HEALTH RISK WARNING
Individuals whose feet or legs are inamed or have open wounds should not be allowed to use the pedicure
spa at any time. Nail technicians should advise clients to consult their physician before using the pedicure
spa if their is any sign of fungal infection, swelling, fracture, or persistent pain. In some cases diabetics may
experience improved circulation in their feet, but should rst consult their physician prior to receiving a pedicure.
If the client experiences pain or discomfort, immediately discontinue the use of the pedicure spa.
Do not permit children to use this unit unless they are closely supervised by an adult at all
times. Supervision is also required when bath is used by an elderly or handicapped individual.
Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments
not recommended by the manufacturer. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
Do not operate this unit without guard over the suction fitting.
The water in the foot spa should never exceed 40˚ C (104˚ F). Water temperatures between
38˚ C (100˚ F) and 40˚ C (104˚ F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Use time should be
limited to approximately 10 minutes, followed by a shower to cool down. Longer exposures may
result in hyperthermia, which can be fatal. The symptoms of this condition are nausea, dizziness
and fainting. Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10 - 15
minutes) and for young children.
Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the
early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit whirlpool water
temperatures to 38˚ C (100˚ F).
The use of drugs or alcoholic beverages before or during foot spa use may lead to
unconsciousness. Never use the foot spa while under the influence of alcohol, anticoagulants,
stimulants, antihistamines, vasoconstrictors, vasodilators, hypnotics, narcotics or tranquilizers.
Persons with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system
problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a foot spa.
Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a foot spa since medication may
induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation.
DANGER: To reduce the risk of injury, enter and exit the foot spa slowly.
WARNING: Never operate electrically connected devices in or within 5' of the laundry sink.
Never drop or insert any object into any opening within the foot spa.
DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Connect only to circuits protected by a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI). Such a device should be installed by a licensed electrician and should be
tested on a regular basis (at least monthly). To test the GFCI push the TEST button. The GFCl
