Frequently Asked Questions - HNK347 INVENTUM

How to turn on the HNK347 heating pad?

Set the sliding switch to position 1, 2 or 3 to turn it on. The temperature levels then light up.

How long does it take for the pad to heat up?

The pad has rapid heating: it heats faster during the first 10 minutes. For immediate warmth, set to level 3.

Can I machine wash the heating pad?

Yes, it is machine washable at 30°C, wool cycle (very gentle). Use a delicate laundry detergent. Do not use bleach, do not tumble dry, and do not iron.

Does the pad turn off automatically?

Yes, after approximately 90 minutes of use, the automatic shut-off deactivates the heating. The indicators then flash. To reuse, set the switch back to 0, wait 5 seconds, then select a level again.

Is this pad safe for children?

Not suitable for children under 3 years. For ages 3-8, use only under adult supervision after setting the switch. From age 8, autonomous use is allowed if the child understands the safety instructions.

What does the ISS safety system mean?

The INVENTUM Safety System (ISS) prevents overheating. In case of failure, it irreversibly cuts off the heating. The indicators turn off. The pad must then be sent to customer service.

Can I use the heating pad with a pacemaker?

Electromagnetic fields are low (≤ 5,000 V/m, ≤ 0.1 mT), but they may interfere with some pacemakers. Consult your doctor and the pacemaker manufacturer before use.

How to attach the pad to the body?

Place the pad against your stomach or back, wrap the elastic band around your body, and adjust the hook-and-loop closure for a comfortable fit.

What if the indicators do not light up?

Check that the switch is properly connected to the pad and that the outlet works. If the switch is on 1, 2 or 3 and nothing lights up, the ISS system may have deactivated the device. Contact customer service.

How to store the heating pad?

Unplug the cord and let it cool completely. Store in its original packaging, flat, without sharp folding and without placing objects on top.

6. Plug-in coupling
7. Heating pad

3 intended use

CAUTION

This heating pad is only designed to warm up the human body.

4 operation

4.1 Safety

CAUTION

This heating pad is fitted with the INVENTUM SAFETY SYSTEM (ISS). This 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 off the heating pad automatically as a result of a fault, the display for the temperature settings is no longer illuminated even when the heating pad is switched on.

Please note that, after a fault has occurred, the heating pad can no longer be used for safety reasons and must be sent to the service address indicated.

4.2 Initial use

CAUTION

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

• First, connect the controller to the heating pad by inserting the plug-in coupling.
• Then plug the mains plug into the socket.
• Place the heating pad on your stomach or back. Subsequently guide the long, elastic rubber strap around the body and secure the heating pad by closing the hook-and-loop fastener.

4.3 Switching on

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

4.4 Setting the temperature

Setting 0: OFF

Setting 1: minimum heat

Setting 2: medium heat

Setting 3: maximum heat

NOTE

The fastest way to warm up the heating pad is to initially set the highest temperature setting of the controller, first.

NOTE

This heating pad has a turbo function, which allows the heating pad to warm up faster in the first 10 minutes.

CAUTION

If the heating pad is being used over several hours it is recommended to set the lowest temperature setting (1) on the controller to avoid overheating the heated body part, which may lead to burns to the skin.

4.5 Automatic switch-off

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

4.6 Switching off

To switch the heating pad off, set the sliding switch for ON/OFF to setting 0 (OFF) position. The temperature settings are then no longer illuminated.

NOTE

If the heating pad is not in use, switch the side sliding switch for ON/OFF and temperature settings to the OFF (0) position and remove the mains plug from the socket. Then disconnect the controller from the heating pad by unplugging the plug-in coupling.

5 cleaning & maintenance

WARNING

Before cleaning, always remove the mains plug from the socket first. Then disconnect the controller from the heating pad by unplugging the plug-in coupling. Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.

CAUTION

- The controller must never come into contact with water or other liquids. Otherwise, the controller may be damaged.

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

Small marks on the heating pad can be removed with a damp cloth or sponge, or if necessary, with a little liquid detergent for delicate laundry.

CAUTION

- Please note the heating pad must not be chemically cleaned, wrung out, tumble dried, put through a mangle or ironed.

In case of heavier soiling, this heating pad can be washed in a washing machine. Set the washing machine to a particularly gentle, 30^ C cycle (woolens programme). Use a wool laundry detergent and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

CAUTION

- Please note that excessive washing will wear out the heating pad. For this reason, the heating pad should only be machine-washed a maximum of 10 times throughout its entire life.

Immediately after washing, reshape the heating pad to its original dimensions while it is still damp and spread it out flat over a clothes drying rack to dry.

CAUTION

• Do not attach the heating pad to washing lines with washing pegs or similar. Otherwise the heating pad may be damaged.
• Do not reconnect the switch to the heating pad until the plug-in connection and the heating pad are completely dry.

Otherwise the heating pad may be damaged.

WARNING

- Never switch the heating pad on to dry it! Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.

6

storage

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

CAUTION

Please allow the heating pad to cool down first. Otherwise, the heating pad may be damaged. To avoid sharp folds in the heating pad, do not place any objects on top of it while it is being stored.

7

disposal

Legislation requires that all electrical and electronic equipment must be collected for reuse and recycling. Electrical and electronic equipment marked with the symbol indicating separate collection of such equipment must be returned to a municipal waste collection point.
