Initial use

Use the sliding switch to select the desired function:

Use

IR heat/IR heat massage

Push the switch to 'W' to heat up the infrared area. This now starts to light up. After a few minutes, it is heated up and ready for use.

If the infrared area is heated up for a relatively long period without any skin contact, you may find the temperature uncomfortably high. Before application, please therefore always check the temperature of the infrared area with your fingertips. Switching off the infrared heat briefly can reduce the temperature.
When the temperature of the infrared area is correct, set the switch to 'W + M'. You can now start the infrared heat massage.
All parts of the body can be reached easily thanks to the pivoted joint of the massaging head and the possibility of adjusting the angle of the handle. The handle can be adjusted to 4 different settings by pressing the knob (Fig., no. 2).

Massage

Without exerting pressure, massage using slow, circular movements. Keep the skin taut to achieve optimum results.
Pictures are showing ideal massage directions:

To intensify the massage, we recommend the following massage heads:

1. Brush fitting: for intensive skin massages - very pleasant, circulation - stimulating effect
2. Knobbed fitting 2: for intensive and localised deep massages - particularly soothing after physical exertion
3. Knobbed fitting 1: for intensive massages to relieve muscle pain and tension
4. Tapered fitting: for intensive and localised deep massages - particularly soothing after physical exertion

Without the head, the massager is mainly used to massage sensitive parts of the body and to generate IR heat.

Worth knowing

Massage can be recommended as a suitable treatment as part of many forms of healthcare, fitness and training. Besides increasing general well-being, it is helpful for muscle aches, muscle tension, circulatory disorders and feelings of fatigue.
The additional warmth of the infrared lamp reinforces the massage effect not only by warming the surface of the skin but also by promoting the circulation. That way the deeper layers of the tissues and muscles are also reached.
