Safety Instructions
Important safety instructions – read carefully and keep for later reference!
WARNING
- Non-observance of the following notes may result in personal injury or material damage (electric shock, skin burns, fire). The following safety and hazard information is not only intended to protect your health and the health of others, it should also protect the product. For this reason, pay attention to these safety notes and include these instructions when handing over the product to others.
- This heat pad 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 heat pad must not be used by very young children (0-3 years old) as they are unable to respond to overheating.
- The heat pad can be used by children older than 3 and younger than 8 years of age provided they are supervised. For this, the controller must always be set to the minimum temperature.
- This heat pad 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 heat pad safely, and are fully aware of the consequent risks of use.
- Children must not play with the heat pad.
- Cleaning and user maintenance must not be performed by children unless supervised.
- This heat pad is not designed for use in hospitals.
- This heat pad is only intended for domestic/private use, not for commercial use.
- Do not insert needles.
- Do not use when folded or bunched up.
- Do not use if wet.
- This heat pad may only be used in conjunction with the controller specified on the label.
- This heat pad must only be connected to the mains voltage that is specified on the label.
- The electrical and magnetic fields emitted by this heat pad may interfere with the function of a pacemaker. However, they are still well below the limits: electrical field strength: max. 5000 V/m, magnetic field strength: max. 80 A/m, magnetic flux density: max. 0.1 millitesla. Please therefore consult your doctor and the manufacturer of your pacemaker before using this heat pad.
- Do not pull, twist or make sharp bends in the cables.
- 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 controller of the heat pad. The user must ensure that excess lengths of cable, and cables in general, are safely routed.
- Please check this heat pad frequently for signs of wear and tear or damage. If any such signs are evident, if the heat pad has been used incorrectly or if it no longer heats up, it must be checked by the manufacturer before being switched on again.
- Under no circumstances should you open or repair the heat pad (including the accessories) yourself because faultless functionality can no longer be guaranteed thereafter. Failure to observe this will invalidate the warranty.
- If the mains connection cable of this heat pad is damaged, it must be disposed of. If it cannot be removed, the heat pad must be disposed of.
- When this heat pad is switched on:
- Do not place any sharp objects on it
- Do not place any heat sources, such as hot water bottles, heat pads or similar, on it.
- The electronic components in the controller warm up when the heat pad is in use. For this reason, the controller must never be covered or placed on the heat pad when it is in use.
- It is essential to observe the information relating to the following chapters: Operation, Cleaning and maintenance, Storage.
- If you should have any questions about using our devices, please contact our Customer Services department.
Product Description

- Switch
- Heating pad
Prescribed Use
CAUTION!
The heating pad is only intended for heating the human body.
Operation
Safety
CAUTION!
- The heating pad has been provided with a SAFETY SYSTEM. This sensor technology prevents overheating of the heating pad on the entire surface through automatic deactivation in case of breakdowns. When the SAFETY SYSTEM has switched off the heating pad, the temperature levels in in activated condition are no longer lighted.
- Do note that for reasons of safety the heating pad can no longer be used after a breakdown and should be sent to the indicated service address.
- Never connect the faulty heating pad to a different switch of the same type. This would also ensure a final deactivation through the safety system in the switch.
Use
CAUTION!
Make sure the heating pad does not fold or crumple during use.
- First connect the switch to the connection point in the heating pad by connecting the plug.
- Then insert the plug in the socket.
Switching On
Press the ON/OFF button to switch on the heating pad. The display switches on – position 1 – deactivation time 90 minutes.
To set the required heating position, press the + button. To lower the required heating position, press the – button.
Setting the Heating Position
Position 1: minimum heating – suitable for long-term use
Positions 2-5: separately adjustable heating
Position 6: maximum heating
ATTENTION
The heating pad heats up the fastest when you first switch on a higher temperature position.
ATTENTION
The heating pad has been provided with turbo heating, which ensures quick heating within the first 10 minutes.
WARNING
If the heating pad is used for several hours, we recommend setting the lowest heating position (position 1) to prevent the user’s body part to be heated from overheating and prevent possible resulting burns.
Automatic Deactivation Function
This heating pad has been provided with an automatic deactivation function. This means that the supply of heat is stopped approx. 30, 60 or 90 minutes after the heating pad was activated. Repeatedly press the TIMER button to set the automatic deactivation at the required time – 30, 60 or 90 minutes.
Once the set time has expired, the heating pad is switched off. The display is off.
To be able to use the heating pad again, the ON/OFF button should be pressed first in order to switch on the heating pad. Select the required heating position and deactivation time.
Switching Off
Press the ON/OFF button to switch off the heating pad. The display no longer lights up.
ATTENTION
If the heating pad is not used for a number of days, you must switch it off with the ON/OFF button and remove the plug from the socket. Then disconnect the switch from the heating pad by removing the plug.
Cleaning and Maintenance
WARNING
Before cleaning the heating pad, always remove the plug from the socket. Otherwise you will run the risk of an electric shock. Then disconnect the switch from the heating pad by removing the plug. Otherwise the heating pad could get damaged.
CAUTION!
The switch may never come into contact with water or other liquids. It could get damaged as a result.
- Use a dry lint-free cloth for cleaning the switch. Do not use chemical cleaning agents or abrasives.
- Small stains on the heating pad can be removed with a cloth or a damp sponge and, if necessary, a little bit of gentle detergent liquid.
CAUTION!
The heating pad should not be dry cleaned, spun, dried in the machine, mangled or ironed. Otherwise the heating pad could get damaged.
- In case of a stronger level of contamination, the heating pad can be washed in the washing machine.
- Set the washing machine to a 30 °C program (wool program). Out of environmental considerations, we recommend washing the heating pad at the same time as other items. Use a gentle detergent in accordance with the manufacturer’s dosing instructions.
CAUTION!
Note that excessive washing will wear out the heating pad. For this reason, the heating pad should only be machine-washed a maximum of 5 times throughout its entire life.
- Immediately after washing, pull the heating pad in its original size and form while still wet, and leave it lying flat on a drying rack.
CAUTION!
- Do not use pegs or other clamps to attach the heating pad to the drying rack. Otherwise the heating pad could get damaged.
- Only connect the switch to the heating pad when the plug connection and pad are fully dry. Otherwise the heating pad could get damaged.
WARNING
Never switch on the heating pad in order to dry it in this way! You will run the risk of an electric shock.
Storing
If you do not use the heating pad for a longer period of time, we recommend storing it in its original packaging. For this, remove the plug of the switch from the connection of the heating pad.
CAUTION!
- Please allow the heating pad to cool down first. Otherwise, the heating pad may be damaged.
- To avoid sharp folds in the heating pad, do not place objects on top of it while it is being stored.
