Instructions for Use

1. Ensure the unit is unplugged before filling with water. Fill with warm water to the MAX fill line located on the inside of the tub. Note: The heater will only help maintain the temperature of water placed inside; it will not heat cold water. For a warm water massage, fill the unit with warm water.
2. Place the unit on the floor in front of a chair. It is recommended to place the product on a towel.
3. Plug the unit into a 220-240V AC power supply.
4. Sit down and place your feet in the spa.
5. To operate the unit:
   • To activate vibration massage, press the [Massage Button].
   • To activate Bubble Massage + Keep Warm, press the [Bubbles/Warmth Button].
   Vibration and Bubble massage settings can be used separately or at the same time. The keep warm function is automatically activated when the bubbles are switched on. The vibration massage can be used with or without water. The bubble massage + keep warm must only be used with water.

Perception of temperature is individual; if the water feels uncomfortably hot, turn off the heater and allow it to cool.
8. Enjoy a deep massage by sliding your feet back and forth over the stimulating nodes and rollers on the foot spa floor. The fixing bracket from one side may come away with the roller; take care not to lose it. To reassemble: 1. Insert the free end of the roller into the fixed bracket. 2. Carefully clip the other end, with the bracket attached, back into place.
9. Move your foot over the exfoliating pumice stone to smooth the skin. To change between the coarse and fine stone, simply lift the attachment and replace it.
