Overview
The Maxxus MX-K356-01 CED 3-Person Corner Low EMF Cedar FAR Infrared Sauna brings a dedicated far-infrared sauna experience to an indoor home wellness space. Constructed from natural Canadian Red Cedar, this corner-style sauna combines seating for up to three people with nine integrated carbon heating panels, a bronze-tinted tempered-glass door and built-in audio.
Unlike the Maxxus Near Zero EMF corner model, the MX-K356-01 CED is the Low EMF FAR infrared configuration. Golden Designs describes an EMF range of 5–10 milligauss measured approximately 2–3 inches from the heater panels; this is a manufacturer-reported panel measurement, not a zero-EMF claim or an independent certification for the whole cabin.
The heater layout includes three panels on each rear wall, two under the bench and one in the floorboard. Additional features include oversized interior chromotherapy lighting, a red-light setting, exterior accent lighting and a sound system with FM radio, Bluetooth and an MP3 auxiliary connection. The current manufacturer listing specifies an interior touchscreen control panel, although older LED-control stock may still exist.
Its corner installation footprint is particularly important to check: the manufacturer lists 60" W × 60" D × 75" H for the cabinet and an additional 9.4-inch roof overhang in the depth direction. This is an indoor residential sauna that requires a dedicated 120V/20A electrical supply and does not use a traditional sauna rock heater or steam generator.
Features
Features
-
Three-Person Corner Cabin: A corner-format layout creates a dedicated seating environment for up to three people in a residential interior.
-
Nine FAR Infrared Carbon Panels: Nine low-EMF far-infrared heaters provide coverage from the rear walls, beneath the bench and floor. This sauna is FAR infrared only, not full-spectrum.
-
Six Rear-Wall Panels: Three heaters are positioned on each of the two rear walls.
-
Two Under-Bench Panels: Heating panels beneath the bench supplement the rear-wall heaters.
-
One Floorboard Panel: A floorboard heater adds heat from below the seating area.
-
Manufacturer-Designated Low EMF: Golden Designs reports magnetic-field readings of approximately 5–10 mG at 2–3 inches from the heaters. This is not a Near Zero EMF or whole-cabin reading.
-
Natural Canadian Red Cedar: The manufacturer specifies reforested Canadian Red Cedar for the sauna cabin, offering a natural wood appearance.
-
Bronze-Tinted Tempered Glass: A bronze-tinted tempered-glass door adds a refined look to the corner configuration.
-
Oversized Chromotherapy Lighting: The interior includes a multicolor lighting system that can be adjusted to create the desired atmosphere.
-
Separate Red-Light Feature: A red-light lighting setting is included; it is not a near-infrared heater or a medical treatment device.
-
Exterior Accent Lighting: Decorative exterior lighting complements the cedar cabin.
-
Touchscreen on Current Production: The manufacturer's current product listing specifies an interior touchscreen control panel. Older stock may have LED controls; confirm which version ships.
-
FM Radio and Bluetooth: The built-in sound system provides FM radio, Bluetooth playback and MP3 auxiliary input with speakers.
-
120V / 20A Electrical Service: The manufacturer specifies a dedicated 120-volt, 20-amp circuit and compatible receptacle; it is not a standard 15-amp plug-in unit.
-
Indoor Residential Use: The sauna is not designed for exposure to outdoor weather, snow or rain.
-
Clasp-Together Assembly: Prefabricated panels use the manufacturer's supplied clasp connection system.
-
Roof Overhang Consideration: The roof extends approximately 9.4 inches beyond the stated 60-inch depth. Plan for its full projection when choosing the installation location.
-
Infrared Dry Heat: The carbon panels provide infrared warmth without water being poured onto rocks or an integrated steam generator.

Installation
Installation
-
Verify the Corner Footprint: The cabinet is 60 inches wide, 60 inches deep and 75 inches tall, while the roof overhang projects a further 9.4 inches along the depth. Confirm the full room footprint, adjacent walls, ceiling clearance, door swing and access route before delivery.
-
Support the Full Load: Place on a stable, level indoor floor that supports the current manufacturer-listed 390-pound cabin weight plus occupants. Inspect flooring for suitability and avoid locations with standing water.
-
Plan Electrical Service: The manufacturer requires a dedicated 120V/20A receptacle and circuit. Its published instructions describe a non-GFCI arrangement, but a qualified electrician must verify the supplied unit, grounding, outlet configuration and applicable electrical code requirements before installation.
-
Avoid Improvised Connections: Do not connect the sauna to a standard 15A circuit, extension cord, power strip or plug adapter. Electrical service or receptacle work is separate from cabin assembly.
-
Allow Ventilation and Access: Account for the door opening, roof overhang, ventilation space, future service access and clearance around electrical components. Obtain the current assembly drawing for precise installation requirements.
-
Inspect the Cartons: The manufacturer's listing specifies three shipping cartons. Check the wood, glass, controls and heating elements for damage on arrival. Record visible freight damage in the delivery documentation as required.
-
Assemble the Prefabricated Cabin: Follow the model-specific Maxxus instructions for the floor, rear and side walls, bench, roof, glass door, panel clasps and associated hardware. Handle large glass and cedar panels with adequate assistance.
-
Match the Correct Control Version: Golden Designs provides separate owner’s manuals for earlier LED-panel and newer touchscreen-panel configurations. Choose the manual corresponding to the actual equipment supplied.
-
Finish the Safety Checks: Secure all heater, lighting and audio connectors and check that the glass door operates freely. Do not power on an incompletely assembled or damaged sauna. Never pour water onto FAR infrared panels.
Operation and Usage
Operation And Usage
The Maxxus MX-K356-01 CED uses nine far-infrared carbon panels and a digital control system. Follow the manual matching the supplied control version when setting temperature, adjusting lighting and operating the stereo system.
-
Preheat as Needed: Turn on the system using the interior controls and select an appropriate setting; warm-up duration varies with room temperature and operating conditions.
-
Temperature Guidance: The manufacturer lists 118°F–132°F as an ideal range and advertises a maximum of up to 140°F. Do not assume every installation reaches the maximum under all conditions.
-
Low EMF Explained: The 5–10 mG figure is Golden Designs' measurement claim at 2–3 inches from the FAR heating panels. It does not mean the sauna is EMF-free or that all interior positions have identical readings.
-
Far-Infrared Heating: All nine heating panels are FAR infrared carbon heaters. This model should not be advertised as a full-spectrum infrared or near-infrared sauna.
-
Chromotherapy and Red Light: Use interior color lighting and the red-light setting according to the included controls. Lighting features should not be presented as proven medical treatments.
-
Bluetooth, FM and Auxiliary Audio: Pair a compatible device through Bluetooth, use FM radio or connect an approved MP3 auxiliary source to the integrated speakers.
-
Airflow and Ventilation: Use the model's ventilation features according to the applicable owner’s manual and do not block vents.
-
Session Length and Hydration: Begin conservatively, hydrate properly and leave immediately if you experience dizziness, nausea, chest discomfort, excessive weakness or unusual discomfort.
-
Protect the Wood and Heaters: Use clean towels on bench surfaces while keeping fabrics, belongings and cleaning liquids away from heaters and electrical components.
-
Routine Cleaning: Turn the sauna off and allow it to cool. Clean the cedar interior according to the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions, avoiding harsh chemicals and excessive water.
-
Periodic Inspections: Check heating elements, electrical connections, doors, glass and wooden panels. Discontinue use and contact an authorized service provider if you observe damage or electrical problems.
-
Cedar Sensitivity: The manufacturer warns that cedar can trigger irritation or allergic reactions in some people. Stop use if skin, eye or respiratory symptoms occur.
Safety: Heat exposure may cause dehydration, overheating or dizziness. Avoid alcohol before and during sauna use and do not leave children unattended. Pregnant individuals and those with cardiovascular conditions or medications that affect heat tolerance should consult a healthcare professional before use. This sauna is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent medical conditions.
