Introduction
Thank you for selecting EUROPEAN TOUCH, the leading designer, manufacturer, and marketer of
pedicure spas in North America. The Solace®Forte’ and Solace®Altera pedicure spas (herein referred
to as pedicure spa) are innovative whirlpool pedicure spas that have been designed to serve you
dependably for many years. Please take time to thoroughly read this entire manual before installation
and use. If you have any problems or have questions regarding your pedicure spa, please contact
EUROPEAN TOUCH’s Technical Support Department at 1-800-626-6912, Monday through Friday 8
AM to 5 PM CST. After hours calls are recorded and attended to the next business day.
Important Requirements
EUROPEAN TOUCH requires that you contact a local, licensed plumber and licensed electrician to
install your new pedicure spa. Installation must be in compliance with all your local and state building
codes. Your pedicure spa cannot operate efficiently or safely unless it is provided with adequate
electrical power, sufficient water pressure, proper water temperature, and required drainage
capabilities. Contact your local building inspector for information and local code compliance
procedures that need to be followed when having your pedicure spa installed. Subsequent inspections
and approvals that may be required are the responsibility of the purchaser. (See limited warranty
regarding incidental or consequential exclusions – page 2).
Precautions
•Do not stand in the basin of the pedicure spa!
•Excessive water temperature is dangerous and should be checked before use.
Maximum operating water temperature should not exceed 105°F (41°C) and the
maximum supply water temperature should not exceed 150°F (65°C).
•Always enter and exit the pedicure spa slowly and carefully.
•Never bring or operate any electrical devices into or near the pedicure spa.
•This pedicure spa has a weight capacity of 250 pounds.
Health Risk Warning
Individuals whose feet or legs are inflamed or have open wounds should not be allowed to use
the pedicure spa at any time. Nail technicians should advise clients to consult their physician
before using the pedicure spa if there is any sign of fungal infection, swelling, fracture, or
persistent pain. In some cases diabetics may experience improved circulation in their feet, but
should first consult their physician prior to receiving a pedicure. If the client experiences any
pain or discomfort, immediately discontinue the use of the pedicure spa.
Your client’s massage and pedicure spa experience should be pleasant and comfortable.
