Operation

To operate the device:

1. Connect the control unit to the heat pad by plugging in the connector.
2. Plug the power plug into the mains outlet.
3. Set the slider for ON/OFF and temperature settings to level 1, 2, or 3.
4. The temperature settings will illuminate when switched on.

Temperature settings

• Level 0: OFF
• Level 1: Minimum heat
• Level 2: Medium heat
• Level 3: Maximum heat

The device features a fast heating function for the first 10 minutes. If used for several hours, it is recommended to set the lowest temperature level to avoid overheating.

Automatic switch-off

The heat pad is equipped with an automatic switch-off function that stops heat supply approximately 90 minutes after initial use. The temperature display will flash. To restart, set the slider to '0' (OFF), wait about 5 seconds, and switch it on again.

Cleaning and maintenance

• Always remove the power plug from the socket before cleaning. Disconnect the control unit from the heat pad.
• The control unit must never come into contact with water or other liquids. Clean it with a dry, lint-free cloth.
• Small marks on the heat pad can be removed with a damp cloth and, if necessary, a little liquid detergent for delicate laundry.
• The heat pad is machine-washable. Use a gentle wash cycle at 30 °C (wool cycle) with a delicate detergent.
• Do not wash more than 10 times during the product's life.
• After washing, reshape the pad while damp and dry flat on a clothes horse. Do not use pegs to attach it.
• Do not reconnect the control until the plug-in connection and pad are completely dry. Never switch the pad on to dry it.

Storage

If not in use for a long period, store in the original packaging. Disconnect the control unit. Allow the pad to cool down before storing and do not place objects on top of it to avoid sharp folds.

Troubleshooting

If the temperature settings are not illuminated while the control is connected, the power plug is in a working socket, and the slider is set to 1, 2, or 3, the safety system has switched the heat pad off permanently. In this case, send the heat pad and the control unit to the service address.
