IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

WHEN USING ELECTRICAL PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN CHILDREN
ARE PRESENT, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE
FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

DANGER

• Control unit should never be placed in water.

• Always unplug this appliance from the electrical outlet immediately after using and before cleaning.

• Do not reach for an appliance that has fallen into water. Unplug it immediately.

• Do not place or store power unit where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink. Do not place in or drop into water
or other liquid. Store in dry place.

DANGER

• Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children to avoid accidents, ensure that chil­dren cannot use this spa unless they are supervised at all times.

DANGER

• The suction fittings in this spa are sized to match the specific water flow created by the pump. Should the need arise

to replace the suction fittings or the pump, be sure that the flow rates are compatible. Never operate spa if the suc
tion fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on
the original suction fitting.

• Install at least 5 feet (1.5m) from all metal surfaces. As an alternative, spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal

surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum 8 AWG (8.4mm2) solid copper conductor to
the wire connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose.

• Do not permit any electric appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television, within 5 feet (1.5m) of a spa.

WARNING

OR INJURY TO PERSONS:

• An appliance should never be left unattended when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before

putting on or taking off parts or attachments.

• Close supervision is necessary when this product is used by, on or near children, invalids or disabled persons.

• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended

by HoMedics.

• Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or

RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING:

-

RISK OF INJURY:

- TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS, ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE

Caution:
Do not allow the con­trol unit to become
wet. Only mat and hose
should come in contact
with water.

Please disconnect the
mat and hose after use.

The suction cups under
the bath mat are to be
used on smooth and
shiny bathtub surfaces.
If your bathtub has
a rough or textured
surface, take extreme
caution when entering
the tub in order to avoid
slippage and possible
danger.

damaged or dropped into water. Return it to HoMedics Service Center for examination
and repair.

• Do not carry this appliance or power unit by supply cord, or use cord as a handle.

• Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

• Do not block the air openings of the appliance or power unit or place it on a soft sur­face, such as a bed or couch, where the air openings may be blocked. Keep air open­ings free of lint, hair, dust, etc.

• Do not drop or insert any object into any opening.

• Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is
being administered.

• To disconnect, turn all controls to the “off” position, then remove plug from outlet.

• To reduce risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are

closely supervised at all times.

WARNING

• The water in a spa should never exceed 40C(104F). Water temperature between 38C

(100F) and 40C are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are
recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.

• Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage dur

ing the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit
spa water temperatures to 38C (100F).

• Before entering the spa, the user should measure the water temperature since the toler

ance of water temperature-regulating devices varies.

• The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or during spa use may lead to uncon

sciousness with the possibility of drowning.

• Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure,

circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a
spa. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa.

• Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa since some

medication may induce drowsiness while other medications may affect heart rate,
blood pressure, and circulation.

- FOR INDOOR USE ONLY.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION—PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING.

• Ensure that your hands are dry when operating the switch or removing the plug.

• Do not cover unit or power unit with any type of material while it is in operation.

• Do not use in inflatable tubs or pools.

• Not for use by diabetics or indivduals with other sensory deficiencies.

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

Servicing of Double-Insulated Products

In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation are provided
instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double­insulated product, nor should a means for grounding be added to the
product. Servicing a double-insulated product requires extreme care and
knowledge of the system and should be done only by qualified service
personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated product must be
identical to the parts they replace. A double-insulated product is marked
with the words “DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSULATED” The
symbol “ ” may also be marked on the product.

BodyBubbles Features

1. Comfortable bubble mat contours to any bath surface.

2. Variable control to customize from gentle to powerful bubbles.

3. Lightweight, compact and portable for easy storage.

Installation Instructions

1. Remove the mat from its packaging and make sure all
necessary components are included: mat, suction cups, control unit and
hose (Fig. 1).

2. Be sure the control unit is unplugged and positioned on a sturdy surface
where it cannot fall or be pulled into the tub, preferably the floor.

3. To place the mat, first dampen tub surface with a slight amount

of water. This will help the adhesion of suction cups (on bottom
of mat) to bathtub floor (Fig. 2).

4. To connect the hose to the control unit, insert the hose end into the con­trol unit (Fig. 3).

5. Insert the other end of the hose into the mat (Fig. 4). NOTE: Keep the
hose free from kinks which could constrict airflow.

6. Plug unit into 120 volt electrical outlet.

Instructions for Use

1. After plugging in the control unit, turn the dial to your desired bubble
intensity.

a. First position is low intensity
b. Second position is medium intensity
c. Third position is high intensity

2. When you are done with your bath, return the dial to the “off” position
and drain the bathtub.
