Introduction

We are happy that you have decided on a product from our range. Our name stands for high-quality and thoroughly tested products from the areas of warmth, blood pressure, body temperature, weight, gentle therapy, massage and air.
Please read these instructions for use carefully and follow the directions.

Proper Use

This heating pad is designed for warming the human body. It allows you to apply targeted warmth. Heat promotes the circulation and relaxes the muscles. This heating pad is not intended for use in hospitals or for commercial applications. In particular, it may not be used on infants, small children, persons insensitive to heat, helpless persons or animals.
This heating pad is made of breathable velour and is very adaptable and agreeable to the skin.
The detachable switch allows the pad to be cleaned in the washing machine (see cleaning instructions).
When used for the first time, the heating pad may start to smell of plastic but this will soon go away.
This heating pad can be used all purposes, for example, on the stomach, back, joints or neck. If used for the neck area, the heating pad can be rolled up.
The pull-out Velcro fastenings make it very easy to fasten to the body. The elastic ensures that the heat is always positioned optimally.

Operation

Safety

This heating pad has a SAFETY SYSTEM. This electronic sensor technology prevents the entire surface of the heating pad from overheating by automatically switching off in the event of a fault. If the safety system switches off the heating pad automatically as a result of a fault, the indicator lamp is no longer illuminated even when the heating pad is switched on. Please note that, after a fault has occurred, the heating pad can no longer be used for safety reasons and must be sent to the service address indicated.

Selecting temperature

The fastest way to heat up the heating pad is to first set the switch to the highest setting. A lower setting can be selected later if required.
After switching on the heating pad, the setting starts flashing briefly, while the heating pad conducts a self-test. Then the setting remains illuminated continuously.

Temperature settings

Setting:
0 Off
1 Minimum heat
2 Medium heat
3 Maximum heat

Automatic switch-off function

These heating pads have an automatic switchoff function which stops the heat supply approx. 90 minutes after switching on the pad. The illuminated function display then starts to flash. To operate the heating pad again, you must first set the switch to zero. After about 5 seconds, it can be switched on again. If the heating pad is no longer used after the timed switch-off, it should be switched off (setting "0") or else unplugged from the mains.

Fast heating

These heating pads have a fast heating function which allows them to heat up quickly within the first 10 minutes.

Cleaning and Care

Before cleaning the pad, always unplug it from the mains. Smaller stains can be removed using a cloth or moist sponge together with a little liquid detergent for delicate fabrics if necessary. Do not use any cleaning agents containing solvents on the appliance.
Please note that the heating pad should not be dry-cleaned, wrung out, machinedried, pressed or ironed.
Before washing, first remove the plug-in connection together with the switch from the heating pad. Set the washing machine to a gentle washing cycle at 40°C.
For ecological reasons, we recommend that the heating pad is only washed together with other textiles.

Use a washing powder or liquid for delicate fabrics and dose it according to the manufacturers instructions. Do not reconnect the switch to the heating pad until the plug-in connection and the heating pad are completely dry. Please note that excessive washing will wear out the heating pad. For this reason, the heating pad should only be machine-washed a maximum of 10 times throughout its entire life.
When drying the heating pad, do not use clothes pegs or anything similar, and never switch the heating pad on to dry it!

Storage

If you are not going to use the heating pad for some time, we recommend storing it in its original packaging in a dry place without weighing it down.
