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. For service, send the unit to the HoMedics
address listed in the warranty section.
