OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

This appliance is equipped with an Appliance Leakage Circuit Interrupter (ALCI), a safety feature that renders it inoperable under some abnormal conditions, such as immersion in water.

To make sure the ALCI is functioning properly, perform the following test. The purpose of this test is to allow you to make sure the exclusive water sensing system (ALCI) is working.

1) Plug in appliance and press test button on plug (see appropriate diagram below).

2) Appliance will stop working. There will be an audible click and a reset button will pop out.

3) To reset ALCI with a reset button, unit should be unplugged. Then push in reset button, and reinsert plug into outlet.

4) If ALCI is not functioning properly, return appliance to an authorized Conair service center.

5) It is important that if immersion of the transformer or the ALCI occurs, this unit be brought to a service center. Do not try to reset.

6) Be sure to repeat test every time you use appliance to confirm ALCI is operational. Should the appliance go off and the ALCI reset button pop up during use, this could indicate a malfunction in the appliance.

HOW TO USE BATH MAT AND MOTOR HOUSING

1) Remove bath mat, motor housing, soft surface mat, and air hose from packaging. Do not fill tub first.

2) Insert one end of the air hose into the female receptacle on one end of the mat. Press in firmly.

3) Place mat into tub with hose end towards the front of tub. Press mat firmly down to engage suction cups on bottom of mat. Suction cups may lose grip on textured surfaces or tubs with some dirt buildup. Clean area and moisten suction cups to increase suction cup grip.

4) Place motor housing on the floor conveniently between the bathtub and electrical outlet. Never place the motor housing where it can fall into the tub. Have the motor housing face the user in the tub, as the infrared Remote Control needs to be aimed by the user towards the motor housing.

5) Plug motor housing into 120 V AC outlet. See ALCI operating instructions to familiarize yourself with ALCI use and function.

6) Insert the other end of the air hose into the motor housing.

7) Test the Unit by pushing rocker switch on the front of appliance to "HIGH". You should hear the motor turn on.

8) Test operation of the Remote Control by pushing the rocker switch to the "REMOTE" position. Now press the remote’s power "ON" button; motor will run on the "HIGH" setting. Try other settings to become familiar with the unit's operation. (See “How To Use Remote Control”)

9) Now fill the bathtub with the amount and temperature of bath water desired. Turn on unit to desired setting.

10) Exercise extra caution getting into and out of the bathtub.

11) The bath mat massager will not keep hot bath water heated. Even on the HIGH setting, the user should expect hot bath water to cool off.

12) Use of salts and oils is acceptable with your Bath Mat Massager. Please clean the bath mat with fresh tap water before storing. Also note that your additions of salt or oil may make tub and bath mat surfaces slippery.

13) After use, be sure you are dry before unplugging power unit.

14) To store, drain all water from the bath mat sections by rotating gently over the bathtub. Disconnect the air hose from the power unit and drain air hose into tub as well. After all free water has dripped into the tub, gently wipe any wet surfaces with a clean dry towel before storing.

15) Dry the Remote Control Power Module after use. Avoid submerging or having control float on water for long periods of time.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Keep your unit clean and clear of obstruction. Check the hose and mat controls, air intakes, and connections periodically to make sure they are free of obstruction, hair, lint and other particles that could block airflow.

Then check operation by aiming the remote at the motor housing, and selecting a function. If the remote still does not operate the unit, make sure that the ALCI "reset" button is engaged.
