Abstract:
A method of treating by radiating far infrared rays from a far infrared radiator, the method comprising the steps of:presetting control conditions of the far infrared radiator;supplying current to the far infrared radiator for radiating the far infrared rays toward an object to be heated for a predetermined period of time;sensing a temperature of the object to be heated with a temperature sensor;disconnecting the supply of current to the far infrared radiator, for a predetermined disconnecting time, once the temperature of the object to be heated reaches a maximum temperature limit to interrupt the supply of the far infrared rays from the far infrared radiator;preventing the far infrared radiator from radiating the far infrared rays toward the object to be heated until the predetermined disconnecting period of time has completely elapsed regardless of the temperature of the object to be heated; andrepeating the steps of supplying current to the far infrared radiator and disconnecting the supply of current to the far infrared radiator until a predetermined time for treatment with the far infrared heating apparatus has elapsed.
