Thank you for buying our kwmobile
Cold/Hot Gel Pack Compress as 2-pack. This manual will ensure smooth and comfortable use. Please read the instructions carefully before usage.

TECHNICAL DATA

USAGE

The Cold/Hot Gel Pack Compress can be used for the treatment of different body parts.
Please note the Gel Pack Compress is not to be used in direct contact with the skin. Always use it e.g. wrapped into a thin towel or on top of clothing.

COLD APPLICATION
Usage as cold compress is recommended e.g. to reduce swellings after surgery or injury, to lower feverish body temperature, or to soothe pain from light burns.

Please put the Gel Pack Compress into the freezer for at least 2 hours before use. For on-the-fly use it is recommended to wrap the compress into a towel and store it this way in the freezer.
As mentioned before, the Gel Pack Compress should be wrapped into a towel after taking it out of the freezer to avoid direct skin contact.
To intensify the cooling effect you can also use a wet towel.
Only use the compress for 15-20 minutes at a time and take a break of 30 minutes between applications. We suggest you repeat this usage every 1-1.5 hours until you feel an improvement.

HOT APPLICATION
Usage as hot compress is recommended e.g. to soothe muscle, abdominal or back pain, or arthritis.

Warming up with hot water
- Boil approx. 4-5 l water in a wide pot.
- Take the pot from the hotplate, wait for a while, and place the Gel Pack Compress into the hot water.
- After 10 minutes the compress is sufficiently warm and ready for use. Remove the Compress from the water and wrap it with a towel.
Warming up with a microwave
- Before putting the Gel Pack Compress into the microwave, flatten it to ensure the gel is evenly distributed.
- In case the compress is stored at room temperature, heat it in the microwave for approx. 90-120 seconds at 600 watts. Heat it initially for approx. 60 sec from one side, then 30 sec. from the other side. In case the compress is still not hot enough, heat it again for approx. 30 sec. and let it cool down a bit if necessary.
- If the compress has been stored in the free- zer, the time to heat it should be extended by approx. 60-90 seconds.
- Alternatively, the compress can be put into a microwaveable box filled with water (until the compress is covered) and heated up in a microwave for approx. 60 seconds.
- The time needed to heat the compress may vary depending on the microwave. We recommend taking notes about your own experience for future use.
