Cellulite massager AC 850

• Cellulite, an irregularity in the texture of the skin, is caused by an uneven distribution of subcutaneous fat, compression of the connective tissue and poor blood circulation.
• There is no magic cure for cellulite. Gymnastics, sport, a balanced diet and massages to encourage better circulation do, however, make the fat deposits melt away. They stimulate the metabolism, boost the lymphatic circulation and have a positive effect on the connective tissue.
• The cellulite massager provides a way to massage the buttocks, upper thighs, upper arms and hips to stimulate circulation. The massages have the welcome effect of activating and stimulating circulation – helping to activate the metabolism accordingly. The massage can, when performed on a daily basis and over a longer period of time, help to tauten the skin appreciably.

Operating the unit

• Plug the mains adapter into the socket of the appliance and then plug the mains adapter into the power socket.
• Hold the massager on the part of the body you wish to massage. Make sure that no parts of the body (e.g. fingers) or the power cable become trapped between the rotating massage rollers.
• If you feel any pain or using the appliance triggers unpleasant sensations, change the contact pressure, try a different part of the body, or discontinue the massage.
• Using the sliding switch to activate the appliance. As soon as you push the switch to position 1, the massage rollers start to rotate at a gentle speed. Select position 2. To switch the appliance off, push the sliding switch to position 0.

Uninterrupted treatment should not last longer than 15 minutes. Using the unit for longer can over-stimulate the muscles and cause tension.
