SOME SPECIFIC MASSAGE APPLICATIONS
GENERAL BODY MASSAGE
For general well-being, enjoy a daily once-over light massage. It has a wonderfully soothing and relaxing effect.
NECK Massage down from the base of the skull, on either side of the spine, for a few minutes.
SHOULDERS Temporarily relieve minor muscle tension by lightly massaging the shoulders outward from the base of the neck for 4–5 minutes.
BACK Massage along length of spine and shoulder blades to help temporarily relieve minor muscular backache. The multiposition handle has been specifically designed for these areas.
ARMS
Stroke smoothly up from wrist to shoulder on inside and outside of arms, including palms, for 4-5 minutes.
LEGS AND FEET
Massage the ball and heel of the foot to temporarily relieve tired, aching muscles. Use even, upward strokes over all the leg surfaces.
SPORTS MASSAGE
Ideal for pre-sport massage to loosen and prepare muscles for activity. Use to aid in relief of sports injuries such as aches, pains, strains or cramped muscles.
Use your Body-Flex® massager as described in these instructions and you will enjoy the benefits and relief you would get from a masseuse.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Your massager is designed for household use, and is virtually maintenance­free. No lubrication is needed. To clean the head and body of the massager, use a cloth only. Do not use any strong chemical cleaners.
2) If the cord or massager is damaged or does not operate properly, return it to an authorized service center. Any required servicing should be performed by a Conair authorized service center.
3) Never allow the power supply cord to be excessively pulled or twisted. Inspect the cord frequently for damage. Stop use immediately if damage is visible, or if unit stops or operates intermittently. Never wrap the cord around the appliance.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
STORAGE
When not in use, your massager should be disconnected, allowed to cool and stored in a safe, dry location, out of reach of children.
RECOMMENDED MASSAGING TIMES
• Generally, massage should last 10–20 minutes on any muscle of the body. Treatment may be applied once or twice daily.
• As a person’s metabolism varies, so does his or her response to massage, and you will soon adjust the time to suit your particular needs and personal comfort. If you have any doubts regarding treatment, we recommend you consult your physician.
