Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

⚠️ DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electronic shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether this product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch (A). A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter used in sketches (B) and (C) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch (B), if a properly grounded plug is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored, rigid ear tab or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

For all grounded cord-connected products:

Grounding methods:

If the product should suddenly stop and will not start, turn the main power switch, located on the back of the product, off and do not operate the product for at least 30 minutes. Failure to turn the product off may result in the product starting unexpectedly when the device cools.

Care and Maintenance

To keep your product working and looking its best, please follow these simple care guidelines.

⚠️ WARNING:

• Be sure to disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet before cleaning. (Also indicated on the safety page.)
• When cleaning the remote control or power switch, use a dry cloth only. Never use a damp cloth to clean any electrical component.

CAUTION:

• Be sure to test any cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous part of the product to ensure that the color does not fade prior to using the solution on the entire product surface.
• Do not use benzene, thinner or any other solvents on your product.

Cleaning Code Standard for SofHyde or Cloth: W

To maintain your Human Touch product in optimum condition, dust it frequently and/or vacuum it with a soft brush vacuum extension. If your product becomes dirty, use a water-based upholstery cleaner only. To treat stains, spot clean with an upholstery shampoo or a mild detergent foam. To clean the foot/calf massage well inserts, use a mild detergent.

Maintenance and Repair

• The mechanics of this product are specially designed and constructed to be maintenance free. No periodic lubrication or servicing is required.
• Your chair should only be serviced by a Human Touch-authorized service representative.

Use and Storage Environment

• Do not place the chair in direct or reflected sunlight, as ultraviolet rays will quickly fade the upholstery color and cause the SofHyde upholstery to rapidly deteriorate.
• Operate your chair in a room temperature between 41 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (5 to 40 degrees Celsius) with humidity levels of 10% to 70% (non-condensing) to avoid damage.
• To prevent damage to the upholstery, before sitting in your chair make sure there are no sharp objects in your pockets and no metal buttons or zippers that can come in contact with the chair.
• Do not place the chair where excessive dust and pet hair can migrate into the chair's electrical and mechanical components; this can cause malfunction over time.
• When not in use for a long period of time, we recommend that the chair be covered, the power cord be coiled, and that the unit be placed in an environment free of dust and moisture.
• Store your chair in a room temperature between 5 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit (-15 to 50 degrees Celsius) with humidity levels of 10% to 70% (non-condensing) to avoid damage; product stored in cold temperatures may require 48 hours at room temperature to function properly.
• Do not store near open heat or flame.

Having Trouble?

Your WholeBody® 8.0 massage chair is a sophisticated combination of mechanics, electronics, and software working together to give you the ultimate massage. With such complexity comes opportunity for what we like to call massage chair "confusion." So, should your massage chair exhibit any abnormal behavior, please do the following to fully reset the chair:

1. Press the STOP button (⏹️) on the handheld remote.
2. Turn the chair's power switch on the rear of the chair to Off.
3. Unplug the chair from the power source.
4. Wait 30 seconds.
5. Plug the chair back into the power source, then turn the power switch back On.

If your chair has no power:

• Check the power cord - Make sure the power cord connection to the chair is secure and that the power cord is not damaged.
• Check the wall outlet - Plug a known working device into the outlet to ensure the outlet is working.

If the issue remains, please do the following before contacting our customer experience team (this will help us help you much more quickly):

1. Locate the serial number on label on the back of your chair and write it down.
2. Locate your proof of purchase, as we will need it to process any warranty claim.
3. Now you're ready to contact us!
