So your infrared sauna has arrived. You can’t wait to try it. Cool down. Don’t push it. There are some steps left before you can enjoy your brand new infrared sauna.

Begin with checking that your packages contain. Find an instruction manual or some other piece of paper with all of the parts listed. Identify all of them, check for defects.

Your next goal is to become familiar with assembly process. It is very important to show some patience and to read sauna manual to understand how you will bring it all together. If you won’t be confident with assembly steps you can make a mistake that will cost you time to disassemble and assemble the sauna again. Even worse, you can break or scratch something.

If you’re not decided where to place your sauna yet, then it's right time to think about it. If you’re owner of a classic infrared sauna cabin then look at the power cord and plug provided with the sauna. Make sure that it has expected type and fits your outlet. If you don’t have an outlet preinstalled then call your electrician to install it, or do it yourself if you have sufficient experience.

When you know where your sauna will be standing, have an electrical outlet for it and understand all assembly steps then it is time to begin to put it’s all together. No need to hurry, make each step with confidence and knowledge. If you’re not sure consult with manual. Remember that it is the first time when you assemble this sauna model and there is nothing wrong with doing it slow. Well, I know I’m overemphasizing, but be careful anyway.

After that make the final touch and clean your sauna with damp cloth both inside and outside. The last step is to check that it works. Return to the instruction manual and read about controls. Then plug the cord in the outlet and turn on the sauna. Check that all lights and control panel work properly. If your sauna has an audio or a video system you need to check its functions too. Set the timer of your sauna for a typical session or slightly more (30-40 minutes) and wait. Don’t go in as in case of malfunction you can harm your health. Check that in process and after there are no suspicious smells or smoke, that all heaters work (don’t touch them, just place your arm before the heater and you should feel heat if it works). I recommend leaving your sauna open for a couple of days to let all manufacture smells to flow out.
