User Manual for Salus Saunas Sparkle Infrared Sauna

Quick guide from the manual

The Salus Saunas Sparkle is an infrared sauna designed for indoor use only. It requires a dedicated 120VAC 15 AMP circuit. The sauna uses infrared radiant energy to heat the body directly rather than heating the air, providing a comfortable experience at lower temperatures than traditional saunas. Always consult a physician before use if you have health conditions, are pregnant, or are taking prescription medications.

Assembly Instructions

Assembly requires two adults, a Philips screwdriver, and a ladder. The sauna is pre-assembled and tested at the factory, but requires final assembly of the panels.

1. Location: Choose a dry, level area away from water sources. Ensure the main power cord is easily accessible.
2. Floor Panel: Place the floor panel in the desired location. Check for wood braces on the underside if applicable.
3. Wall Panels: Install the rear wall panel, then the side wall panels. Use the external buckles to secure the panels together.
4. Front Panel: Attach the front wall panel with the glass door to the side panels using the buckles.
5. Bench: Install the bench heat emitter panel and the bench. Ensure the smooth side of the bench faces upward.
6. Roof Panel: Carefully feed wires through the roof panel holes and place the roof panel on top of the wall panels.
7. Connections: Connect all wiring harnesses (CTRL, heater cords, speakers, etc.) according to their labels on the roof.
8. Radio: Assemble the radio housing box and install the radio unit.
9. Roof Cover: Place the roof cover over the top and secure it with screws.

• Start: Press the START/WORK button to begin heating.
• Preheating: It typically takes 20-30 minutes to preheat to 50°C (122°F).

Safety and Maintenance

• Hydration: Drink water before, during, and after your session.
• Cooling: Do not shower immediately after use; allow your body to cool down for about 20 minutes.
• Cleaning: Wipe the interior with a soft cloth and water. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Safety: Never sleep in the sauna. Do not stack items on top of the sauna. Do not use during electrical storms.

Troubleshooting

• No Heat: Check all heater cord connections, especially those on the roof and under the bench. If some emitters work, the non-working ones may be damaged.
• Control Panel Issues: If the panel is unresponsive, check the 'CTRL' connection on the roof for bent pins or loose fit.
• No Power: Check the wall outlet and main circuit breaker. Ensure the power supply on the roof is not damaged and press the RESET button if necessary.
