80 cm.

Installing a residual-current protector with a nominal trigger current of no more than 30 mA offers additional protection. Contact your electrician.

1) Use the infrared emitter only

with a Philips PAR 38 E, 230 V, 150 W infrared bulb. Do not use any other bulb and if any bulb is purchased subsequently, ensure that it is identical with the version supplied here.

2) Do not place any flammable objects in the area of irradiation: combs, spectacle frames etc. can catch fire and textiles may be singed.

3) Avoid sudden cooling (e.g. of the head) immediately after treatment.

4) Protect the lamp from strong impacts, including setting down harshly.

5) Remember not to put the appliance away immediately after switching it off, but allow it to cool first for a few minutes.

6) Disconnection from the mains supply is only guaranteed if the plug is removed from the socket.

Intended Use

The appliance may only be employed for its intended use – for heat therapy and treating illnesses. The infrared lamp is designed solely for use in private households and is not intended for commercial use. Any other use or modification to the appliance does not constitute an intended use and is fundamentally forbidden. No liability can be assumed for damage caused by use for purposes other than the intended use or in the event of improper operation.

Introduction

It is a long-known fact that heat can relieve pain and in many cases accelerate healing.

This healing heat is provided particularly effectively by the infrared lamp, from which the infrared radiation penetrates through the skin and deep into the tissue beneath. There is increased perfusion of the blood in the area, the blood vessels expand, more body-builders are taken to the irradiated point and the body breaks down the more “roughage”. The recovery process can be accelerated by the healing heat from the infrared lamp.

Initial Use

Place the appliance on a level surface and insert the mains plug into a properly installed plug socket. The infrared lamp will be illuminated.

Irradiation Distance

The distance should be such that the heat is felt to be comfortable. Generally, the distance is 40 - 60 cm.

Irradiation Duration

The best results are achieved with a treatment of 2 x 15 minutes per day.

How the Infrared Lamp Helps

Rheumatism, muscle pain and lumbago

– Continue the daily treatment until no more pain is felt. In the case of articular

rheumatism, seek the advice of your doctor.

Colds – The start of a cold can be

suppressed. If you already have a cold, repeated treatment can provide significant relief. However, only genuine colds should be treated. In the case of maxillary sinus,

frontal sinus and throat infections, treatment should only be undertaken

with the doctor’s consent.

Bruises and sprains – Start the treatment

around 12 hours after the accident and continue until any pain and all stiffness has disappeared.

Dermatitis, boils – Healing is promoted by regular infrared irradiation, if used in conjunction with remedies prescribed by the doctor.

undesired build-up of fat disappear more quickly.

Important for the Sportsman

If the infrared lamp is used when participating in the various forms of sport, the blood flow is intensified. This may help to improve sporting performance.

Wounds – Wounds heal quicker with treatment using the infrared lamp. At the same time, the risk of infection is reduced.

For infected wounds and for cases in complex locations, consult the doctor first.

Chilblains and cold feet – Chapped skin,

chilblains, numb fingers, occasional cold feet etc are caused by reduced blood flow. Treatment with the infrared lamp makes the blood vessels expand and stimulates circulation. However, it is important to start the treatment in good time.

Caring for Your Appearance

Healthy and cared for skin primarily demands sufficient circulation. Daily treatment with the infrared lamp proves time and again to be indispensable for beauty care, as this infrared heat has depth effect. The skin also takes in cosmetic compounds more quickly if the infrared lamp is used before and after application. It makes no difference whether skin is dry or greasy.

Hair loss – Infrared treatments combined with a scalp massage, can help remedy temporary hair loss.

Massage – The effect of massage is significantly increased by transitional or simultaneous infrared irradiation. The muscles are relaxed more. Bruising and the

The infrared lamp can also be used during a break, in conjunction with a massage, in order to relieve tiredness, muscle cramp and stiffness. Small injuries such as sprains, bruises and strains can be combated effectively.

Treatment of Animals

The healing heat of the infrared lamp can also be used for sick or the case of bruising, sprains, muscle pains (race horses and dogs), eczema, bald patches, skin and teat infections, swollen ankles and poorly healing wounds. Infrared treatments have proven to be advantageous even after dogs have been trimmed.
