safety instructions

Important safety instructions – Read carefully and keep for later use!

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 control 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 control 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 control 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 control warm-up when the heat pad is in use. For this reason, the control 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.

Intended use

CAUTION
This heating pad is only designed to warm up the human body.

Operation

Safety

CAUTION

The heating pad is ﬁtted with the INVENTUM SAFETY SYSTEM (ISS). This sensor technology provides protection against overheating across the entire surface of the heating pad with an automatic switch off in the event of a fault. If the SAFETY SYSTEM has switched off the heating pad, the temperature settings are no longer illuminated when switched on.
Please note that for safety reasons, the heating pad can no longer be operated after a fault has occurred and must be sent to the speciﬁed service address.
Do not connect the defective heat pad with another control of the same type. This would trigger a permanent switch off via the control’s safety system.

Initial use

CAUTION
Ensure that the heating pad will not bunch up or become folded during use.

First, connect the controller to the heating pad by inserting the plug-in coupling.
Then plug the mains plug into the socket.

Switching on
To switch the heating pad on, set the sliding switch for ON/OFF and temperature settings to setting 1, 2 or 3. The temperature setting is illuminated when switched on.

Setting the temperature

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

NOTE
The fastest way to warm up the heating pad is to initially set the highest temperature setting of the control, ﬁrst.
NOTE
This heating pad have a turbo function, which allows the heating pad to warm up faster in the ﬁrst 10 minutes.
CAUTION
If the heating pad is being used over several hours it is recommended to use the lowest setting (1) of the control to avoid overheating the heated body part, which may lead to burns to the skin.

Automatic switch-off
This heating pad is equipped with an automatic switch-off function. This turns off the heat supply approx. 90 minutes after the initial use of the heating pad. The temperature setting display then starts to ﬂash. So that the heating pad can be switched back on, the sliding switch for ON/OFF and temperature settings 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 heating pad off, set the sliding switch for ON/OFF to setting 0 (OFF) position. The temperature settings are then no longer illuminated.

NOTE
If the heating pad is not in use, switch the side sliding switch for ON/OFF and temperature settings to the OFF (0) position and remove the mains plug from the socket. Then disconnect the control from the heating pad by unplugging the plug-in coupling.

Cleaning & maintenance

WARNING
Before cleaning, always remove the mains plug from the socket ﬁrst. Then disconnect the control from the heating pad by unplugging the plug-in coupling. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock.

CAUTION

The control must never come into contact with water or other liquids. Otherwise, the control may be damaged. To clean the control, use a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use any chemical or abrasive cleaning agents.
Small marks on the heating pad can be removed with a damp cloth or sponge, or if necessary, with a little liquid detergent for delicate laundry.

CAUTION

Please note the heating pad must not be dry-cleaned, wrung out, machine dried, pressed or ironed.
In case of heavier soiling, this heating pad can be washed in a washing machine. Set the washing machine to a particularly gentle, 30 °C cycle (woolens program). Use a wool laundry detergent and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

CAUTION

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.
Immediately after washing, reshape the heating pad to its original dimensions while it is still damp and spread it out ﬂat over clothes drying rack to dry.

CAUTION

Do not attach the heating pad to washing lines with washing pegs or similar. Otherwise, the heating pad may be damaged.
Do not reconnect the switch to the heating pad until the plug-in connection and the heating pad are completely dry. Otherwise, the heating pad may be damaged.

WARNING
Under no circumstances switch on the heating pad to dry it. Otherwise, there is a risk of an electric shock.

Storage

If you do not plan to use the heating pad for a long period of time, we recommend that you store it in the original packaging. For this purpose, disconnect the control from the heating pad by unplugging the plug-in coupling.

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 any objects on top of it while it is being stored.

Disposal

Legislation requires that all electrical and electronic equipment must be collected for reuse and recycling. Electrical and electronic equipment marked with the symbol indicating a separate collection of such equipment must be returned to a municipal waste collection point.
