Dear customer, we are delighted that you decided to purchase a Saalmann ® therapy device. You made an excellent choice as the light weight Saalux comb sets new standards in terms of usability and design. The one-piece comb attachment comprises two rows of comb tines and a transparent cover, which protects the UV lamp from soiling.
The device may not be altered. If the power cord is damaged, you must have it replaced by Saalmann to avoid the risk of electric shock. The therapy device may only be operated in dry rooms and in the temperature range stated in this user manual.
