Homedics Shiatsu Elite II (MCS-845HJ) Manual

DEVICE OVERVIEW

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

The cushion comes with a screw located on the back of the unit to protect the massage mechanism during shipment, which must be removed before the first use to allow the unit to function properly. Use the provided allen wrench. Then, properly dispose of the screw.

Failure to remove screw may cause permanent damage to the massage cushion. DO NOT REINSTALL SCREW

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

1. Untie cord strap, extend cord and insert plug into 120-volt household electrical outlet to power unit.
2. Attach the cushion to most chairs for a luxurious massage as you read, rest, or even work. See instructions on the use of the hand control.

STRAPPING SYSTEM

The cushion incorporates a unique strapping system that allows you to fasten it to almost any chair. Just slip the straps over the seat or chair and adjust fastening straps to secure. Your massager won't slip or slide away.

MAINTENANCE

TO STORE

Place massager in its box or in a safe, dry, cool place. Avoid contact with sharp edges or pointed objects that might cut or puncture the fabric surface. To avoid breakage, do not wrap the power cord around the unit. Do not hang the unit by the hand control cord.

TO CLEAN

Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before cleaning. Clean only with a soft, slightly damp sponge. Never allow water or any other liquids to come into contact with the unit.

• DO NOT immerse in any liquid to clean.
• NEVER use abrasive cleaners, brushes, gasoline, kerosene, glass/furniture polish, or paint thinner to clean.
• DO NOT attempt to repair the cushion. There are no user-serviceable parts. For service, call the Consumer Relations telephone number listed in the Warranty section.

To avoid pinching, do not lean on the massage mechanism in the cushion when adjusting your body position.
Do not jam or force any part of your body in the moving massage mechanism.

Note: There is a 15-minute auto shut-off on the unit for your safety.

Note: Not recommended for use on wooden surfaces as the zipper may damage the wood. Caution is also recommended when using on upholstered furniture.

Note: Only gentle force should be exerted against the unit in order to eliminate any/all risk of injury. You may soften massage force by placing a towel between yourself and the unit.
