Maintenance
To Fold
This massage mat incorporates a unique strapping system that allows you to
fold the unit for storage and transportation. This massage mat incorporates a
folding method similar to an accordion (see Diagram A-D). Fold the top portion
inward so the heat seal pattern is always facing up. Repeat this method. You
can also roll up the mat for storage. Then pull the elastic strap, sewn into the
mat, around the unit.
To Store
Place massager in its box or a safe, dry, cool place. Avoid contact with sharp
edges or pointed objects which might cut or puncture the fabric surface. To
avoid breakage, do not wrap the power cord around the unit. Do not hang the
unit by the controller cord.
To Clean
Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before cleaning. Clean only with a soft,
slightly damp sponge. Never allow water or any other liquid to come into contact
with the unit.
• Do not immerse in any liquid to clean.
• Never use abrasive cleaners, brushes, gasoline, kerosene, glass/furniture
polish or paint thinner to clean.
• Do not attempt to repair the massager. There are no user serviceable parts.
