FOR FUTURE USE!

Failure to comply with the following instructions can

cause personal injury or material damage (electric

shock, skin burns, ﬁre). The following safety instruc-

tions and hazard warnings are not only intended to

protect your own health and the health of others, but

also to prevent damage to the heating pad. Please

observe these safety instructions and pass on this

operating manual together with the heating pad.

DANGER TO LIFE AND RISK OF

ACCIDENTS FOR INFANTS AND

CHILDREN! Never leave children

unattended with the packaging material, as it

can cause suﬀocation.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

Do not use the heating pad if it is damp.

Do not misuse the mains cable to

carry or hang up the heating pad or

to pull the plug out of the socket. Keep

the cable away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

If the mains cable is damaged or severed, do

not touch it, and remove the mains plug imme-

diately. Damaged or tangled cables increase

the risk of an electric shock.

FOR INDOOR USE ONLY!

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

Do not stick needles or sharp objects

into the heating pad.

If you use a cardiac pacemaker,

please consult your doctor and the

manufacturer of the pacemaker be-

fore using this heating pad. The electric and

magnetic ﬁelds generated by this electric hea-

ting pad may under certain circumstances inter-

fere with the operation of cardiac pacemakers.

However, the levels are far below the permissi-

ble limits: details of these levels can be found

in the “Technical data” chapter.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

AND INJURY! Before every use, check the

heating pad carefully for signs of wear and / or

damage. Do not use it if you see wear and

tear or damage or if the machine has been

used incorrectly. In this case, return it to the

dealer before using it again.

Children or anyone lacking the knowledge or

experience to use the heating pad, or anyone

with restricted physical, sensory or mental ca-

pacities, must not use the heating pad without

supervision or instruction by a person responsi-

ble for their safety. Children must be supervised

to ensure that they do not play with the heating

pad.

RISK OF INJURY! Do not use this

heating pad for helpless persons,

infants or persons who are insensitive

to heat (e.g. diabetics, people with disease-

related changes to the skin or scarred skin in

the area of use, or after taking pain-relieving

medication or consuming alcohol).

The textiles used in this

device meet the high

human ecological

safety requirements of

the Öko-Tex Standard

100 as proven in tests at the TESTEX Research

Institute.

RISK OF BURNS! This heating

pad must not be used by children

unless the control

has been pre-

set by a parent or other responsible person, or

unless the child has been instructed suﬃciently

in how to use this heating pad safely.

CAUTION! Take care that you do

not fall asleep while the heating

pad is in operation. Excessively long

use can cause skin burns.

Do not use the heating pad on any part of the

body that is inﬂamed, injured or swollen. Seek

medical advice before using the heating pad if

in doubt. Such inﬂammation, injuries and / or

swelling may otherwise worsen.

Repairs must only be carried out by specially

trained personnel or at a repair shop authorised

by the manufacturer, since special tools are

necessary. Improper repairs may result in consi-

derable dangers for the user.

If the mains lead of the device is damaged, in

order to avoid causing further danger it must

be replaced by the manufacturer, a manufacturer-

approved repair centre or a suitably qualiﬁed

person.

AVOID DAMAGE TO THE

HEATING PAD!

Please make sure that you:

· only connect the heating pad to the voltage

indicated on the heating pad (label),

· only use the heating pad in conjunction with

the control

indicated on the heating pad

(label),

do not switch the heating pad on if

it is folded or bunched up,

· do not cause any sharp creases in the hea-

ting pad,

· do not place any objects, e.g. suitcase or

washing basket, on the heating pad when it

is switched on,

· do not place any sources of heat, e.g. hot

water bottle or similar, on the heating pad

when it is switched on.

These may all damage the heating pad.

Do not cover the control

and do not place

it on the heating pad when the pad is in opera-

tion. The electronic components in the control

of the heating pad cause the control

to heat

up slightly during operation.

Safety system

NOTE: the heating pad is equipped with a safety

system. The electronic sensor technology prevents the

entire surface of the heating pad from overheating

by automatically switching oﬀ in the event of a fault.

If the safety system switches the heating pad oﬀ

automatically as a result of a fault, the temperature

display on the control

will no longer be illumi-

nated when the heating pad is switched on.

Important safety instructions / Safety system

9 GB/IE

Please note that, for safety reasons, the heating

pad must not be used after a fault and must be

returned to the service address indicated.

Operation

NOTE: the heating pad may smell of plastic the

ﬁrst time you use it, but this will disappear after a

short period of time.

Switching on / oﬀ / Selecting

the temperature

To use the device, ﬁrst connect the control unit

to the heating pad by plugging the plug-in

connector

and the plug for the control unit

together (see Fig. B).

Switching on:

Set the control unit

to a setting 1–6 to

switch on the heating pad.

Switching oﬀ:

Set Level 0 on the control

to switch the

heating pad oﬀ.

Selecting the temperature:

Set the highest temperature level (Level 6)

shortly before use. This heats the pad fastest.

If you are going to use the device for a number

of hours, set it to the middle temperature setting

(setting 3).

Temperature levels

Set the required temperature level on the con-

trol

(see Fig. A).

Setting 0: oﬀ

Settings 1+2: minimum heat

Settings 3+4: medium heat

Settings 5+6: maximum heat

Automatic switch-oﬀ

NOTE: The heating pad switches itself oﬀ automat-

ically after about 90minutes. The LED indicator on

the control unit

shows “A”.

First select position “0” and after approx.

5seconds select the required temperature level

to switch the heating pad back on.

Switch the heating pad oﬀ (Level “0”) or take

the mains plug out of the socket if you do not

wish to use the heating pad after automatic

switch-oﬀ.
