RECOMMENDATIONS
• Install the sauna on a perfectly flat floor.
• The sauna must remain in a dry area.
• Do not use it near a source of water (bath, damp floor, swimming pool).
• Do not use liquid cleaning products.
• Disconnect the sauna before cleaning and use a wet rag. (see Maintenance section)
• Protect the sauna’s electrical cable to avoid it being crushed or pinched.
• Prior to replacing certain components, ensure that they are specified by the manufacturer or that they have the same features as the original parts. Incorrect replacement can cause a fire, a short circuit or damage to the sauna. We strongly recommend using a qualified technician.
• To avoid the risk of burns or electric shocks, do not use any metal tools.
• Do not put animals in the sauna.
• Do not leave the sauna switched on without supervision.
• Do not leave the sauna switched on for more than 3 hours at a time to avoid premature deterioration of the equipment. After 3 hours continuous usage, switch off the sauna for at least one hour.
• We recommend that you do not install a locking system on the sauna door.
• Check compliance of your electrical installation prior to connecting your sauna to the power supply.

Children between 6 and 16 years of age may use the sauna provided that they are continuously supervised by a responsible adult and that the temperature does not exceed 60°C (140°F).
In the event of problems involving health, medication or injury to muscles or ligaments, do not use the sauna without previously consulting a doctor and obtaining approval.

Wait 30 minutes for your body to cool down.
Do not spend more than 40 minutes in the sauna at any one time.
Do not consume alcohol or drugs before or during the session.
Do not sleep in the sauna when it is in operation.
To avoid the risk of overheating, connect your sauna to a sufficiently powerful electrical outlet and do not connect other electrical equipment to the same wall socket.
To avoid any risk of electrocution or damage to the sauna, do not use it:
• During thunderstorms.
• If the electrical cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified person.

Never work with wet hands or feet.
Do not switch the electricity or the heating system rapidly on or off as this could damage the electrical system.
Do not try to repair the sauna by yourself without the agreement of the sauna’s distributor or manufacturer.
