Operating Instructions SRL 100 A1-51/2013-1.05
The housing becomes very
hot when the appliance is
switched on – danger of
burns!
Heat sensitivity may be
reduced after taking
painkillers and anaesthetics,
after local anaesthetic and
by certain illnesses.
In these cases, the distance
must be at least 80 cm.
1) Use the infrared emitter only
with a Philips R95 E27,
230 V, 100 W infrared bulb.
Do not use any other bulb and
if any bulb is purchased
subsequently, ensure that it is
identical with the version
supplied here.
2) Do not place any flammable
objects in the area of
irradiation: combs, spectacle
frames etc. can catch fire and
textiles may be singed.
3) Avoid sudden cooling
(e.g. of the head) immediately
after treatment.
4) Protect the lamp from
strong impacts, including
setting down harshly.
5) Remember not to put the
appliance away immediately
after switching it off, but allow
it to cool first for a few
minutes.
6) Disconnection from the
mains supply is only
guaranteed if the plug is
removed from the socket.
Intended Use
The device is only intended for heat
treatment of the human body. The infrared
lamp is designed solely for use in private
households and is not intended for
commercial use. Any other use or
modification to the appliance does not
constitute an intended use and is
fundamentally forbidden. No liability can
be assumed for damage caused by use
for purposes other than the intended use
or in the event of improper operation.
Introduction
It is a long-known fact that heat is able
to relieve discomfort and accelerate the
healing process in many instances. The
infrared lamp is a particularly effective
source of this heat, with its infrared rays
penetrating the skin deep into the
underlying tissue.
Initial Use
Place the appliance on a level surface
and insert the mains plug into a properly
installed plug socket. The infrared lamp
will be illuminated.
Danger
If the mains cable is damaged,
it must be replaced only by a
repair workshop nominated by
the manufacturer (see
guarantee card), in order to
avoid any danger.
This appliance is designed
solely for use in private
households, not for
commercial use.
Keep the operating instruc-
tions in a safe place and pass
them on with the appliance.
Special Safety
Precautions
When using infrared emitters
The unit must not be used
for serious conditions
(diabetes, skin cancer, heart
disease, acute inflammation,
multiple sclerosis,
thrombosis, blood clotting
problems), skin conditions
or if seemingly harmless
symptoms last too long! In
such cases, consult a
doctor. If you have taken
painkillers or consumed
alcohol, only use the
appliance on your doctor’s
advice as your sensitivity to
heat may be impaired.
The IR radiation of the unit
can damage the cornea and
retina. When using the
appliance, always keep your
eyes closed.
Do not use the appliance
near to bathtubs,
washbasins or other vessels
containing water. There is a
danger even when the
appliance is switched off.
Remove the plug from the
mains socket after use.
Installing a residual-current
protector with a nominal trigger
current of no more than 30 mA
offers additional protection.
Contact your electrician.
Ensure that the voltage
specified on the light bulb is
the same as that of the local
mains supply.
