DANGER—TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:

ALWAYS unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet immediately after using and before cleaning.
DO NOT reach for an appliance that has fallen into water. Unplug it immediately.

WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS, ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE OR INJURY TO PERSONS:

An appliance should NEVER be left unattended when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before putting on or taking off parts or attachments.
Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by, on or near children, invalids or disabled persons.
DO NOT use outdoors.
Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. DO NOT use attachments not recommended by HoMedics; specifically any attachments not provided with the unit.
DO NOT carry this appliance by the supply cord or use the cord as a handle.
NEVER operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water. Return it to HoMedics Service Center for examination and repair.
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
NEVER block the air openings of the appliance or place it on a soft surface, such as a bed or couch, where the air openings may be blocked. Keep air openings free of lint, hair, etc.
NEVER drop or insert any object into any opening.
DO NOT operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.
DO NOT operate under a blanket or pillow. Excessive heating can occur and cause fire, electrocution or injury
to persons.
To disconnect, turn all controls to the “OFF” position, then remove plug from outlet.
Use heated surfaces carefully. May cause serious burns. DO NOT use over insensitive skin areas or in the presence of poor circulation. The unattended use of heat by children or incapacitated persons may be dangerous.

Caution: In case of pregnancy, diabetes, pacemaker use, illness or any medical condition, consult your doctor before using massager.

Not recommended for use by Diabetics.
NEVER leave the appliance unattended, especially if children are present.

NEVER use this product directly on swollen or inflamed areas or skin eruptions.
DO NOT use this product as a substitute for medical attention.
DO NOT use this product before bed. The massager has a stimulating effect and can delay sleep.

Instructions for Use

To reduce the risk of electrocution, this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

Plug into a 120-volt outlet.
It is highly recommended that the foot massager be used with socked feet. Do not use the unit with shoes.
Place massager on the floor in front of your chair or seat.
To activate massage action, press Power button once. The LED illuminator will glow blue (fig. 1). Tip: By changing the pressure of your feet on the massager, it will change the feel of the massage. If the unit tickles you, then you may need to apply more pressure or you may need to become accustomed to the sensation. If the massage feels too strong, you may need to lighten the pressure of your feet on the unit.
To activate soothing heat with the massage, press the Power button a second time. The LED illuminator will glow red (fig 2). Allow a few moments for the heating action to warm up.
Select between Massage and Massage & Heat.
When finished, turn the unit “OFF” and unplug. “OFF” is reached by pressing the Power button until the unit turns off. (The first press of the power button turns on the massage function; the second press turns on the soothing heat
function, and the third press turns the unit off.)
NOTE: As a safety feature, the soothing Heat function cannot be used alone.
