• Non-observance of the following notes may result in personal injury or material damage (electric shock, skin burns, fire). The following safety and hazard information is not only intended to protect your health and the health of others, it should also protect the product. For this reason, pay attention to these safety notes and include these instructions when handing over the product to others.

• This heat pad must not be used by persons who are not sensitive to heat or by other vulnerable persons who may not be able to react to overheating (e.g. diabetics, people with skin alterations due to illness or scarred tissue in the application area, after taking pain relief medi

• This heat pad must not be used by very young children (0-3 years old) as they are unable to respond to overheating.

• The heat pad can be used by children older than 3 and younger than 8 years of age provided they are supervised. For this, the control must always be set to the minimum temperature.

• This heat pad may be used by children over the age of 8 and by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental skills or a lack of experience or knowledge, provided that they are supervised and have been instructed on how to use the heat pad safely, and are fully aware of the consequent risks of use.

• Do not use when folded or bunched up.

• This heat pad may only be used in conjunction with the control specified on the label.

• This heat pad must only be connected to the mains voltage that is specified on the label.

• The electrical and magnetic fields emitted by this heat pad may inter

fere with the function of a pacemaker. However, they are still well below the limits: electrical field strength: max. 5000V/m, magnetic field strength: max. 80A/m, magnetic flux density: max. 0.1 millite

sla. Please therefore consult your doctor and the manufacturer of your pacemaker before using this heat pad.

• Do not pull, twist or make sharp bends in the cables.

• If the cable and control of the heat pad are not positioned properly, there may be a risk of becoming entangled in, being strangled by, tripping over, or stepping on the cable and control. The user must ensure that excess lengths of cable, and cables in general, are safely routed.13

• Please check this heat pad frequently for signs of wear and tear or damage. If any such signs are evident, if the heat pad has been used incorrectly or if it no longer heats up, it must be checked by the manufacturer before being switched on again.

• Under no circumstances should you open or repair the heat pad (including the accessories) yourself because faultless functionality can no longer be guaranteed thereafter. Failure to observe this will invalidate the warranty.

• If the mains connection cable of this heat pad is damaged, it must be disposed of. If it cannot be removed, the heat pad must be disposed of.

• When this heat pad is switched on: – Do not place any sharp objects on it – Do not place any heat sources, such as hot water bottles, heat pads or similar, on it

• The electronic components in the control warm up when the heat pad is in use. For this reason, the control must never be covered or placed on the heat pad when it is in use.

• It is essential to observe the information relating to the following chapters: Operation, Cleaning and maintenance, Storage.

• If you should have any questions about using our devices, please contact our Customer Services department.

CAUTION This heat pad is only designed to warm up the human body. This heat pad is suitable for universal use. For example, on the stomach, back, joints or neck. The heating pad can be rolled for use on the neck area.

• The heat pad is fitted with a SAFETY SYSTEM. This sensor technology provides protection against overheating across the entire surface of the heat pad with an automatic switch-off in the event of a fault. If the SAFETY SYSTEM has switched off the heat pad, the temperature settings are no longer illuminated when switched on.

• Please note that for safety reasons, the heat pad can no longer be operated after a fault has oc

curred and must be sent to the specified service address.

• Do not connect the defective heat pad with another control of the same type. This would trigger a permanent switch-off via the control’s safety system.14

CAUTION Ensure that the heat pad will not bunch up or become folded during use.

• First, connect the control to the heating pad by inserting the plug-in coupling.

• Then plug the mains plug into the socket.

Place the heat pad on your stomach or back. Subsequently guide the long, elastic rubber strap around the body and secure the heat pad by closing the hook-and-loop fastener. Use as a neck heat pad

• First assemble the plug-in coupling.

• Then place the heat pad in front of you on a table so that the plug-in coupling is located at the top left, and the pointed side of the heat pad is directed towards your body.

Starting with the pointed side, tightly roll up the heat pad along its entire width.

Then place the completely rolled-up heat pad around your neck and fasten the hook-and-loop fasteners.

• The protruding rubber strap can be pushed underneath the heat pad at the front. CAUTION Make sure that the heat pad is rolled up tightly and fully. Otherwise, the safety system may irreversibly switch off the heat pad.

To switch the heat pad on, set the slider for ON/OFF and temperature settings to setting 1, 2 or 3. The temperature settings are illuminated when switched on.

4.4 Setting the temperature

Level 0: OFF Level 1: minimum heat Level 2: medium heat Level 3: maximum heat NOTE: The fastest way to warm up the heat pad is to initially set the highest temperature setting. NOTE: These heat pads have a fast heating function, which allows the pad to warm up faster in the first 10 minutes.15 WARNING If the heat pad is being used over several hours, we recommend that you set the lowest temperature setting on the control to avoid overheating the heated body part, which may lead to burns to the skin.

4.5 Automatic switch-off

This heat pad is equipped with an automatic switch-off function. This turns off the heat sup- ply approx. 90 minutes after the initial use of the heat pad. The temperature setting display then starts to flash. So that the heat pad can be switched back on, the slider for ON/OFF and temperature settings (5) must first be set to setting “0” (OFF). After about 5 seconds it is pos

sible to switch it on again.

To switch the heat pad off, set the slider for ON/OFF and temperature settings to setting “0” (OFF). The temperature settings are then no longer illuminated. NOTE: If the heat pad is not in use, switch the side slider for ON/OFF to setting “0” (OFF) and unplug the power plug from the socket. Then disconnect the control from the heat pad by unplugging the plug-in coupling.

5. Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING Before cleaning, always remove the power plug from the socket first. Then disconnect the control from the heat pad by unplugging the plug-in coupling. Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock. CAUTION The control must never come into contact with water or other liquids, as this may cause damage.

• To clean the control, use a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use any chemical or abrasive cleaning agents.

• Small marks on the heat pad can be removed with a damp cloth and if necessary, with a little liquid de

tergent for delicate laundry. CAUTION Please note that the heat pad may not be chemically cleaned, wrung out, tumble dried, put through a mangle or ironed. Otherwise the heat pad may be damaged.

• This heat pad is machine-washable.

• Set the washing machine to a particularly gentle wash cycle at 30 °C (wool cycle). Use a delicate laundry detergent and measure it out according to the manufacturer’s instructions. CAUTION Please note that frequent washing of the heat pad has a negative effect on the product. The heat pad should therefore be washed in a washing machine a maximum of 10 times during its life.

Immediately after washing, reshape the heat pad to its original dimensions while it is still damp and spread it out flat on a clothes horse to dry. 90 min STOP16 CAUTION

• Do not use pegs or similar items to attach the heat pad to the clothes horse. Otherwise the heat pad may be damaged.

Do not reconnect the control to the heat pad until the plug-in connection and the heat pad are completely dry. Otherwise the heat pad may be damaged. WARNING Never switch the heat pad on to dry it! Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.

If you do not plan to use the heat pad for a long period of time, we recommend that you store it in the original packaging. For this purpose, disconnect the control from the heat pad by unplugging the plug-in coupling. CAUTION

• Please allow the heat pad to cool down before storing. Otherwise the heat pad may be damaged.
