• During pregnancy.
• During the menstrual cycle (risk of haemorrhage)
• If you are still growing
• If you are under the effect of alcohol, strong medicines or
drugs.
WHY YOU SHOULD TAKE A SAUNA:
It has a relaxing effect on muscles and a pain-killing action. As
it removes dead cells, the skin becomes more luminous and
elastic and offers greater resistance to atmospheric agents.
It improves the blood and lymphatic circulation. It is
particularly suitable for athletes as it helps recovery, speeding
up the digestion of toxins and lactic acid.
A sauna does not have a slimming effect; weight lost during
a session is linked to the loss of fluids which will be recovered
by drinking after coming out of the sauna.
WARNINGS:
• Never hang clothes inside the sauna, as they could be a fire
hazard.
• Do not touch the heater when it is hot as it could cause
burns.
• Before using it, consult your doctor about the risks the sauna
could cause for your health.
• Never put water in the sauna and, if it should happen, make
sure you dry it immediately.
• When you throw water onto the stones, be extremely careful
as the steam released could cause burns!
CLEANING THE SHOWER UNIT:
Sauna compartment maintenance:
The sauna box is made of untreated wood.
As it is a natural fibre, after several sessions, cracks may
appear. As these are linked to the natural aging of the wood,
they are not considered harmful either for the structural
integrity or the correct operation of the sauna.
We recommend towels are used to protect the wood from
sweat. When necessary, the wood surface should be cleaned
using a product designed specially for saunas.
To clean the floor and the stove, remove the dirt and dust
then wipe with a damp cloth.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
The cubicle panels are made with acrylic parts and must be
cleaned using a liquid detergent and a soft cloth or sponge.
Use a good quality household liquid detergent. To prevent
scale deposits, wipe dry using a chammy leather or a soft lint-
free cloth that removes stubborn deposits without leaving
traces. Limescale deposits may be removed using specific
detergent products. To restore shine to the acrylic surface
polish with an ordinary wax polish such as car wax. DO NOT
USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, ALCOHOL OR ALCOHOL BASED
PRODUCTS, ACETONE OR OTHER SOLVENTS.
Dismantling the shower valves:
In the event of the formation of lime scale and a resulting
malfunctioning of the shower valves, dismantle the parts
(fig. A, B, C...). We recommend you immerse the cartridge in
normal vinegar until it is completely lime scale-free.
PRODUCT GUARANTEE:
All products purchased by consumers, as defined in Article
3 of the Consumer Code (Legislative Decree no. 206 of 6

subsequent amendments of the consumer Code. In case of
lack of conformity of the product, we invite the consumer to

WATER TREATMENT
• The hardness of the domestic water supply affects the
operation and the cleaning frequency of the thermostatic
mixer and boiler unit.
• In case of water with hardness above 15°f an antiscale device
is recommended. The choice of device should be made
according to the characteristics of the water supply.
