Overview
The Maxxus MX-K406-01 CED 4-Person Low EMF Cedar FAR Infrared Sauna combines natural Canadian Red Cedar, a spacious residential cabin and nine far-infrared carbon heating panels. It is built for indoor home use and provides a wood-lined environment for up to four people without the stone heater or steam used in traditional saunas.
Its nine Low EMF FAR infrared panels are arranged throughout the cabin, including the rear walls, under-bench area and floorboard. Golden Designs reports panel EMF measurements of 5–10 milligauss at approximately 2–3 inches from the panels. This is the Low EMF MX-K406-01 CED—not the separate Near Zero EMF MX-K406-01-ZF CED model.
A bronze-tinted tempered-glass door, oversized chromotherapy lighting with red-light feature, exterior accent lighting, built-in audio and interior controls combine modern convenience with cedar construction. The current manufacturer listing specifies an interior touchscreen; older production versions may use LED controls, so the exact control version should match the shipped unit.
With an exterior cabinet size of 74" W × 42" D × 75" H plus approximately 5.9 inches of roof overhang in the depth direction, this four-person infrared sauna is best suited to a dedicated indoor space. It requires 120V / 20A dedicated electrical service, which should be verified before ordering.
Features
Features
-
Four-Person Seating: An interior width of 68 inches accommodates up to four people in a residential FAR infrared cabin, subject to individual seating preferences.
-
Nine FAR Infrared Carbon Panels: The manufacturer specifies nine Maxxus Low EMF far-infrared carbon heating panels. This is a FAR-only heater configuration, not a full-spectrum or near-infrared sauna.
-
Heating-Panel Placement: The 2026–2027 supplier sheet lists three panels on each of two rear walls, two under the bench and one in the floorboard.
-
Manufacturer-Reported Low EMF: Golden Designs reports 5–10 milligauss (mG) when measured approximately 2–3 inches from its heating panels. Low EMF does not mean zero EMF or an independently certified whole-cabin reading.
-
Natural Canadian Red Cedar: Reforested Canadian Red Cedar gives the sauna its wood appearance and characteristic cedar aroma.
-
Bronze-Tinted Tempered Glass: The manufacturer specifies a bronze-tinted tempered-glass door, with side glazing noted in the supplier specification sheet.

Oversized Chromotherapy Lighting: The interior color-lighting system helps customize the cabin's appearance during a session.
-
Red-Light Lighting Feature: A separate red-light setting is included with the lighting system; this is not a guarantee of medical or therapeutic effects.

Exterior Accent Lighting: Decorative lighting provides another design detail outside the cabin.
-
Touchscreen Controls: The current manufacturer listing specifies an interior touchscreen panel. Earlier production units may have LED controls; confirm the controls fitted to the supplied unit.
-
FM, Bluetooth and MP3 Audio: Listen to compatible audio using FM reception, Bluetooth connectivity or the MP3 auxiliary input through the integrated speakers.
-
Dedicated 120V/20A Service: The manufacturer requires a special dedicated 120-volt, 20-amp electrical connection, rather than a standard 15-amp household circuit or 240-volt supply.
-
Natural Wood Interior: The cedar interior complements the infrared heaters and provides a traditional cabin appearance without a rock heater.
-
Prefabricated Cabin Assembly: Factory-made wall, floor and roof components use a clasp-together construction method.
-
Indoor Residential Design: The MX-K406-01 CED is designed for indoor installation only. It is not rated for rain, snow or direct outdoor exposure.

Installation
Installation
-
Measure the Complete Footprint: The cabin measures 74 inches wide, 42 inches deep and 75 inches high, with a roof overhang adding approximately 5.9 inches to the depth. Leave space for the door to open, ventilation, electrical access and panel assembly. Follow the current dimensional drawing for minimum clearances.
-
Choose a Dry Indoor Location: Install only in a suitably ventilated interior residential area on a level surface capable of supporting approximately 390 pounds of sauna weight plus users. Protect the cabin from weather exposure and standing water.
-
Prepare Dedicated Electrical Service: The manufacturer specifies a special 120V / 20A dedicated receptacle and breaker and states that the supplied model is not 220V/240V. The manufacturer’s listing also references a non-GFCI arrangement; a qualified electrician must reconcile the unit’s instructions with applicable local electrical code, grounding and required protection before connecting power.
-
Do Not Use an Ordinary 15-Amp Outlet: A standard shared household outlet may not satisfy this model’s 20-amp requirement. Do not connect through an extension cord, surge strip or outlet adapter. Verify actual plug configuration against the supplied unit and owner's manual.
-
Inspect Delivery and Components: The 2026–2027 supplier sheet lists three cartons delivered by LTL freight. Inspect the exterior packaging and record visible damage at delivery. Check cedar panels, glass, heater panels and electrical parts before beginning assembly.
-
Assemble the Cabinet: Follow the current Maxxus owner’s manual for the floor, front and rear panels, side panels, bench, roof and door. Prefabricated panels attach using the manufacturer’s clasp system; use adequate assistance when lifting panels and tempered glass.
-
Connect the Controls and Heaters: Connect the FAR infrared panels, temperature controls, lighting and audio as directed by the manual. Confirm whether the shipment has the current touchscreen or an earlier LED control version and use the corresponding instruction set.
-
Complete First-Use Checks: Confirm panel alignment, secure wiring, proper door operation, unobstructed vents and working controls before use. Never pour water over infrared panels or attempt to use this dry FAR sauna as a traditional steam or rock-heater sauna.
Operation and Usage
Operation And Usage
The Maxxus MX-K406-01 CED is a far-infrared sauna. All nine heating panels use FAR infrared technology; a separate red-light lighting feature is included for cabin ambiance but is not a near-infrared heating element.
-
Start and Preheat: Use the interior controls to select a comfortable setting and allow time for the cabin to warm. Operating temperature and warm-up time vary with room conditions.
-
Choose an Appropriate Temperature: Golden Designs lists 118°F–132°F as the ideal operating range and advertises temperatures up to 140°F. The stated maximum should not be treated as a guarantee under every installation condition.
-
Understand Low EMF: The manufacturer reports 5–10 mG measured 2–3 inches from its FAR carbon panels. This is a model-specific low-EMF specification, not a near-zero, zero-EMF or whole-cabin certification.
-
Use the Nine FAR Panels: This model provides far-infrared heat through nine carbon panels. It does not contain the additional near-infrared heating elements found in full-spectrum models.
-
Customize Cabin Lighting: Select the interior chromotherapy color and red-light settings through the available controls. Lighting features are for atmosphere and do not establish a medical treatment claim.
-
Listen to Audio: Use FM radio, Bluetooth pairing or the MP3 auxiliary connection with compatible devices, following the control-system instructions.
-
Adjust Airflow: Use the roof vent in accordance with the owner’s manual to help manage cabin comfort and airflow.
-
Begin Conservatively: Start with shorter sessions and a moderate temperature, hydrate appropriately and exit if you experience dizziness, nausea, weakness or discomfort.
-
Protect the Cedar Bench: Place a clean towel on the bench to absorb perspiration, keeping towels and personal items clear of heating elements and air openings.
-
Clean Safely: Allow the sauna to cool and disconnect power as directed before cleaning. Use a soft cloth and manufacturer-approved cleaning methods; avoid soaking wood, spraying heaters or applying harsh chemicals.
-
Inspect Periodically: Examine the wood, glass, power cord, heaters, ventilation and controls. Stop use and request authorized service if you find damage, electrical faults or persistent unusual odors.
-
Cedar Sensitivities: Canadian Red Cedar can cause skin or respiratory irritation in sensitive users. Stop using the sauna and seek medical advice if irritation or an allergic reaction occurs.
Sauna Safety: Heat exposure may lead to dehydration or overheating. Do not use the sauna while intoxicated and do not leave children unattended. Individuals who are pregnant, have cardiovascular conditions or take medications affecting heat tolerance should seek professional medical guidance before use. The sauna is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent disease.
