Operating Make sure, the connection cable of the control unit is properly connected to the plug of the heat pad. Plug the unit into the main outlet and move the slider control 2 from position 0 to position 1. The power LED 1 will light up. When switching up and down the different levels, the indicator lamp flashes twice briefly and then comes on permanently. After a few minutes you will be able to feel the pad getting noticeably warmer. If you require a higher temperature setting, move the switch to the next positions 2, 3, 4, 5 or the maximum heat setting, position 6. If the heat pad gets too hot for you, move the slider back to position 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1. After a short time, the heat pad will cool down. Level 2 – 6 of the device is intended for heating up, only level 1 is for continuous operation.

To switch the unit off, move the switch back to position 0. The power LED 1 will go out, indicating that the unit is switched off. Unplug the unit from the mains outlet. Move the switch to position 1 for any continuous use. The heat pad will switch off automatically after approx. 90 minutes of continuous use. To switch it back on again, move the slider switch to position 0 and then back to the desired heat setting.
Unplug the unit from the main outlet once you have finished using it.

Troubleshooting

If there is no function at all after switching on the heat pad (power LED 1 shows no light), please check if the mains plug is correctly plugged in the mains outlet. If this is the case, the heat pad is defective. Please do not use the heat pad and contact the service center.

Cleaning and maintenance

• Before cleaning the pad, unplug it from the main outlet and let it cool down for at least ten minutes.
• The heat pad is equipped with a removable control unit (HP 622). Unplug the control unit from the heat pad by pulling out the connection cable from the plug on the heat pad.
• The heat pad can be cleaned with a soft brush when dry.
• The appliance can be machine washed at 40° in a delicate program or by hand gently. The best way to do this is to put the heated underblanket in a bath with lukewarm water and some mild detergent and then gently squeeze it out.
• Rinse the pad several times to get rid of any remaining detergent.
• Never use strong detergents or hard brushes.
• To dry, lay the pad flat on a moisture-absorbent towel or mat.
