Introduction

With the InfraCare you can comfortably treat muscular problems and

relieve pain at home. Just like the sun, the appliance emits infrared light.

The special filter only passes the type of light required to achieve the

intended therapeutic effect.

Using the appliance

The effect of the InfraCare

The InfraCare produces infrared light, which penetrates deeply into the

skin.This warms the skin, dilating the blood vessels and thus stimulating

blood circulation.

The blood transports the substances necessary for rebuilding and

nourishing the body's tissues more rapidly, while at the same time

waste substances are removed more quickly.

This means treatment with the InfraCare can relieve muscular problems

and pain.

Therapeutic applications

The InfraCare is a local warmth therapy appliance.

Possible applications:

- Treatment for occasional or chronic muscle pains, stiff muscles and

stiff joints

- Treatment of lower-back ache (lumbago)

- Treatment of chilblains

- Preparation for another treatment such as a massage

- Treatment of sprains and bruises

- Treatment of common colds

- To relieve pain, e.g. due to rheumatic disorders

Preparing for use

1Fully unwind the mains cord.

2Place the appliance on a stable, level surface and make sure there

is at least 15 cm free space around it to prevent overheating

(fig. 5).

The appliance can be used in many different ways. Below you find some

examples.

◗Place the appliance on a table, tilt the lamp housing backwards

and sit down on a chair or stool with your back towards the

lamp to treat a sore shoulder or a sore neck or part of your

upper back area (fig. 6).

◗Place the appliance on a table beside a chair and sit down on a

chair or stool with your back towards the lamp to treat a lower-

back ache (fig. 7).

◗Place the appliance on a table and sit down beside it to treat a

sore elbow (fig. 8).

◗Place the appliance on the floor, tilt the lamp housing backwards

and sit down on a chair or stool to treat a sore calf (fig. 9).

◗To treat a common cold, place the appliance on a table and sit

down on a chair in front of the appliance.Tilt the lamp housing

backwards so that the beam of light is directed towards your face

(fig. 10).

3Adjust the direction of the light beam by tilting the lamp housing

forwards or backwards (fig. 11).

ENGLISH 9

4Sit or lie down at the right distance from the appliance.

- At a distance of 25-30 cm to the body, the InfraCare treats an area

of about 30 cm by 20 cm (w x h). At a larger distance, the area

treated becomes larger and the infrared light and therefore the

warmth less intense. At a smaller distance, the area treated is

smaller and the infrared light and therefore the warmth more

intense.

- Make sure the distance between your body and the appliance is

large enough to prevent accidental contact with the hot filter.

- Choose a distance at which the heat is comfortable.

BPlease note that the warmth of the appliance does not reach its full

intensity until several minutes after switching the appliance on.This does

not mean, however, that the appliance is not effective during these first

minutes.

Duration of treatment

The duration of the treatment depends on the person to be treated

and the type of use.We recommend a few short treatments a day, e.g.

2 treatments of 15 minutes, on a number of consecutive days to get a

result.

BPractice has shown that a few short treatments a day produce a better

result than one longer treatment.

Always consult your doctor in case of doubt!

Using the InfraCare

1Insert the plug into a wall socket.

2Switch the appliance on by pressing the on/off button.

Cleaning

Unplug the appliance and let it cool down for about 15 minutes

before cleaning it.
