Where to use the unit
● Ensure there is adequate space to recline. 
●  Do not expose the massage lounger to direct sunlight or high temperatures, such as in front of 
heating sources, because this can cause discoloration or hardening of the synthetic leather.
●   Place the unit on a mat to prevent floor damage. When placing a mat under the unit, the size of 
the mat should be sufficient (at least 120 c m × 70 cm (47.2 in. 

× 27.6 in.)) to cover the areas 
where the unit touches and where the leg rest could touch the floor, as shown in the diagram 
on the above.
● Install the unit near a power outlet. ●  
For details on the dimensions of the unit, see 
page EN9.
