Operating The HotBoxSauna

Before Your Session:

Preheat your Hot Box.
Drink one or two glasses of water.
Place a towel on the floor of your Hot Box to catch sweat (optional).
Remove jewelry and electronic devices, as they may overheat.

During Your Session:

Enter the Hot Box using the handle and step in carefully.
Lower yourself and close the lid completely.
Relax and allow your body to sweat.
Start with 5-10 minutes per session if you are new to sauna use. Increase by 5-minute increments weekly until you reach your desired duration. Do not exceed 60 minutes in one session.

After Your Session:

Wipe down your sauna and close the lid.
Drink plenty of water to rehydrate.

Maintaining Your HotBoxSauna

To clean, use a mild organic soap and water.
If exposed to the elements, you may choose to re-oil your Hot Box yearly using an MCT oil kit.
For bulb replacements, use the recommended wattage:
- 250W for Standard
- 375W for XL

FAQ

What if the door or slider gets stuck?

The sliding lid is designed with a track and trolley system using six stainless steel wheels in a machined groove. If the lid doesn’t roll open, lift the front roof panel up and out for a secondary exit.

Is maintenance required for the Hot Box?

Oiling is not required, but you can oil your Hot Box annually to maintain the wood’s longevity and appearance. We offer an oil care kit on our website.

Can I place my sauna outside?

Yes, the Hot Box can be placed indoors or outdoors, as long as it is covered. Recommended locations include covered patios, carports, and garages. We also offer protective covers for purchase. Keeping your Hot Box indoors will help maximize longevity and efficiency, especially in colder months.
