More and more people are prioritizing their health, and installing an infrared sauna at home offers both convenience and the ability to relax anytime. Do you know how to use the indoor infrared sauna control panel? Don’t worry, I’ll guide you through the process step by step, so you can learn how to use it and enjoy the sauna experience.

Preparation Before Use

Before using an infrared sauna, you need to make some preparations. This includes ensuring that the power cord and heating device are properly connected and checking that everything is working correctly before turning it on, as well as preparing your personal sauna accessories.

Check Power Supply and Safety Measures

Before using the device, first connect the power cord to the heating unit. After checking the connection, power on the device and verify that it is functioning correctly. Check that the infrared sauna control panel is in standby mode and that the power plug is securely connected to avoid any damage or malfunctions during operation. Also, ensure that the grounding wire is properly connected to prevent electrical shock or leakage, thus ensuring safety.

Prepare Your Personal Items and Sauna Accessories

During a sauna, the body sweats profusely as the air inside the sauna room heats up. Therefore, it’s recommended to have drinking water on hand to stay hydrated. Towels should also be available for wiping sweat, or they can be used to cover the seats to maintain cleanliness. Using sauna accessories such as a sauna timer and a sauna thermometer​ helps to control the sauna time and temperature effectively. To create a more relaxing atmosphere, you can also add a few drops of essential oil to a sauna aroma bowl to release a pleasant fragrance and enhance the overall experience.

Infrared Sauna Rooms by Alphasauna

Infrared saunas are available in both indoor and outdoor models, with a variety of designs including square and barrel shapes, allowing for customization according to your preferences. They primarily use heating panels to generate heat for the sauna experience, and these panels are available in various materials: microcrystalline glass carbon fiber, carbon fiber, or mica, giving customers a choice.

Furthermore, we offer customizable infrared sauna control panels. Our infrared sauna control panels are available in two styles: push-button and touch-screen. The push-button version is made of polypropylene (PP), which boasts corrosion resistance, excellent insulation, and is recyclable. The vertical touch-screen version, on the other hand, is constructed from an alloy (ABS + PC), a combination of two materials for durability, high temperature resistance, and enhanced aesthetics.

Indoor Infrared Sauna Rooms

Our indoor infrared sauna rooms offer a variety of styles, including single-person barrel-shaped, 1-2 person rectangular, and multi-person designs. The front features large glass panels for a bright and airy feel. The main structure is made of modular infrared heating panels and high-quality wood, ensuring easy installation and long-lasting durability. The interior is fully equipped with an infrared sauna control panel. The backrest and seat bottom are embedded with infrared heating panels, and the top is equipped with LED lights, temperature probes, and an audio system to create a comfortable atmosphere. The seating can be customized to suit your needs, with options for L-shaped layouts or tiered seating, accommodating various space requirements. The infrared sauna control panel is conveniently located on the inside wall, allowing easy adjustment of temperature, time, and music via buttons.

Outdoor Infrared Sauna Rooms

The front of the outdoor infrared sauna rooms features a design with glass windows and doors, providing a wide view of the surrounding scenery. Infrared heating panels are installed on the backrest and seat base for a comfortable and even heat distribution. The infrared sauna control panel is located on the central wall and includes a temperature sensor to monitor the sauna temperature in real time, ensuring safety. To withstand outdoor conditions, the saunas require a sturdy base, either made of fiberglass or a wooden base, for moisture resistance, durability, and stability.

The infrared heating panel heats up to approximately 65 degrees Celsius. For a higher temperature sauna experience, you can also install the microcrystalline glass carbon fiber heater tube inside the sauna room. These are usually designed to be mounted on the backrest and can be flexibly installed in various locations other than the glass panels.
Adding infrared sauna heaters not only speeds up the heating process in a sauna room, but as our Alphasauna tests have shown, with infrared sauna heaters, the temperature in an infrared sauna can rise from 65°C to 75°C in just 45 minutes. It can also provide targeted red light therapy for specific areas of the body, further enhancing the sauna’s effectiveness and user experience.
