CauTIOn
• IMPOrTanT: Before using the device for the first time, ensure you have released all transport
locks on the massage mechanism. To do this, remove the screws using the tool provided on
the rear of the seat cover. If the transport lock screws are not removed first and the shiatsu
seat cover is used immediately, the device will become irreparably damaged and unusable.
The warranty will not apply in this instance.
• R euse the transport lock screws when transporting the device in the future. Transporting the device
without using the transport locks could cause irreparable damage to the device.
• P osition the seat cover upright on a suitable seat with a sitting area and backrest (chair, sofa or
similar). Make sure that the seat has a sufficiently high backrest.
• You can achieve the most comfortable massage position on a chair with an upright back.
• U se the flexible fastening straps and hook-and-loop fasteners to secure the Shiatsu seat cover.
• Connect the device to the mains by plugging the plug into the socket.
7. Operation
Press your back against the massager in an upright posture. The upright posture is necessary to enable ac-
curate scanning of your back. The body scanning function is used for this and determines the size of the user.
The massage must be pleasant and relaxing at all times. Stop the massage or change your position or the
contact pressure if you find it is painful or unpleasant.
• Do not force or jam any part of your body, in particular your fingers, between the moving massage elements
or their holders in the device.
• Sit comfortably and upright on the seat cover. Ensure you sit centered and such that the massage heads
can move to the left and right of your spinal column.
• Switch on the massager with the button. The body scanning LED display flashes while your back is
being scanned. After scanning, the relax massage program is activated.
The LEDs signal the massage functions which are currently selected.
• The automatic switch-off function is activated with selection of the massage region and is preset to 15 min-
utes. You can set the automatic switch-off function to 5, 10 or 15 minutes by pressing the timer button.
Please note that changing the timer setting makes the timer start to count again from the beginning. To
avoid overheating the device, select the maximum massage duration at the beginning of the massage and
do not change it again during the massage.
