Electric shock

WARNING
Just like any other electrical appliance, this footbath must be handled with due care and attention in order to prevent the risk of electric shock.

For this reason, the device must only be operated as follows:

With the mains voltage specified on the device only.
Do not use the device if damage to the device itself or any of its accessories is evident.
Never use the appliance during a thunderstorm.

In the event of a defect or malfunction, switch the device off immediately and disconnect it from the power supply. Never pull on the power cable or on the appliance in order to disconnect the plug from the mains outlet. Never hold or carry the device by the power cable. Keep the cables away from hot surfaces. You must never connect the foot bath to the power supply when your feet are already in the water. If the device is damaged, this can lead to life- threatening electric shock. Make sure that the plug and the power cord do not come into contact with water or other liquids.

For this reason, the device must be operated as follows:

only in dry inside rooms (e.g. never in the bathtub or sauna),
only with dry hands.

Never immerse the device in water. Never try to retrieve the device if it falls into water. Disconnect the plug immediately from the mains outlet.

For this reason, the massage device must only be operated as follows:

Never leave the device unsupervised, particularly if children are around.
Never use the device under covers, such as blankets or pillows.
Never use the device in the vicinity of petrol or other easily flammable materials.

The device must not be connected to the power supply while being filled.
Always switch the foot bath off and remove the plug from the mains socket before moving it or cleaning it.

Start-up

Remove the packaging
Check the device, power supply and cables for damage.
Before you plug in the foot bath, fill it up to the fill-level mark (approx. 4 cm full) with either warm or cold water. The footrest should, however, be completely covered with water.
Route the cable safely so that there is no risk of anyone tripping over it.
Place the foot bath on a firm and level surface.

Operation

Make yourself comfortable in a chair and place your feet on the foot rest and apply slight pressure. Never stand up in the foot bath. The rubber feet on the base of the unit prevent it from sliding.
Switch on the device. To do this, press the function button [2].
The vibration massage, bubble massage and water temperature regulator are started simultaneously.

Massage attachment
The massage attachment in the middle provides a comfortable massage for your feet and stimulates circulation. This can be removed for cleaning purposes.

Note

Massage of a specific point on the sole of the foot may influence the corresponding organ of the body. However, we recommend studying relevant literature and asking your doctor before using point reflex zone massage to achieve the desired effect.
A heater is fitted underneath the feet support. Warm water can be kept warm for a longer length of time by switching on the heater. The heater is not suitable for heating cold water. To achieve optimum results, it is recommended that the massage lasts no longer than 40 minutes.

After use, empty the water using the foot bath’s narrow draining outlet [8].

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

WARNING

After use rinse the unit with tap water. The foot bath can be cleaned with a mild, non-foaming household cleaner, e.g. neutral vinegar. To dry the air lines, switch to the bubble setting without water for approx. 1 minute.

Note
Do not allow water to penetrate the interior of the footbath.
