Setup

Assembly is tool-free and takes around 30 minutes. Here's a quick overview before you get started.

  1. Choose your location.
  2. The XEN is indoor only and needs a flat, level surface with enough clearance to open the door fully.
  3. Lay out all panels and confirm everything from the In the box list is present before you begin.
  4. Snap the wall and roof panels together following the assembly guide (no tools required).
  5. Connect the infrared heating panels and red light panel to the control unit as indicated.
  6. Plug into a standard household outlet (110V).
  7. Power on and allow 20–30 minutes for the cabin to reach your target temperature.
  8. You must do this before your first session.

Your First Session

  • The XEN heats up in 20–30 minutes depending on your ambient room temperature. 
  • A good starting point is 140–150°F (6065˚C) you don't need to push straight to the maximum.

A few things worth knowing early on:

  • Enter a few degrees below your target temperature. Letting the heat build around you is more effective (and more comfortable!) than stepping into maximum heat.
  • Keep your first sessions to 20–30 minutes while your body adjusts. You can build from there.
  • Use the Red Light panel during your session, not just before or after. The dual wavelength works best with sustained exposure.
  • Chromotherapy is worth experimenting with. Blue and cooler tones are well suited to evening sessions; warmer tones work well for morning or pre-workout use.
  • The XEN produces a genuine sweat so go in well hydrated and rehydrate immediately after.
  • Evening sessions are particularly effective for sleep. The post-session core temperature drop is what triggers melatonin release. Give yourself 30–60 minutes between finishing and going to bed.

Care & Maintenance

After every session

  • Leave the door open for 15–20 minutes after use to air out the cabin and prevent moisture buildup.
  • Wipe down the glass door with a soft microfibre cloth if needed.
  • Place a towel on the bench during each session to protect the cedar. This is the single most important habit for long-term care.

Monthly

  • Vacuum the interior to clear cedar dust and fibre buildup.
  • Clean the glass door thoroughly with a soft microfibre cloth only.
  • Avoid abrasives, scrapers, or chemical sprays.
  • Use Sauna Timber Specific cleaners.

Quarterly

  • Keep ventilation areas around the unit clear.
  • Check nothing has accumulated around the base or panels.
  • Inspect all power cables and connections for visible damage, cracking, or looseness. If anything looks off, stop use and contact support before the next session.

General

  • Never place liquids, essential oils, or sprays inside the cabin.
  • Keep ventilation areas clear at all times.

Seasonal Storage

  • If storing for an extended period, run one final session before packing down to fully dry the interior and prevent moisture retention in the cedar panels.
  • Disassemble panels carefully and store flat or upright. Never stack heavy items on top of the panels as this can warp the cedar or crack the infrared elements.
  • Wipe all panels down with a dry microfibre cloth before storing. Do not use any moisture or cleaning products immediately before packing away.
  • Store in a dry, climate-controlled space away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations as both can cause the cedar to warp or split over time.
  • Do not store in garages or outdoor sheds where humidity, condensation, or temperature swings are common unless the space is well-insulated.
  • Wrap the infrared panels loosely in breathable material. Avoid airtight plastic wrapping which can trap moisture against the wood.
  • When reassembling after storage, power on and run an empty session for 20–30 minutes before use to bring the panels back to operating temperature and clear any residual moisture.
