Carefully read the instructions for use. Keep them in a safe place for future reference.

Before turning on your heating pad, check that the voltage of your electric supply is the same as that indicated on the label or on the plastic printing attached to the heating pad. In those that incorporate a power supply or network adaptor, check that that the voltage of your electric supply corresponds to that indicated on the adaptor label. With these heating pads, only use adaptor supplied, avoiding exchange with other devices.

In the case of heating pads with disconnectable controller, only use the controller that comes with the heating pad. Do not exchange with other devices.

For the correct use of the heating pad, do not fold it and avoid the molding and creases. Do not stick it with pins, needles or other sharp metal objects. Do not cover it with objects or place things on top of it during storage.

Do not use the heating pad if it is moist or wet. Do not place it under water. For cleaning, read the maintenance section of this manual.

Invalid, handicapped and people insensitive to heat as well as children should not use the heating pad without direct supervision. It should also not be used under the effects of alcohol, sleeping pills, sedatives or drugs. Do not use the heating pad to warm animals. If you have a pacemaker or other cardiovascular devices, even though the electromagnetic field generated by this heating pad is very low, we recommend that you check with your doctor before using the product.

The prolonged use of the heating pad at maximum level is susceptible to provoking skin burns. When the heating pad is used for long periods of time – for example, to sleep with – the controls should be adjusted as recommended in the manual for continuous use (heat setting 1).

This device was not conceived for medical use in hospitals.

It is important that the power cord is not wound up or touching the heating pad during use. To unplug the pad, do not pull on the cord or use it as a strap.

ENGLISH

Examine the heating pad frequently, including the controller and the flexible cord, to detect possible signs of wear or damage. If there is damage, do not use the product and contact an authorized technical service center.

Incorrect use or manipulation of the heating pad will not be covered by the warranty; for repair, only use a technical service center authorized by the manufacturer.

Especialidades Eléctricas Daga, S.A. declines all responsibility for damage that could occur to people, animals or objects, for not abiding these warnings.

C. Key to select operation time.

Control panel

D. Yellow light: indicates the activation of the safety au-tostop.

E. Red lights: indicate the selected heat setting.

F. Green lights: indicate the selected operation time.

BASIC CHARACTERISTICS

Various additional functions have been incorporated in this new generation of controllers exclusive to the new and innovative line of DA-GA ergonomic heating pads.

WORK MODES

It offers the user 2 work modes:

a. Free mode: The regulator works non-stop in the heat setting selected by the user.

b. Autostop mode: The regulator activates the heating pad, in the heat setting and for the amount of time selected by the user. After this time has passed, the regulator automatically disconnects the heating pad. There are 3 different operation times to choose from: 45, 60 and 90 minutes.

AUTOMATIC HEAT DECREASE

To avoid possible risks due to too much contact with the heating pad at a high temperatures, the regulator constantly supervises the operation as well as the temperature of the heating pad intervening, if necessary, to lower the temperature. This automatic temperature decrease takes place after approximately 2h of continuous operation at high temperatures.

ENGLISH

AUTOMATIC SAFETY AUTOSTOP

To avoid possible risks due to accidentally leaving the heating pad on for a prolonged amount of time, a safety automatic Autostop standard feature has been incorporated that activates after 8h of non-stop operation, without the user having to touch the controller. After activating this safety Autostop, the heating pad will disconnect from the power supply and the controller will indicate this circumstance by lighting up the yellow light Autostop indicator.

To leave the Autostop mode, just press any key on the controller. The regulator will move the default mode (free mode, heat setting 1).

USAGE MODE

1) Connect the heating pad to the correct power supply. In the models with an adaptor, first connect the cord to the heating pad, and then, plug in the adaptor to the power supply.
2) To turn it on, use the controller and turn the side On/Off switch to the "I" position.

Immediately, the electronic controller will do a quick check to detect possible anomalies indicated on the panel through a light scan. Then, the default work mode will be configured: Light 1 on (minimum heat setting) and Free mode (no time selected).

3) Next, adjust the heat setting using one of the 4 possible levels, repeatedly pressing the temperature selection key 📁. From now on, the heating pad will operate normally in Free mode. In this mode, only the red light on the control panel will be on, indicating the temperature selected, while all the others are off.
4) You can select an Autostop time at any time, pressing the key as many times as you like.

The green lights indicate, at all times, the preselected operation time. If no green time light is on, it will return to the Free mode. Once the preselected operation time has passed, the heating pad will disconnect and all the temperature lights on the control panel will turn off and the preselected operation time indicator light will turn back on. Press any key to immediately return to the Free mode.

5) To turn off the heating pad, turn the side On/Off switch to the "O" position.

To the start using your heating pad, we recommend that you put the regulator at the maximum position (heat setting 4) for 20 minutes for quick heating. Then, lower to desired temperature. It is advisable that the maximum heat setting (level 4) be used only during the first 20 min of operation in order to quickly heat the heating pad; however, if you do not follow this instruction, and as a safety measure, the heating pad will automatically lower its temperature after approximately 2h of non-stop operation.

ENGLISH

On this point, we remind you that the beneficial effects of heat supplied by the heating pad do not need high temperatures and continuous skin exposure to heat could cause burns. The highest heat settings should only be used for the time necessary to reach a comfortable temperature. It should then be turned gradually down.

As previously indicated, after prolonged use of the heating pad at the 3 and 4 heat settings, if you feel the temperature decreasing, it is not a failure; but rather the activation of the automatic elevated temperature time control system, incorporated in the Daga heating pads, to avoid excessive application of heat to the skin.

When storing the heating pad, let it cool off before putting away and do not place objects on top of it.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

PROBLEM SOLUTION
The controller does not turn on when I move the side On/Off switch	Make sure the power supply is working and that the heating pad is correctly plugged in.For heating pads with incorporated adaptors, also check the connection between the adaptor and the heating pad.Also, make sure that the side On/Off switch is in the “I” position.
The heating pad doesn’t warm up	The preselected operation time stop or safety Autostop could have activated itself. Verify that the heating pad is working by checking that some of the red lights are turned on. In case of doubt, press any of the keys to return to the Free mode or turn the heating pad off and on again.
After turning it on, the control panel does not configure the Free mode, heat setting 1, and the heating pad does not heat up.	The controller could have found an anomaly in the start-up and blocked the heating pad’s operation for safety purposes.Turn the controller off and on again. If this incidence persists, please contact our authorized technical service center.
After the turning the pad on, the controller correctly configures the Free mode, heat setting 1, but the heating pad doesn’t heat up.	If you do not feel heat, cover it with a blanket, towel or thick cloth, place the regulator at the maximum position and wait 45 minutes. If this does not work, contact our authorized technical service center. Tests done with the heating pad uncovered or outdoors are not reliable because they can give erroneous heat evaluations.
The heating pad doesn’t heat up enough	If the heat is not sufficient at its maximum position, we recommend you place it directly on the skin, covering the other side with a towel or similar item, this way impeding that the heat is released into the air.

ENGLISH

PROBLEM SOLUTION
The control panel shows incomprehensible information. The lights don't stop flashing.	The controller could have found an anomaly in the start-up and blocked the heating pad's operation for safety purposes. Turn the controller off and on again. If the anomaly persists, please contact our authorized technical service center.

The heating pads reach temperatures between 65^ and 75^ C at their maximum position. This data should serve as a guideline. Monitoring is carried out in laboratories, according to the procedure in the UNE-EN 60335-2-17 directive.

THERMO-APPLICATIONS

NAPE OF THE NECK-CERVICAL HEATING PAD - NC and NAPE OF THE NECK-CERVICAL-DORSAL HEATING PAD - NCD

Fatigue coming from daily activities, reproduces itself as muscle contractions, cervical pain, ...The different physical efforts accumulate in the most sensitive areas, especially in the nape of the neck, upper vertebras and back area, creating general discomfort and, in the most acute cases, persistent pain.

With the NC and NCD heating pads, DAGA offers an efficient system to effectively fight pain in the nape of the neck, upper vertebras and upper back, which are the most frequent areas affected by this type of discomfort and muscular tension.

The NC model is placed around the neck and held in place with Velcro that comes with a cloth cover, so it sits right under the chin.

TOTAL BACK HEATING PAD - ET

The total back heating pad is indicated for its use on the back, shoulders and thorax area.

The back is an area of the body with little heat sensitivity; therefore, you should control the application time when using high heat settings. The highest heat settings of the regulator should only be used for the amount of time it takes to reach a comfortable temperature, and then be turned gradually down.

To facilitate its adaptation to the shoulder-back area, the heating pad cover comes with two Velcro fasteners at the upper part of the shoulders and a clasp at the waist. The final fit of the heating pad is like a backpack that completely covers the shoulder-back-lower back area.

ENGLISH

To put it on, we recommend the following process:

1) Place the heating pad with its cover on a flat surface, stretch out the upper straps and open the waist belt so that the two Velcro straps at the shoulder area are facing downwards and the belt-straps upwards (see figure 1).
2) Stick the upper straps to the Velcro at the shoulder area, forming two wide circles (see figure 2).
3) Put the heating pad on the back as if it were a vest (see figure 3).
4) Adjust the two upper straps, so that they cover the shoulders.
5) Fit the belt clasp formed by the two lower straps and adjust it to the waist (see figure 4).

To better appreciate the heat, we recommend that you adjust the pad to the body using the three fastening elements and cover it with a piece of clothing. (See Fig.1 to Fig.4)

BENEFITS OF FLEXIBLE HEAT

The ergonomic heating pads are indicated for local discomforts. Take into account that the application of dry heat generates an increase in body temperature, so it should be used in measured doses in order benefit from the therapeutic effects:

• Helps to fight thermo-sensitive microorganisms such as virus or bacteria.
• Contributes to improving the immunological system because heat increases the number of white blood cells (defenses) in the treated area.
• Helps eliminate toxic waste and generates perspiration.
• Optimizes the vitality of the organs for a vasodilator effect that increases circulation in the affected area and fights the symptoms of vascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis.
• Helps treat minor or moderate inflammatory processes.

Locally, absorbed heat applications also increase the number red blood cells, and therefore, oxygen to the area, which vitalizes and optimizes cellular metabolism and accelerates the remedial processes of muscular and articular discomfort.

However, we recommend that you do not apply the heating pad to areas of the body that are swollen, injured or bloated without first consulting your doctor.
