Important safety
instructions
IMPORTANT INFORMATION! PLEASE STORE
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.
8 GB/IE
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
1
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
1
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
1
and do not place
it on the heating pad when the pad is in opera-
tion. The electronic components in the control
1
of the heating pad cause the control
1
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
1
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
1
to the heating pad by plugging the plug-in
connector
2
and the plug for the control unit
3
together (see Fig. B).
Switching on:
Set the control unit
1
to a setting 1–6 to
switch on the heating pad.
Switching off:
Set Level 0 on the control
1
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
1
(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 90minutes. The LED indicator on
the control unit
1
shows “A”.
First select position “0” and after approx.
5seconds 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.
Cleaning and care
Use the heating pad with the textile cover to
prevent soiling or damage to the heating pad
(particularly if using essential oils and creams).
RISK TO LIFE
FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK! Before
cleaning the heating pad, always
pull the mains plug out of the mains socket and
separate the plug-in connector
2
from the
plug for the control unit
3
(see Fig. B).
DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Do not reconnect the control
1
to
the heating pad until the
plug-in connector
2
and the heating pad are
completely dry. There is otherwise a risk of an
electric shock.
DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
DANGER OF MATERIAL
DAMAGE! Do not under any
circumstances switch the heating pad on to dry
help it dry.
Do not use chemical cleaners or scouring
agents to clean the heating pad or the control
unit
1
. Otherwise the heating pad could be
damaged.
Never immerse the control unit
1
in water or
other liquids. Otherwise you might damage it.
Do not hang the heating pad up to dry with pegs
or similar. The heating pad may otherwise be
damaged.
Use a dry, fluff-free cloth to clean and care for
the heating pad and the control unit
1
.
Safety system / Operation / Cleaning and care
10 GB/IE
Cleaning and care / Storage / Warranty
To remove stubborn dirt from the heating pad,
you can dampen the cloth or moisten it with
a little mild liquid detergent.
First open the zip fastener on the textile cover
and take out the heating pad.
Clean the textile cover in accordance with the
cleaning symbols on the label:
The heating pad and removable
cover are machine washable. Set
the washing machine on a gentle
30 °C washing program.
Do not bleach. Do not use detergents
containing bleach (such as full tem-
perature range washing powders or
liquids).
Do not dry the heating pad or the
removable cover in the tumble dryer.
Do not iron the heating pad or the
removable cover.
Do not clean with chemicals / dry
clean.
Take care when replacing the heating pad in
the textile cover that the cable exits at the end
of the zip. It will not otherwise be possible to
close the zip.
For ecological reasons, please only wash the
heating pad together with other textiles. Use
a mild laundry detergent according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Please note that frequent washing will cause
wear to the heating pad. It should therefore be
washed no more than max. 10 times in a washing
machine throughout its useful life.
Please note that the heating pad may not be
dry cleaned, bleached, wrung out, dried
mechanically, mangled or ironed.
