Device Description

The appliance is used solely for massaging the human body.

Components:

• A Control (steplessly adjustable massage speed)
• B Sliding switch: OFF, M - Massage, M+H – Massage and infrared heat
• C Massage surface with infrared heat
• D Fastening for hand strap
• E Buttons to lock the handle
• F Power cable
• G Non-slip removable handle
• H Exchangeable massage attachments: soft attachment, knobbed attachment
• I Massage head
• J Hand strap
• K Plug-in cover

Initial Use

Decide whether you wish to use the massage device with its handle attached or without a handle, using a hand strap.

To remove the handle: Press hard on the two retention buttons on either side of the handle and pull the handle off the massage head. Insert the plug-in cover into the back of the massage head.

To use with hand strap: Put your hand under the hand strap. Using the Velcro fastener, adjust the length of the hand strap so that you can hold the massage head in your hand and guide it safely.

Usage

To attach the handle: First, pull off the plug-in cover and reattach the handle until it is heard to engage. The power cable emerges from beneath the handle retainer.

You can massage with or without the massage attachment. Simply choose the massage attachment that you prefer.

Note: With M+H infrared heat treatment, any massage attachments will prevent the heat supply of the infrared source. You should therefore only operate the device on „M“ if a massage attachment is fitted.

Make sure that the device is switched off before inserting the power cable. Switch on the device by setting the sliding switch to „M“ (Massage only) or „M+H“ (Massage with infrared heat).

Set the required massage speed using the control. Place the device on the part of the body which you wish to massage. You can stand up, sit down or lie down and you can either massage yourself or massage somebody else. Massage intensity can be varied by exerting more or less pressure on the massage device.

Never massage a specific part of the body for longer than 3 minutes without changing to another area of the body. After using for a maximum of 20 minutes, switch off the device again, disconnect the plug and let it cool down. Store the device in a dry place.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning:

• Switch off the device each time before cleaning.
• Clean the device with a slightly damp cloth only.
• Clean the device using only the methods specified. Under no circumstances may liquid enter the device or accessories.
• Do not use the device again until it is completely dry.
• Do not clean the device in a dishwasher.
• Do not use any abrasive cleaning products or hard brushes.

Pull out the plug before cleaning. Wipe the massager with a damp cloth and then dry it. Do not use any scouring agents or solvents to clean the massager. The massage heads may be cleaned in warm, soapy water. Only re-use the IR massager when it is completely dry.

Care: If you do not plan to use the device for a long period of time, we recommend that you store it in the original packaging in a dry environment, ensuring it is not weighed down by additional items.

Disposal

For environmental reasons, do not dispose of the device in the household waste at the end of its useful life. Dispose of the unit at a suitable local collection or recycling point. Dispose of the device in accordance with EC Directive – WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). If you have any questions, please contact the local authorities responsible for waste disposal.
