Appliance description

Shiatsu foot massager

 Start-up

• Remove the packaging.
•  Check the device, power supply, and cables for damage.
•  Connect the device to the mains power supply.
•  Set the main switch to 1.
•  Route the cable safely so that there is no risk of anyone tripping over it.

Operation

Remove your shoes before each use. When seated comfortably, place your feet on the massage heads. The device is prevented from slipping by the rubber feet on the base of the device. Switch on the massager firstly at the main switch and then with the on/off button. To switch on the heat function and the 2nd-speed setting, press the on/off button again. Press on/off again to switch off the device.
For an optimum massage position, the rear feet can be adjusted. Rotate the feet higher in a clockwise direction or lower in an anti-clockwise direction. The message must be pleasant and relaxing at all times. Stop the massage or change your position or the contact pressure if you find it is painful or unpleasant.

• Do not force any part of your body, in particular your fingers, between the rotating massage heads and their mountings in the device.

NOTE

Do not use the massage device for longer than 15 minutes. Otherwise, using the device for longer can over-stimulate the muscles and cause tension instead of relaxation. 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.

Care and storage

Cleaning

WARNING

• Disconnect the device before cleaning it.
•  Only clean the appliance in the manner specified. Fluid must never be allowed to enter into the device or accessories.

•  Do not use the device again until it is completely dry.
