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 foot warmer must not be used by very young children (0-3 years old) as they are unable to respond to overheating.
• This foot warmer 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 foot warmer 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 foot warmer safely, and are fully aware of the consequent risks of use.

operation

Safety

CAUTION

•  The foot warmer has been provided with the INVENTUM SAFETY SYSTEM (ISS). This sensor technology prevents overheating of the foot warmer on the entire surface through automatic deactivation in case of breakdown. If the SAFETY SYSTEM has switched off the foot warmer, the temperature levels in activated condition are no longer lighted.
• Do note that for reasons of safety the foot warmer can no longer be used after a breakdown and should be sent to the indicated service address.

Initial use

CAUTION
Make sure the foot warmer does not fold or crumple during use. Insert the plug in the socket.

Switching on
To switch on the foot warmer, set the slider 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 heat up the foot warmer is to select the highest temperature setting of the control, first.

NOTE: This foot warmer has a fast heating function, which allows the foot warmer to warm up faster in the first 10 minutes.

WARNING: If the foot warmer is used continuously (for several hours) it is reccomended to use the lowest setting (1) of the control to avoid overheating of the feet of the user, which may lead to burns to the skin.

Automatic switch off

This foot warmer is equipped with an automatic switch-off function. This turns off the heat supply approx. 90 minutes after the initial use of the foot warmer. The temperature setting display then starts to flash. So that the foot warmer can be switched back on, the sliding switch for ON/OFF and temperature setting must first be set to setting 0 (OFF). After about 5 seconds it is possible to switch it on again.

 Switching off

To switch off the foot warmer, set the slider for ON/OFF and temperature settings to setting 0 (OFF). The temperature settings are then no longer illuminated.

NOTE
If the foot warmer is not in use, switch the sliding switch for ON/OFF and temperature settings to setting 0 (OFF) and unplug the mains plug from the socket.

cleaning & maintenance

WARNING
Before cleaning, always remove the mains plug from the socket first. Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.
CAUTION
The control must never get in contact to 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 foot warmer can be removed with a damp cloth or sponge, or if necessary, with a little liquid detergent for delicate laundry.

CAUTION
Please note that the foot warmer may not be washed, chemically cleaned, wrung out, tumble dried, put through a mangle or ironed. Failure to do so may damage the foot warmer.

•  The removable fleece lining can be washed by hand.
• Use a delicate laundry detergent and measure it out according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

WARNING

• Never switch on the foot warmer in order to dry it in this way! You will run the risk of an electric shock.
•  Only start using the foot warmer again when the inner cover and foot warmer have fully dried. Otherwise you will run the risk of an electric shock.

storage

If you do not plan to use the foot warmer for a long period of time, we recommend that you store it in the original packaging.
