Appliance description

Initial use

• 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 4-5 cm full) with either warm or cold water. The foot rest should, however, be completely covered with water.
• The foot bath is balanced only when it is filled no further than the fill-level mark. Otherwise, the foot bath may tip over when the carrying handle is used.
• 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.

Use

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.
The device has two massage functions

• Function 1 : bubble massage, infrared light and maintains water temperature
• Function 2 : activation of vibration massage

Bubble massage, infrared light and maintains water temperature control

• Press the – button to switch on the bubble massage (with infrared light and maintains water temperature control).
• Press the – button to switch the bubble massage (with infrared light and maintains water temperature control) off again.
  These functions are only available together.

Optional vibration massage
While the bubble massage with infrared light and maintains water temperature control is running, you have the option to switch on the vibration massage. The vibration massage will only function when the bubble massage with infrared light and maintains water temperature control is switched on. It cannot be used separately.

• Press the – button to activate the vibration massage.
• Press the – button to switch the vibration massage off again.

Massage roller
You can experience a special massage effect by moving your feet back and forth on the 4 massage rollers integrated into the bottom of the footbath. The massage rollers can optionally be removed by pulling them firmly upwards.

Removable attachments
Place the desired attachment on the holder in the centre.
The brush attachment can be used to stimulate the reflex zones in the soles of your feet
The massage attachment provides a soothing massage for your feet and promotes the circulation.
The corn and callus remover is used to remove dead skin cells and calluses.

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.
After use pour the water out over the narrow side of the footbath.

Care and storage

After use rinse the unit with tap water. The foot bath can be cleaned with a mild, non-foaming house-hold 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.
• Store the footbath in its original packaging in a dry area.
• Do not leave it open for an extended period.
