Repairs
Important
• Do not open the device. Please do not attempt to repair the unit yourself. This could result in serious inju-
ries. Failure to observe this regulation shall void the warranty.
• If you need to have the unit repaired, contact customer service or an authorised dealer.
4. Initial use
Setup
Remove the unit from the packaging. Remove all packaging material before using the appliance. Before use,
check whether the infrared lamp is properly screwed in. Place the device on flat surfaces. The appliance has an
adjustable lampshade. Set the angle of the fluorescent screen in accordance with your individual requirements.
Mains connection
Connect the unit only to the mains voltage listed on the type plate.
Note:
• Ensure that there is a socket near the place where the lamp will stand.
• Lay the mains cable in such a way that no one can trip over it.
Replacing the fuse (UK plug only)
If the fuse needs replacing, please observe the following:
• Remove the mains plug
• Lift out the fuse holder from the inside of the mains plug using a flat screwdriver
• Pull out the fuse from the fuse holder and replace it with a new fuse type: 3A (breaking capacity 6 kA at 240 V)
in accordance with BS-1362 / SS167.
• Press the fuse holder containing the new fuse into the plug slot
• Plug the mains plug into the socket and test to see if it works.
5. Operation
1 Switching on the lamp
 Push the plug completely into the mains socket.
2 Enjoying the light
While using the lamp on the face, always keep the eyes closed in order to avoid injury to the eyes (do
not look directly at the infrared light).
The recommended duration of treatment is maximum 12 minutes. We recommend selecting a shorter
radiation period to start with. However, the skin of some people may show an over-sensitive (e.g. with
extreme redness, blistering, itching, heavy sweating) or allergic reaction to heat radiation, even when
the lamp is used correctly.
3 Important instructions
The distance between the infrared lamp and the radiated part of the body should not be less than the
following:
IL 11: at least 24 in (60 cm)
IL 21: at least 32 in (80 cm)
Basically,
examine the radiated section of the body regularly. Discontinue radiation immediately if any signs of
an over-sensitive or allergic reaction appear and consult a physician.
4 Switching off the lamp
 Pull the mains plug from the socket.
CAUTION!
The lamp is hot after being used. Let the lamp cool off first long enough before you put it
away and/or pack it up!
Please note that the mains cable must not be wound round the infrared lamp either for storage or
when in use.
