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 pins.

• 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 the cable and control 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. 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.

operation

Safety

CAUTION

• The heat pad is fitted with a the INVENTUM SAFETY SYSTEM (ISS). This sensor technology provides protection against overheating across the entire surface of the heat pad with an automatic switchoff in the event of a fault. If the SAFETY SYSTEM has switched off the heat pad, the temperature settings are no longer illuminated when switched on.
• Please note that for safety reasons, the heat 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 switchoff via the control’s safety system.

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

• First, connect the control to the heat pad by inserting the plug-in coupling.
• Then plug the mains plug into the socket.

Switching on
To switch the heat 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 heat pad is to initially set the highest temperature setting of the control, first.
NOTE
This heat pad have a turbo function, which allows the heat pad to warm up faster in the first 10 minutes.
CAUTION
If the heat 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 heat pad is equipped with an automatic switch-off function. This turns off the heat supply approx. 90 minutes after the initial use of the heat pad. The temperature setting display then starts to flash. So that the heat 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 heat 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 heat 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 heat 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 heat 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 heat 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 heat pad must not be dry-cleaned, wrung out, machine dried, pressed or ironed.

• In case of heavier soiling, this heat pad can be washed in a washing machine.
• Set the washing machine to a particularly gentle, 30 °C cycle (woolens programme). Use a wool laundry detergent and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

CAUTION
Please note that excessive washing will wear out the heat pad. For this reason, the heat pad should only be machine-washed a maximum of 10 times throughout its entire life.

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

CAUTION

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

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

storage

If you do not plan to use the heat 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 heat pad by unplugging the plug-in coupling.

CAUTION

• Please allow the heat pad to cool down first. Otherwise, the heat pad may be damaged.
• To avoid sharp folds in the heat 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 separate collection of such equipment must be returned to a municipal waste collection point
