Please ensure that the polythene packing is kept away from the reach of children! Risk of suffocation!

Items supplied and packaging

Please check first of all that the device is complete and is not damaged in any way. In case of doubt, do not use the appliance and contact your dealer or your service centre. The following parts are included:

• 1 power unit with mains cable
• 1 air hose
• 1 soft mat
• 1 remote control with CR2032 battery
• 3 scent pad holder with pads
• 1 instruction manual

Operating

Preparation

• Make sure there is a pleasant room temperature in the bathroom.
• Position the unit 14 at a distance of at least 60 cm from the bathtub, so that it is out of reach. Ensure that the air inlet on the underside is not covered. The floor must be dry.
• Place the soft mat 22 into the bath and press it down. The suction cups on the underside of the soft mat stick better if you first wet the soft mat with the shower head. The air connection on the mat is at the foot end.
• The soft mat 22 must be firmly attached to the bath and must not slide around.
• Connect the smooth hose end 23 to the soft mat 22.
• Run the bath water. Make sure that the water has a pleasant temperature, but is not too hot.
• Do not use any bath foam.

CAUTION
After use, the best way of taking the soft mat out of the bath is by carefully sliding a fingernail under the suction cups to release the vacuum. Pull the soft mat sideways off the bath without tearing it.

Aromatherapy

• You can use the appliance with or without the scent pad holder.
• If you want to use the spa bath mat with aromatherapy, put one drop of aromatherapy oil 21on a pad, place this in a scent pad holder 20 and close this. Do not oversaturate the pad. Too much aroma essence could damage the surface of the scent pad holder.
• Push the closed scent pad holder 19 into the insert provided for this purpose in the open hose end 18.
• Place the end of the hose with the scent pad holder into the connection on the pump unit 17.
• Put the plug 16 into the socket.

Operate the unit
The spa bath mat can be adjusted either on the unit 9 or using the remote control 1. The buttons on the remote control 3 4 5 correspond to the control panel on the appliance 13 10 12. Each activated function is shown on the control panel by an LED to the left of the button. If you touch the remote control, the LED 2 lights up on the remote control.

Switch the device on/off
Use the on/off button (3 or 13) to switch the appliance on or off. After switching on, the unit immediately operates at the lowest power level („Low“, yellow LED). The „ON“ LED lights up red. The default application time is 30 minutes (green LED).

Change spa intensity
Use the spa intensity button (4 or 10) to control the intensity. Repeatedly pressing the button changes the setting from „Low“ to „Medium“ and „High“ to „Program“ (automatic change of the 3 settings Low/Medium/High).

Change the operation time
Use the timer/heat button (5 or 12) to set the operation time. Pressing the button briefly and repeatedly switches between the presets 30 / 20 / 10 minutes. After the set time, the unit switches off automatically. Use for more than 30 minutes is NOT recommended. Before switching the unit on again, there should be a break of at least 30 minutes.

The heating function
With the timer/heat button (5 or 12) you can also switch the heating function on or off. Pressing the button for a longer time (at least 2 seconds) changes the „ON“ LED accordingly:
„ON“ LED lights up red: heating function is active
„ON“ LED lights up blue: heating function is inactive

NOTES

• The heating function is not intended to maintain the water temperature or to warm up a cold bath. Heating the air from which the bubbles are created prevents the bath water from cooling too quickly during operation.
• Do not immerse the remote control in water!
• There is an adhesive suction pad 7 on the back of the remote control. If you moisten it a little, you can attach it to the wall of the bathroom or to the edge of the bathtub at a comfortable distance.
• The remote control only works when it is pointed at the infrared sensor 11 on the control panel of the unit.

Changing the battery
If the battery is weak, the LED 2 does not indicate any function when the remote control is used. The remote control uses one 3V CR2032 lithium battery. It is located in the battery compartment 8 on the rear of the unit. To change the battery, open the battery compartment cover with a suitable coin. Take out the old battery and replace it with a new 3V CR2032 lithium battery. Ensure that it is inserted correctly – with the plus pole to the top. Close the battery compartment 8 using a coin.

Cleaning and maintenance
Please pull the plug out of the socket before cleaning the unit!

• The pump unit and the remote control do not require servicing. They only need to be cleaned with a soft damp cloth occasionally.
• Please rinse the soft mat with a shower head or a sponge. If required, use a mild household cleaner or soapy water.
• Never use aggressive cleaning agents or strong brushes.
• It is best to remove any remaining water by turning over the mat and lying it flat in the empty bath, then press it lightly so that the remaining water can be squeezed out by the air.
• Disinfect the mat at regular intervals to keep it free of bacteria. It is advisable to disinfect it every week if it is used on a daily basis, especially if the air spa bath is used by several people. Use a standard household disinfectant and observe the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Straighten the cable if it has become twisted.
• It is best to store the unit in the original packaging in a dry and clean place.
