If handled properly and according to the instructions in this user manual, the appliance is safe to use based on scientific evidence available today. EnglisH using the appliance the effects of the infracare The InfraCare produces infrared light, which penetrates deeply into the skin and warms the tissues. The warmth modulates the neuronal signals to the brain and thus reduces pain. Warmth also stimulates the blood circulation and dilates the blood vessels, which accelerates the transpor t of substances necessar y to rebuild and nourish the body’s tissues. Fur thermore, infrared light speeds up the metabolic process and the removal of waste substances from the body. Because it makes tissue more pliable, warmth also reduces stiffness and makes joints more flexible. Because of these effects, treatment with the InfraCare can temporarily relieve pain due to muscle and joint problems. Note: Please read the ‘Warning’ section in chapter ‘Important’ and follow the instructions given there before you use the appliance. applications therapeutic applications The InfraCare is a local warmth therapy appliance. Possible therapeutic applications: -Treatment of occasional or chronic muscle pains, stiff muscles and stiff joints. -Treatment of lower-back ache. other applications You can also use the InfraCare for the following purposes: -Muscle relaxation -Preparation for a massage Note: For more information about the health benefits, see search word InfraCare (Fig. 5). Preparing for use 1 2 Place the pedestal on a stable, level surface (Fig. 6). Insert the pedestal tube into the pedestal until it locks into place (Fig. 7). Note:There is only one way to attach the tube to the pedestal. 3 Attach the lamp housing to the top of the pedestal tube (Fig. 8). To make sure all parts are properly assembled, check if the spring-loaded lock buttons are visible in the holes. 4 Make sure there is at least 35cm free space around the appliance to prevent overheating (Fig. 9). Thanks to the pedestal, you can use the appliance in many different positions. Below you find some examples. -To treat your back from shoulders to hips, place the appliance beside a bed, with the lamp housing in highest position and tilted down. Lie down comfor tably on your belly (Fig. 10). -To treat your back, place the appliance beside a bed, with the lamp housing in lowest position. Lie down comfor tably on one side (Fig. 11). -To treat your upper back and shoulders, place the appliance behind a chair or other seat, with the lamp housing in horizontal position. Sit down comfor tably with your back towards the appliance (Fig. 12). -To treat your back, place the appliance beside a chair or stool, with the lamp housing in ver tical position. Sit down comfor tably with your back towards the appliance (Fig. 13). Tip: Small persons who want to treat their lower back while sitting on a chair can put their feet on a low footstool for more comfort. EnglisH 9 Tip:Tall persons who want to treat their lower back can lie down on a bed with their back towards the appliance. -To treat your hip and upper leg, place the appliance beside a chair, with the lamp housing in horizontal position. Sit down comfor tably on a chair or stool (Fig. 14). 5 Adjust the lamp housing. To avoid getting your fingers stuck when you adjust the height, hold the lamp housing by one of the handgrips or by the hinge as long as the height adjustment rings are unlocked. Note:The pedestal tube consists of three parts and two height adjustment rings.You can adjust the height with both rings. -To adjust the height of the InfraCare, hold the lamp housing by one of the handgrips or the hinge with one hand while you turn the height adjustment rings with the other hand. -Turn the height adjustment ring anticlockwise until the ‘unlocked’ symbol is visible through the hole in the ring (1).Then pull up the lamp housing or push it down to the desired height (2) (Fig. 15). -When you have set the lamp housing to the desired height, turn the height adjustment ring clockwise until the ‘locked’ symbol is visible through the hole in the ring.The height adjustment ring is now locked and the height of the lamp housing is fixed (Fig. 16). - To tilt the lamp housing upwards or downwards, grasp it by its handgrips and move it to the desired position (Fig. 17). -To put the lamp housing in ver tical or horizontal position, grasp it by its handgrips and turn it to the required position (Fig. 18). -Make sure the pedestal base is horizontal. If it is placed at an angle, the appliance switches off automatically (Fig. 19). 6 Sit or lie down at the right distance from the appliance. -At a distance of 40-50cm to the body, the InfraCare treats an area of about 40cm by 60cm. At a larger distance, the area treated becomes larger and the infrared light and therefore the heat less intense. At a smaller distance, the area treated is smaller and the infrared light and therefore the heat more intense. -Make sure the distance bet...
