3. 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.
4. Intended use
This device is intended only for the massaging of individual parts of the human body. It cannot replace
medical treatment. Do not use the massage device if any of the following warnings apply to you. Please
consult your doctor if you are unsure whether or not the massage device is suitable for you.

W IR heat for deep results
W + M IR heat massage
8. Use
8.1 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.
Important: 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 in-
frared 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).
8.2. Massage
Without exerting pressure, massage using slow, circular movements. Keep the skin taut to achieve
optimum results.
Pictures are showing ideal massage directions:
➀  ➁ ➂ ➃
To intensify the massage, we recommend the following massage heads:
➀Brush fitting: for intensive skin massages - very pleasant, circulation - stimulating effect
➁Knobbed fitting 2: for intensive and localised deep massages - particularly soothing after physical
exertion
➂Knobbed fitting 1: for intensive massages to relieve muscle pain and tension
➃Tapered 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 gener-
ate IR heat.
