Thank you very much

Thank you for your confidence in us and congratulations!

You have purchased the Foot Warmer FWS, a quality product by MEDISANA. To ensure the best results and long-term satisfaction with your MEDISANA Foot Warmer FWS, we recommend that you read the following operating and maintenance instructions carefully.

2.1 Items supplied and packaging

Please check first of all that the device is complete and is not damaged in any way. In case of doubt, do not use it and contact your dealer or your service centre.

The following parts are included:

1 MEDISANA foot warmer FWS with insert cover
1 Instruction manual

The packaging can be reused or recycled. Please dispose properly of any packaging material no longer required.

If you notice any transport damage during unpacking, please contact your dealer without delay.

WARNING

Please ensure that the polythene packing is kept away from the reach of children! Risk of suffocation!

2.2 Operation

Always make sure that the foot warmer is not creased or folded while it is in use. You must always use the foot warmer with the cover.

Switch the appliance on with the sliding switch on the control unit. Never use a clock timer!

Switch level 0 = Appliance switched off
Switch level 1 = Heat low
Switch level 2 = Heat medium
Switch level 3 = Heat high

During switch level 1, 2 and 3 the indicator light is illuminated, showing the adjusted level number contemporaneously. You can now enjoy the pleasant warmth at your feet.

After approx. 90 minutes the foot warmer automatically switches off. To switch the foot warmer on again, you must first move the sliding switch to position 0. After approx. 5 seconds you can switch the foot warmer back on by sliding the switch to level 1, 2 or 3. You can stop using the appliance at any time by moving the sliding switch to position 0. Disconnect the plug from the mains socket when you are not using the foot warmer.

WARNING

When the foot warmer is in operation, the control unit may warm up slightly. For this reason, the control unit must not be covered or placed on the foot warmer while the appliance is switched on.

Do not rely on your hands to test the heat of the foot warmer. Hands are considerably less sensitive towards heat than the rest of the body's surface. A temperature which is judged by the hand to be slightly warm can be felt by the feet to be unpleasantly hot.

The indicator light goes out if the safety system switches off the foot warmer due to a fault, even if the foot warmer is still switched on. The foot warmer must no longer be used after a fault has occurred. This is because safe operation of the appliance can no longer be guaranteed.

3.1

Cleaning and maintenance

The foot warmer can be cleaned dry with a soft brush. Small marks can be removed with a cloth or a slightly damp sponge, using a mild liquid cleaner. The foot warmer may not become wet. If it becomes damp it must be air-dried. Store the foot warmer in a dry place and do not place any objects on top of it.

Insert cover (interior)
