5 Aim the beam of infrared light at the body part to be treated, by tilting the lamp housing backwards
(Fig. 4).
- Choose a distance at which the heat feels comfortable on your skin. Increase the distance if the
heat becomes too intense.
6 The device will switch off automatically when the desired treatment time has elapsed.
- If you want to switch off the device before the desired treatment time has elapsed, turn the timer
knob to 0 minutes.
Note: If you disconnect the device from the wall socket while the timer is activated, the timer
continues to count down and make a ticking sound.
Warning: To prevent eye damage, do not look into the light of the lamp when it is on. You
do not need to wear goggles as the InfraCare (300 W) has a special screen that filters out
UV light.
Duration of treatment
The duration of the treatment depends on the type of treatment and the person to be treated.
Treatment of a single muscle or joint should last approximately 15 minutes. If necessary, the treatment
can be repeated several times a day. You can repeat the series of several treatments a day on several
consecutive days to get a result. If there is no improvement after 6-8 treatments, stop using the device
and consult your doctor. For chronic problems, the device can be used for longer periods of time.
Follow the instructions for safe use (see 'Warning').
Warning: Always consult your doctor in case of doubt.
