There is also an online Owner's Manual which is divided into three downloadable documents.

It is not necessary to download Part 1 as this is also covered in following videos which most users find easier to use. However, it is highly recommended that you download and read Parts 2 and 3. These contain valuable information and tips, and you will definitely gain more understanding of your Gentle Roller if you read these resources first.
