Does the sauna produce any strange smells?

Yes, new saunas may produce strange smells due to the off-gassing of materials used in construction. This is a common occurrence with many infrared saunas, including the Dynamic Saunas model. Typically, this smell dissipates after a few uses, especially if the sauna is properly ventilated.

The odors often stem from the wood and electronic components, which can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It's advisable to run the sauna for a couple of hours at a high temperature with the door open or use a fan to circulate air. This helps to mitigate any unpleasant smells.

For instance, if you first start using the sauna and notice a plastic-like smell, this is usually temporary. After several sessions, the scent should significantly reduce, indicating the sauna is off-gassing less.

Pro Tip: Consider running the sauna at a high temperature for a few hours before your first use to eliminate odors.

Consideration: If the smell persists beyond a few weeks, it may indicate a problem with the materials used, and you should contact customer service.
