Product Usage Instructions

Before First Use
Before using the foot warmer for the first time, it needs to be unfolded before switching on. Ensure the power cord is not tight because if pulled, it may partially pull the plug from the socket.
A partially inserted plug will overheat the plug and socket and could result in fire.

Everyday Use
Plug the foot warmer into the mains power supply and switch on the power mains. Press the button on the controller to turn on the foot warmer. The heat level LED indicator will light up, meaning the blanket is powered on this heat mode. Press the button to switch to suitable heat mode. This controller has 4 heat levels, allowing you to set the perfect temperature within minutes. If the controller shuts down, make sure the pad and controller connectors are securely connected and then re-start the product by pressing the button. The foot warmer is fitted with an auto-off function that turns off the product after 90 minutes of operation. To turn off the foot warmer at any point, press the button and unplug when it is not in use.

Care and Cleaning
Always allow the foot warmer to cool before folding and/or storing. When not in use, roll or fold it loosely and store it in a blanket bag. Avoid creating sharp creases in the foot warmer; for example, do not store it under other items that may result in bending the element wires of the foot warmer.
