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
- 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 a bedside table, tilt the lamp housing
backwards and lie down on the bed with one leg pulled up to
treat a sore calf (fig. 9).
3Adjust the direction of the light beam by tilting the lamp housing
forwards or backwards (fig. 10).
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.
ENGLISH 9
- 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.The green
power-on light will go on (fig. 11).
Cleaning
Unplug the appliance and let it cool down for about 15 minutes
before cleaning it.
Never use abrasive liquids such as scouring agents, petrol or acetone
to clean the appliance.
1Clean the lamp housing and the base with a moist cloth. Do not
let any water run into the appliance.

2You can clean the outside of the filter with a soft cloth sprinkled
with some methylated spirits.
