Use
This infrared radiant heater is only intended for radiat-
ing the human body.
Infrared light causes warmth to be transported to the
human body. Blood supply to the radiated skin is im-
proved and the metabolic rate is increased in the field
of temperature. The body is stimulated to heal by the
effect of the infrared light; healing processes are tar-
geted specifically.
Infrared light can, for example, be used as an accom-
panying therapy in the treatment of ear, nose and throat
diseases, as well as in facial and beauty care, especial-
ly with impure skin. IR heat can also be used as a sup-
port tool in the treatment of muscle tension and chills
because the heat stimulates blood flow. You should
first ask your GP whether its use is medically advisable
in particular cases. The unit has a high-quality glass
ceramic plate (ceramic infrared). Glass ceramic plates
are also used on hobs and when used in conjunction
with a lamp ensure intensive and safe infrared radiation
that is 100% safe. The device is also equipped with an
energy saving function, which means that no power is
used when the mains switch is switched off.
