- To adjust the height of the appliance, hold the lamp housing by one of the handgrips or the
hinge with one hand while you turn the height adjustment rings with the other hand.
- Turn the height adjustment ring anticlockwise until the 'unlocked' symbol is visible through the
hole in the ring (1). Then pull up the lamp housing or push it down to the desired height (2)
(Fig. 14).
- When you have set the lamp housing to the desired height, turn the height adjustment ring
clockwise until the 'locked' symbol is visible through the hole in the ring. The height adjustment
ring is now locked and the height of the lamp housing is fixed (Fig. 15).
- To tilt the lamp housing upwards or downwards, grasp it by its handgrips and move it to the
desired position (Fig. 16).
- To put the lamp housing in vertical or horizontal position, grasp it by its handgrips and turn it to
the required position (Fig. 17).
- Make sure the pedestal base is horizontal (Fig. 18).
6 Sit or lie down at the right distance from the appliance.
- At a distance of 40-50cm to the body, the appliance heats an area of about 40cm by 60cm. At a
larger distance, the area heated becomes larger and the infrared light and therefore the heat
less intense. At a smaller distance, the area heated is smaller and the infrared light and therefore
the heat more intense.
- Make sure the distance between your body and the appliance is large enough to prevent
accidental contact with the hot filter.
- Choose a distance at which the heat is comfortable and increase the distance if
the heat becomes too intense.
Note: The heat of the appliance does not reach its full intensity until several minutes after you switch on
the appliance. This does not mean, however, that the appliance is not effective during these first minutes.
Duration of use
The duration of use depends on the person and the type of use. Heating a single muscle or
joint should last approximately 15 minutes. If necessary, the appliance can be used several times a
day. A longer usage time than approximately 15 minutes does not lead to better results. You can
repeat the course of several uses a day on several consecutive days to get a result. If there is no
improvement after 6-8 uses, stop using the appliance and consult your doctor. In case of chronic
problems, the appliance can be used for longer periods of time, as long as you follow the
instructions in the 'Warning' section in chapter 'Important'.
Using the infrared heater
1 Put the mains plug in the wall socket.
2 Place the light in the right position and make sure there is enough free space around the light.
3 Set the on/off switch to 'I' to switch on the appliance (Fig. 19).
The power-on light goes on (Fig. 20).
,
The appliance stays on for approx. 15 minutes and then automatically switches off.
,
If you want to use the appliance longer, simply press the on/off switch again.
