For this reason, pay attention to these safety notes and include these instructions when handing over the product to others.
This foot warmer must not be used by persons who are not sensitive to heat or by other vulnerable persons who may not be able to react to overheating (e.g. diabetics, people with skin alterations due to illness or scarred tissue in the application area, after taking pain relief medication or alcohol).
This foot warmer must not be used by very young children (0-3 years old) as they are unable to respond to overheating.
This foot warmer can be used by children older than 3 and younger than 8 years of age provided they are supervised. For this, the control must always be set to the minimum temperature.
This foot warmer may be used by children over the age of 8 and by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental skills or a lack of experience or knowledge, provided that they are supervised and have been instructed on how to use the foot warmer safely, and are fully aware of the consequent risks of use.

If they are not positioned properly, there may be a risk of becoming entangled in, being strangled by, tripping over, or stepping on the cable and control of the foot warmer. The user must ensure that excess lengths of cable, and cables in general, are safely routed.

Intended use

CAUTION: This foot warmer is intended only for heating human feet.

NOTE: This foot warmer is suitable for feet up to shoe size 47 (EU)/12.5 (UK).

Operation
4.1 Safety
CAUTION
• The foot warmer is fitted with a SAFETY SYSTEM. This sensor technology provides protection against
overheating across the entire surface of the foot warmer with an automatic switch-off in the event
of a fault. If the SAFETY SYSTEM has switched off the foot warmer, the temperature settings (4) are
no longer illuminated when switched on.
• Please note that, for safety reasons, the foot warmer can no longer be operated after a fault has
occurred and must be sent to the specified service address.
4.2 Initial use
Insert the power plug into the socket.
4.3 Switching on
To switch the foot warmer on, set the sliding switch for ON/OFF and temperature settings to setting 1, 2 or 3.
The temperature settings (4) are illuminated when switched on.

Setting the temperature

Level 0: OFF
Level 1: minimum heat
Level 2: medium heat
Level 3: maximum heat

NOTE

The fastest way to warm up the foot warmer is to initially set the highest temperature setting.
This foot warmer has a fast heating function, which allows the foot warmer to warm up faster in the first 10 minutes.

WARNING: If the foot warmer is being used over several hours, we recommend that you set the lowest temperature setting on the control to avoid overheating the feet, which may lead to burns to the skin.

Automatic switch-off

This foot warmer is equipped with an automatic switch-off function. This turns off the heat supply approx. 90 minutes after the initial use of the foot warmer. The temperature setting display then starts to flash. So that the foot warmer can be switched back on, the sliding switch for ON/ OFF and temperature settings (5) must first be set to setting “0” (OFF). After about 5 seconds it is possible to switch it on again.

Switching off

To switch the foot warmer off, set the sliding switch for ON/OFF and temperature settings to setting “0” (OFF).
The temperature settings are then no longer illuminated.

NOTE: If the foot warmer is not in use, switch the sliding switch for ON/OFF and temperature settings to setting “0” (OFF) and unplug the power plug from the socket.

Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING

Before cleaning, always remove the power plug from the socket first. Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.

CAUTION

The control must never come into contact with water or other liquids, as this may cause damage.

To clean the control, use a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use any chemical or abrasive cleaning agents.
Small marks on the foot warmer can be removed with a damp cloth and, if necessary, with a little liquid detergent for delicate laundry.

CAUTION

Please note that the foot warmer may not be washed, chemically cleaned, wrung out, tumble dried, put through a mangle or ironed. Otherwise the foot warmer may be damaged.
The removable fleece lining is machine washable at 30 °C on an extra-delicate cycle. Use a delicate laundry detergent and measure it out according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

WARNING: Only use the foot warmer again once the foot warmer and fleece insert have fully dried. Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.

Storage

If you do not plan to use the foot warmer for a long period of time, we recommend that you store it in the original packaging.

CAUTION

Please allow the foot warmer to cool down before storing. Otherwise the foot warmer may be damaged.
To avoid sharp folds in the foot warmer, do not place any object on top of it while it is being stored.
