GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for the electric 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 electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product – if it will not fit the outlet, you may temporarily use an adapter (such as the one shown in Figure B) until you have a proper outlet (such as the one shown in Figure C) 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 Figure A. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure B may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure D if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet Figure C can be installed by a qualified electrician. The tab for grounding screw Figure B 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. See Figures D and E.

Easy controls to select bubble massage and heat boost power.
Pedicure center with removable dual pumice stone and cleansing brush attachment.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Ensure that the unit is unplugged before filling with water. Fill with water to the fill line located on the inside of the tub. For a quicker heat boost, fill with warm water. Once water reaches selected temperature, it will stay at this temperature for as long as the heat function is selected.
CAUTION: Do not fill water over the fill line.

Plug the unit into a 120 volt household outlet.

To use the pedicure center:
a. To utilize the dual sided pedicure tool, simply pull up on the attachment to remove from the unit.
• Pumice Stone: Contoured pumice cradles the heels and balls of your feet to smooth and soften dry skin.
• Cleansing Brush: Use to cleanse and exfoliate your feet.
b. When finished with the pedicure attachment, rinse and allow to dry. To replace the pedicure attachment, place back into the attachment storage area.
Enjoy a manual massage by sliding feet back and forth over the sensuous seagrass inserts on the footbath floor.
To empty: first, unplug the unit. Take the footbath to the closest drain and tip the unit allowing water to pour out along the drain spout. DO NOT pour water over the control panel.
NOTE: To reduce splashing due to different water displacements of feet, raise or lower the water level of the footbath.
