The Energy Sauna heats up faster and reaches a higher temperature than a traditional cabin infrared sauna. To maximize its heat potential, use the provided white curtain to trap in heat, and place a large, thick towel over the curtain for added insulation. Additionally, ensure the Energy Sauna is placed on an insulated, flat surface such as carpet, a rug, or a mat to prevent heat from escaping into a cold floor, like floorboards, tiles, or concrete.
