INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEATING OVERBLANKET

Lay the product directly on the bed aligning it with the feet edge (see fig. I). The power cord will come out from the side, approximately at your shoulder level when lying down normally. Make sure the product has no folds or creases. Check whether the power cord reaches the nearest mains socket. If necessary, you can turn the product so that the power cord comes out at the feet side. Do not fold the product under the mattress. If possible, do not use the product on adjustable beds or on twin mattresses; if this is the case, make sure the heating part and the power cord do not get nipped or damaged.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Plug the product into the mains socket, making sure your mains’ specifications correspond to those of the product stated on the label. First connect the power cord to the product and then to the mains socket. Use only the control unit originally provided with the product.
  2. If everything is correct the control unit is then automatically set at the level 0 which indicates that the product is switched off. All LED indicators will go off.
  3. Proceed to adjust the temperature among the four available settings by pushing the button on the control unit. The LED indicator corresponding to the temperature. Setting you have selected will remain lit. At this pint the product is running normally. After a few minutes you will be able to perceive warmth.
  4. To switch off the product proceed to push the button until all the LED indicators are off (level 0). The heating element remains switched off in this position. To turn the product on push the button. Remember to unplug the product from the mains if you do not use it for a considerable period of time.
  5. Unplug the product and let it cool down before folding it for storage.

SAFETY AUTO-OFF

To maximize safety when using the product, an additional safety switch off function has been incorporated into every control unit. This function sets a maximum period of time for which the product can operate continuously. The period is set for 12 hours for heating overbIankets. When this period has elapsed, the product will switch off automatically. This reduces the risk to the user of spending too much time in contact with the heating element, as well as the risk of leaving the product in operation unnecessarily. When the safety AUTO-OFF function is activated, the heating element is switched off and the LED indicators of the controller go off. To restart the product, push the control unit button.

ADVICE ON TEMPERATURE

Excessive heat continuously applied to the skin may produce skin burns. The maximum temperatures our products can ever reach are those permitted by the current regulations. The heating overblankets reach temperatures between 45°C and 55°C. (Note: all measures were collected in laboratory conditions with products totally covered, according to procedures described in the EW60335-2- 17 Standard). It usually takes 45 to 60 minutes for the product to reach the maximum temperature. You can set the control unit at the maximum level to obtain a faster warm up. Remember, however, that you should not use this setting continuously for more than one hour. After that time, we recommend that you lower the temperature gradually. For overnight or continuous use we recommend setting the unit at its lowest level (level 1). Benefits provided by these products have little to do with high temperatures and are based on a consistent, controlled low-level heat.

PEKATHERM TECHNOLOGY

This product family is specially designed to ensure a smooth low-level heat which, apart from comfort, provides recognised pain-relieving effects, since it dilates the blood vessels and enables muscular distension. The control unit was designed and developed together with the heating elements to assure the best performance
