5. Operating Instructions
The RENPHO Thermacool Foot Massager can be operated using the integrated touch panel or the included remote control. It is recommended to start with the lowest settings and gradually increase intensity.
5.1 Basic Operation
- Sit comfortably and place your feet into the foot chambers.
- Press the Power button on the control panel or remote control to turn on the device.
- The default massage mode will begin.
5.2 Adjusting Settings
- Kneading Speed: Select from 3 kneading speeds (Low, Medium, High) to customize the intensity of the deep kneading massage. Deep kneading is designed for the forefoot, arch, and toes.
- Compression Intensity: Choose from 5 compression intensities to adjust the pressure around your instep and ankle.
- Heating Function: Activate the heating function with 3 upgrade heat levels (40℃ / 104℉ to 55℃ / 131℉). The warmth covers the entire foot, reaching maximum temperature within 5 minutes.
- Cooling Function: Activate the cooling function with 3 innovative cooling levels (12℃ / 54℉ to 5℃ / 41℉). Cooling targets the heel for soothing relief and compression around the ankle. It reaches minimum temperature within 1 minute.
- Timer: Set the massage duration (e.g., 15, 20, 30 minutes). The display will show a countdown.
Note: Cooling targets the heel for soothing and cooling relief, with compression around the ankle for a gentle massage — but no kneading on the heel. Deep Kneading is designed for the forefoot, arch, and toes. Hot and cold functions cannot be used simultaneously.
