USER MANUAL E2 Daga

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, use an authorized technical service center. Especialidades Eléctricas Daga, S.A. declines all responsibility for damage that could occur to people, animals or objects, for not abid- ing these warnings.

BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE

CONTROLLER: Various additional functions have been incorporated in this new gen- eration of controllers exclusive to the new and innovative line of DA- GA heating pads. WORK MODE The heating pad will start when you press the ON/OFF key (A). By de- fault, the regulator will set to the minimum temperature (position 1).

AUTOMATIC HEAT DECREASE

This function allows the controller to regulate the heating pad’s tem- perature and time parameters, controlling them gradually and auto- matically. After approximately 2h of continuous operation at a high heat set- ting, the system will activate that automatically and gradually lowers the temperature below 50º. This function is very useful, for example, in preventing possible burns if the user were to fall asleep while using the product.

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 stan- dard feature has been incorporated into all the regulator models, that automatically activates after 8h of non-stop operation, without the user having to touch the controller. After activating this safety Auto- stop, the heating pad will disconnect from the power supply and the controller will indicate this circumstance by lighting up the red light corresponding to setting 1. To leave the Autostop mode, just press any key on the controller. The regulator will move the default mode (heat setting 1). USAGE MODE

1) Connect the heating pad to the correct 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 de- tect possible anomalies indicated on the panel through a light scan. Then, the default work mode will be configured: Light 1 on (mini- mum heat setting). TERMICAS2-ALL.indb 13 15/03/10 16:17ENGLISH

3) From this point, the work mode is the following:

Next, adjust the heat setting using one of the 4 possible levels, re- peatedly pressing the temperature selection key . A light will ap- pear on the controller screen that indicates the selected heat setting.

4) To turn off the heating pad, turn the side On/Off switch to the

“0” 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; howev- er, if you do not follow this instruction, and as a safety measure, the heating pad will automatically lower its temperature after approxi- mately 2h of non-stop operation. On this point, we remind you that the beneficial effects of heat sup- plied by the heating pad do not need high temperatures and con- tinuous skin exposure to heat could cause burns. The highest heat settings should only be used for the time necessary to reach a com- fortable 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 tempera- ture 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. TERMICAS2-ALL.indb 14 15/03/10 16:1715

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. TERMICAS2-ALL.indb 15 15/03/10 16:17ENGLISH

PROBLEM SOLUTION 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. 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 65º and 75º 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. TERMICAS2-ALL.indb 16 15/03/10 16:1717

BENEFITS OF FLEXIBLE HEAT

The electric heating pads provide soft flexible heat letting the user take advantage of its two basic and complementary properties. First, flexible heat mitigates the effects of the cold and humidity, of- fering personal comfort. Also, heat is very efficient in therapeutic pain treatments to alleviate 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. The plastic models and the L and L2 models have an extra plastic cover to make the application of lotions and special ointments easier and help heat penetration to local areas. The cloth models give smooth heat that transpires and their fluffy and soft cloth give a sensation of comfort. Flexible heat is a dry heat that creates a calming effect, stimulates the circulation and reduces muscles tension. For these reasons, it is recommended in pain treatments such as arthrosis, arthritis and rheumatism, among others, in the soft parts of the body. For specific localized treatments, we recommend the use of ergo- nomic heating pads designed especially to adapt to specific body parts. For more information, consult the attached Daga catalogue.
