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
Danger
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
i
i
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.
