A sauna is a heat-generating product, and because of such nature, wood selection is extremely important in the sauna building. Far North Saunas' feature: The highest quality Grade 'A' Canadian Western Red Cedar. In their own Lumber Mill, they directly control the entire process from raw material and selection to the finished sauna. They only use the finest quality, hand-picked center-cut wood. The entire manufacturing process and high-quality construction begin with the selection of the proper raw materials.

Enlighten Sauna's Canadian office directly purchases the best quality Western Red Cedar Wood from British Columbia, Canada. Lumber is shipped to their 200,000 square-foot factory. The finest center-cut parts are chosen and immediately fresh-air dried for 4 weeks to preserve the beauty and natural elements of the wood. Each piece of lumber is visually inspected and handpicked. Lumber must have a clear & vertical grain (avoiding the flat grain). Very few companies in the industry have the ability of exclusivity in choosing the finest lumber, as they do.

Enlighten Sauna guarantees that all the products they build are made from non-toxic materials. Environmental Report, they are one of the only companies on the market who can make this statement. They only use non-toxic glue in their products and components.

INITIAL DRY

When the lumber arrives at the factory, the lumber is first sorted by length, size, grade, & grain. All wood must go through a drying phase before milling begins. To prevent any collapsing of the wood, the lumber sits in the yard for a minimum of three weeks. “Collapsing" means the fiber cells of the wood shrink due to water retention and microbial distress. If collapsing occurs, it can cause defects in the surface of the lumber. Collapsing is not a usual phenomenon, however, they take a precaution to ensure proper drying and monitor the entire process.

AIR DRYING LUMBER

THEY TAKE THEIR TIME! Lumber is then ripped into various sizes for sauna panels. Chosen pieces are then air-dried further. As said in a prior description of the process, shrinkage (or collapsing) causes changes to the lumber which can result in poor fitting panels. This would be detrimental to the quality of their sauna product. Therefore, they avoid any poorly dried lumber by only choosing the best air-dried pieces to be used for production.

KILN DRYING LUMBER

Once an air-dry process is complete, the blanks are then placed in their high-quality kilns. The most important step before production is the Kiln Drying. Lumber will reach its best moisture content in kilns. Many companies have problems as they only air-dry their lumber and it drops its moisture content to 20%, which is too high for stability and may result in mold, rotting, and shorter lifespan. It is important to not rush the drying process. Therefore, the final and ready-to-build lumber will contain 6-8% of moisture. Once this is achieved, the final product is beautiful, strong, and durable wood which now can be used for building.

INDOOR (NOT CONVERTIBLE):

• You don't have to leave your home.
• Beautiful enhancement/decor.
• Limited space.
• Cannot be used outdoors.

With an indoor infrared sauna – that is all you get – you do not have the option of the outdoor conversion because the materials an indoor sauna is built with, are not suited to withstand nature's elements. In addition, the heaters in an indoor sauna will take longer to heat up due to the outdoor climate changes.

OUTDOOR (CONVERTIBLE):

• Your imagination really is the limit in terms of location, size, and appearance.
• Requires better quality outer-paneling and insulation to protect it from nature's elements.
• Enlighten Outdoor saunas are built with thicker wood material and duly insulated walls.
• Carbon and full spectrum heaters that heat up fast, and a tile floor for easy cleaning and maintenance.
• Getting the option of two saunas for the price of one! Easy conversion to an indoor.

Enlighten saunas give you the option - should your circumstances change - to convert your outdoor unit into an indoor infrared sauna. All Enlighten saunas come with a standard flat roof but are also equipped with an easy-to-remove shingle roof for indoor conversion. The two deciding factors are - space preference and the amount of cost.

1. LOW EMF CARBON HEATERS - Ultra Carbon is an exclusive high output infrared heater. Our LOW EMF advanced heater design produces infrared heat at the optimal wavelengths. Our heaters are actually manufactured in the same facilities and with the same specifications as heaters used in many of the more expensive home and commercial saunas on the market today. Our heaters are made side by side with theirs. We then utilize a thicker substrate (Ultra) than most commercially rated heaters, so the output, durability, and longevity of our heaters are increased substantially. You will not find a better-performing heater, anywhere.
2. ZERO EMF CARBON/CERAMIC HEATERS - Zero EMF Carbon / Ceramic Heaters, which do not turn red hot, but instead produce invisible, far-infrared heat. This combination provides a higher level of infrared that can be attained, which also results in an even, safe, surface temperature that is more comfortable for the user. Furthermore, no unhealthy gasses will be emitted during heating due to its unique manufacturing methods. Our heaters offer well-rounded and safe heat therapy, with all the benefits that an infrared sauna should deliver. Zero EMF is emitted, therefore, you can relax knowing your sauna is free of electromagnetic fields and you are utilizing your sauna's benefit to its full effect.
3. FULL SPECTRUM HEATERS - The Full Spectrum is an exclusive and unique heating technology with proprietary blends of wavelengths - Near (NIR), Far (FIR) and Mid (MIR)- that are fully customizable across the entire infrared spectrum to consistently deliver your desired health result. With Full Spectrum there is optimal wavelength - 99% - tissue radiance/penetration nearer to the surface of the skin.

Near infrared waves have a shorter frequency range and penetrate the epidermis layer of the skin:

• Health/Immunity
• Wound Healing
• Skin Rejuvenation
• Pain Relief

Mid infrared wavelengths penetrate deeper into the body, they are beneficial for increasing circulation.

• Pain relief
• Improved Circulation
• Weight Loss

Far infrared sauna therapy heats the body directly rather than simply warming the air, it raises the core body temperature and produces a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level, where most toxins reside.

• Weight Loss
• Detoxification
• Blood Pressure Reduction
• Relaxation

"EMF" stands for an electromagnetic field, which is an invisible electrical and magnetic force. Everything generates its own magnetic field. The Earth has its own Geo-Magnetic Field. This field/wave causes an imaginary energy line from North to South which is used by animals for navigation. The human body also generates a field of energy (Aura or Bio-Field)- a low-frequency magnetic field, which creates an EMF of about 10 hertz. Our bodies consist of tiny electric currents that aid our normal bodily functions (digestion, elimination, brain activity, etc.). The strength of our Bio-Field determines our health.

Artificial electromagnetic fields are caused by human activities and technologies (from appliances, cell phones to high voltage wires). These fields are generally higher and stronger than our own. When we come near a high voltage wiring or any other high electric field, we become the "conductive material" through which these currents then flow to the ground. High EMFs cancel our own bio-field and significantly lower our body's ability to regenerate and heal.

Prolonged exposure to high EMFs (Electromagnetic Fields), disrupts our normal biological processes, therefore, creating biological stress and may result in major health risks.

We take safety measures very seriously and our entire product line is carefully tested for any EMF. We are proud to be certified as low EMF emission.

Widely published, peer-reviewed scientific studies document: EMF exposure above 3 mG will start to develop biological stress which can lead to: cancer and possible immune system effects, it has been known to suppress the human hormone melatonin (critical for sleep, mood regulation, and overall health). Other minor side effects: headaches, tinnitus, fatigue, nausea, stress, poor concentration, sleep disorder, pain, burning sensation, skin conditions, and rashes. Mental disorders are the most common in over-exposure to EMFs.

Enlighten Sauna's number one focus is your health and safety. Our infrared heaters are the most effective and safest infrared heaters available - our patent-pending infrared heater technology reduces the EMF levels where you are sitting in the sauna to virtually zero. Our exclusive manufacturing process allows us to cancel out EMF to levels that are virtually undetectable.

Enlighten Outdoor Sauna offers Zero EMFs. In addition, all saunas by Enlighten Sauna offer the lowest and safest EMF levels of any infrared sauna on the market.

Using ultra-sensitive EMF testing equipment, all of our heaters are tested to ensure safe levels of EMF. Electro Magnetic Fields are measured in milligauss (mG). It is generally accepted that exposure to EMF should not exceed 3 milligauss. The EPA (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) has proposed a safety standard of 3 mG.

The easiest way to shield EMF is to cover electricity flow with metal. Enlighten Sauna uses steel conduits around its wiring within the walls of our saunas. On the carbon heaters themselves, however, a metal covering would also block the infrared waves. Because Enlighten saunas emit an insignificant level of EMF, they are left uncovered for maximum far infrared output. We are committed to offering the safest sauna available in the market today.

Enlighten saunas give from 0 to 3 mG! Virtually 0 mG at a distance to your body.

DISCLAIMER: The Sauna and its affiliates do not provide medical advice, education, or treatment. This information is for general information purposes only and does not address individual circumstances or medical conditions. It may not be right for you and should not be relied upon in making decisions about your health. Always consult your doctor for medical advice.

Allow your sauna to warm up for 15-20 minutes or until it reaches 110F° (43°C). You may close the vent on the ceiling to speed up the preheating process. Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration before and after the sauna session. It is recommended not to exceed 40 minutes per session. If the sauna becomes stuffy, open the vent on the ceiling to allow fresh air into the sauna.

Tips:

• Start using the sauna within 10 degrees before it reaches the set temperature, in order to receive the most benefit out of the infrared heaters. For example, if you set the sauna to 125F° (52°C), you should start using the sauna when it reaches 115F° (46°C).
• Customers reported an average use temperature of 125 F° (52°C).

Precautions and Warnings!

• If the temperature becomes unbearable, decrease the temperature or shut off the sauna immediately.
• Do not use if pregnant or have serious inflammation, fever, a communicable disease, acute bleeding, or are intoxicated.
• Do not consume alcohol or drugs when using the sauna.
• Do not splash water on the heaters or any electrical component inside the sauna.
• Do not bring wet towels into your sauna or any substances that could harm the interior of your sauna.
• Do not install a lock on your sauna.
• All repairs need to be authorized by the supplier's representative; otherwise, the product warranty may be voided.

Note: Although an Infrared Sauna is very health beneficial to the human body, it may not be for everyone. The customer acknowledges his/her responsibilities as the sauna user at his/her own risk. Children under 6 years of age should not be using an infrared sauna! Customers should discuss with a pediatrician/family physician before considering their minor child/youth (6-18 years) joining them in infrared sauna sessions. Children and minors under 18 years of age should ALWAYS be accompanied by an adult. NEVER leave your children unattended and/or alone in an infrared sauna booth, and always monitor your child's comfort level. Children are more sensitive to heat than adults, so please ensure their safety and comfort first. If you are nursing or pregnant, please discuss with your physician before using any sauna products.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Make sure to always keep the sauna dry and clean. Use a clean damp towel to wipe off the bench, floor, and around the back panel.
• DO NOT use a towel that is too wet and can drip water inside the sauna and DO NOT use cleaning agents inside the sauna.
• DO NOT leave towels, water glasses, or bottles inside the sauna after use. Wipe the exterior surface of the sauna with a towel and clean the glass at least once a month.

Wood Care

• If the sauna exterior body has become scratched or scuffed, it could be concealed by using a small amount of furniture polish, oil, or other furniture treatment. The interior blemishes, scratches, or scuffs can be either left alone, sanded or a combination of gluing plus sanding. Avoid any treatment containing benzene or a high concentration of alcohol.
• Outdoor models' body need to be maintained on a regular basis (between 6 months to a year) by polishing or resealing the body as needed. If the varnish is cracked or worn off, sand the surface and re-varnish the affected area.
• Consult your local handyman or furniture repair professional for more details on how to maintain the wood in an outdoor environment.
