Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for the electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product - if it will not fit the outlet, you may temporarily use an adaptor (such as the one shown in Figure B) until you have a proper outlet (such as the one shown in Figure C) installed by a qualified electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure B may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure D if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet Figure C can be installed by a qualified electrician. The tab for grounding screw Figure B extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. See Figures

D and E.

•Should you have a power failure, turn the power switch to the OFF position.

•If the chair has gotten wet or liquid is spilled near the main power switch, turn the chair off, unplug it from the wall socket and call HoMedics Consumer Relations.

•Do not use the massager while standing on a damp floor or when any part of the body is in contact with plumbing or any similar ground.

•Do not use unit if noise above normal sound is heard.

Assembly Instructions

Setting up your massage chair is easy to do. Your massage chair is almost completely assembled. You will need two people to take the chair out of the box, but the final assembly can be done by one person. After carefully removing all the contents from the packaging, inspect the chair and its components to make sure everything has been received.

Components:
• Back cushion	• Seat cushion	• Head rest
• Hand control	• Softening pad

Step 1

Locate the red lever at the base of the back frame and press inward to release the chair back from the folded position into an upright position. The lever will align with the red knob attached to the gas spring, which is located on the bottom of the chair seat. You may need to lift the gas spring slightly to help the hinge connect.

Step 2

Locate the seat cushion (Fig. 3), slide the metal frame into the pocket on the back of the cushion and line up with the adhesive strips (Fig. 2). To raise the footrest, pull the lever on the left side of the chair outward.

Step 3

Locate the back cushion (Fig. 4), line up the adhesive strips along the back of the chair and place the cushion on the chair (Fig. 2). It may be easiest to recline the chair back when putting the cushion into place. To recline, locate the lever on the right side of the chair and pull outward. Tuck in the base of the back cushion to align with the seat cushion. Note: You may attach the optional headrest (Fig. 8) by lining up the adhesive strip located on the back of the chair frame.

Step 4

Unwrap the cord to the hand control and adaptor. Locate the plug jack on the back of the massage chair (Fig. 5). Make sure the power switch is in the “off” position. Now plug the cord into the receptacle and place the hand control against the magnetic plate on the right side of the chair. This is where you may store your remote.

Step 5

Plug the adaptor into a grounded 120-volt outlet. This product is equipped with a grounded plug and should only be used with the appropriate outlet. Once all pieces of the massage chair are in place and the main power line is plugged in, you may turn the power switch on (Fig. 5).

The Haven massage chair also includes an electrical outlet with a 300 maximum wattage (Fig. 5). NOTE: The outlet is an added convenience for use with items such as a laptop computer or reading light. It will not power the chair.

Enjoying Your Chair and General Use

Choosing a Location

It is important to choose a location that will allow you to best enjoy the chair’s benefits. The following is required for the massage chair:

•The chair back should be a minimum of 2.5 feet from the nearest object to recline fully.

•An electrical outlet that is a maximum of 8 feet from the chair.

In addition, we would suggest you consider the following for your massage chair location:

•Choose a low traffic area so you can create a peaceful environment when getting your massage.

•Choose a location in your home that makes you feel the most comfortable and relaxed, but is also convenient.

•Adjustable lighting near the chair allows you to create the right setting for your mood.

Figure 9

Moving Your Chair

Once you have selected the location for your chair, you can easily move it with the convenient wheels located on the back legs of the chair (Fig. 6).

To move your chair, stand behind the chair and tilt it backwards until the wheels are engaged. Then simply push your chair to the location you want. When you are lowering the front of the chair in the spot you want it, be careful not to drop it too hard or fast, as it may cause damage to your floors.

Turning On Your Chair

The Haven massage chair has a master power switch that must be in the “on” position in order to work. Once you have plugged the chair power cord into the electrical outlet, turn on the master power switch located on the back of the chair (Fig. 7).

Adjusting the Chair Cushions and Recline Systems

Your Haven massage chair cushions and recline angles can be adjusted to provide the most comfort while you are just sitting or getting a massage. Changing the arrangement of cushions and the recline angle of the backrest and footrest adjusts the intensity and range of the massage along your back.

Adjusting the Cushions

There are two adjustable cushions that are included with your chair: the headrest pillow and the backrest softening pad.

THE HEADREST PILLOW:

The headrest pillow is designed to support your head and neck while sitting and relaxing (Fig. 8). When you are using the massage functions, you may need to move or remove the headrest pillow to feel the massage in the upper shoulder or neck area. The headrest attaches with adhesive strips and is easily adjusted.

THE BACKREST SOFTENING PAD:

Your massage chair comes with the backrest softening pad included (Fig. 9). It is recommended that you have this softening pad installed for the most comfort while just sitting in the chair. In addition, it is recommended that you use the softening pad while using the product until your body is “used to” the intensity of the massage. Once you are comfortable with it, you may want to increase the intensity of the massage by removing the softening pad. This will allow you to experience a deeper, more therapeutic massage.

To install the softening pad, remove the back cushion and locate the zipper in the lower back portion. Unzip this and insert the softening pad into the pocket. Close the zipper and replace the back cushion.

ADDITIONAL CUSHIONS:

You may add additional cushioning to the chair with your own pillows. Keep in mind that the more cushioning you add, the less you will be able to feel the massage.

Adjusting the Backrest Angle

You can adjust the backrest angle to recline up to approximately 165 degrees. Reclining the backrest increases the intensity of the massage, and also repositions the body so that the massage range along your back and neck is changed. Typically, the further you recline, the further the massage will reach in the shoulder and neck area. Reclining the chair fully is the best way to experience a neck massage.

RECLINE

To recline the backrest using the manual control, lift the lever on the right side of the chair seat (Fig. 10) and lean back. When you are in the desired position, release the lever.

When you are ready to raise the backrest, pull the lever up again and lean forward. The hydraulic gas system will raise the backrest for you.

ADJUSTING THE FOOTREST

To raise the footrest, pull up on the footrest lever located on the left side of the chair seat (Fig. 11). Relax your legs so they do not provide extra resistance. The hydraulic cylinder will begin to raise the footrest. When you have reached the desired position, release the lever.

To lower the footrest, make sure the backrest of your chair is in the upright position. Pull up on the footrest lever and gently push down with your legs until the footrest is lowered. Release the lever when finished.

It is recommended that you elevate your feet while the backrest is reclined to avoid strain on the lower back. It is also best to elevate your feet during a massage session to promote circulation.

NOTE: In order to avoid strain and potential injury to your back, never attempt to get in or out of the massage chair with the backrest reclined or the footrest raised. Make sure the chair is the closed (lowered) position.

Remote Control Overview

Master Controls

The master controls turn on power for the massage, and also allow you to pause a massage without turning it off or having to start over. These buttons will override any other function on the remote control for safety purposes.

Programmed Massage Sessions

The pre-programmed massage sessions are 12-15 minutes each. Just push a program button and sit back and enjoy. Once the program is finished, the massage system will automatically shut off. You can activate the massage system again by pushing any button.

Instead of using a program, you can select a specific massage function using these buttons. Once you have selected a function, it will stay in that mode until you push another function or turn the massage system off.

Note: The massage system will completely shut off 20 minutes after the last command for safety purposes. However, it will not shut off if the last command was a programmed massage session.
