Operating Instructions SRL 100 A1-51/2013-1.05

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.

1) Use the infrared emitter only

with a Philips R95 E27,

230 V, 100 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 device is only intended for heat

treatment of the human body. 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 is able

to relieve discomfort and accelerate the

healing process in many instances. The

infrared lamp is a particularly effective

source of this heat, with its infrared rays

penetrating the skin deep into the

underlying tissue.

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.

Danger

If the mains cable is damaged,

it must be replaced only by a

repair workshop nominated by

the manufacturer (see

guarantee card), in order to

avoid any danger.
This appliance is designed

solely for use in private

households, not for

commercial use.
Keep the operating instruc-

tions in a safe place and pass

them on with the appliance.

Special Safety

Precautions

When using infrared emitters

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 IR 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.

Installing a residual-current

protector with a nominal trigger

current of no more than 30 mA

offers additional protection.

Contact your electrician.

Ensure that the voltage

specified on the light bulb is

the same as that of the local

mains supply.
