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 thatthey have the same features as the original parts. Incorrect replacement can cause a fire, a shortcircuit 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.
SÉCURITÉ
IMPORTANT : Please read the safety instructions carefully before installing and using your sauna cabin.
They are essential for your safety, so please adhere strictly to them.
Beware of hyperthermia, heat stroke or heat exhaustion which can be caused or aggravated by
noncompliance
with the safety instructions. Symptoms are fever, a rapid pulse, dizziness, fainting, lethargy
and numbness in all or part of the body. The effects are: reduced awareness of the heat, ignorance of
imminent risks, loss of consciousness.
The sauna must not be used by :
• Children under 6 years of age.
• People with severe reactions to sunlight.
• Elderly or disabled people.
• People with previous medical conditions such as heart disease, high or low blood pressure,
blood circulation problems or diabetes without prior medical advice.
• Pregnant women
• Excessive temperature can endanger the foetus.
• Persons suffering from dehydration, open sores, eye disorders, burns or sunstroke.
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.
If surgical implants are worn, do not use the sauna without previously consulting a doctor and obtaining his approval.
Do not use the sauna after strenuous activity.
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.
• If the electrical cable overheats, it must be checked by a qualified person.
• If you have to change a bulb, wait until the sauna is switched off and cooled down.
Dry your hands before connecting or disconnecting the electricity.
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.
Unauthorised attempts to repair it will invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty.
Do not use any type of detergent inside the sauna.
• Do not pile up or store objects inside or on top of the sauna.
