3. Intended use

IMPORTANT

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

4. Operation

4.1 Safety

IMPORTANT

The heating pad is fitted with a SAFETY SWITCH-OFF. A sensor prevents the heating pad from

overheating by means of automatic switch-off in the event of an error. Once the SAFETY SWITCH-

OFF has taken place, the blue LED display for the temperature settings (6) that is shown when

switched on is no longer lit up. After cooling down to room temperature, the heating pad can

be switched on again.

4.2 Charging the battery pack

IMPORTANT

The battery pack (2) must be charged prior to initial use or if the device has not been used for a long

period.

To do this, insert the charger (1) into a socket with the mains voltage corresponding to the specifications

on the charger.

Connect the connector plug of the charger (4) to the connection socket on the battery pack (3). When

charging, the green LED display for the state of charge (7) flashes on the battery pack.

The battery pack is fully charged when the green display for the state of charge is permanently lit (it takes

approx. 2 3 hours to fully charge an empty battery pack).

The green LED display for the state of charge of the battery pack goes out once the battery pack has been

disconnected from the charger.

The battery pack should be charged at least 1x per year to maintain its capacity.

While charging, do not cover the battery pack with covers, cushions or similar items.

Only charge the battery pack in a dry environment at normal room temperature.

4.3 Checking the state of charge of the battery pack

The heating pad must not be connected to the battery pack.

Press the button for controlling ON/OFF and temperature settings (8)

If the green LED display for the state of charge (7) lights up for 3 sec.: the battery pack has more than 25%

charging capacity.

If the green LED display for the state of charge (7) flashes 3x 1 sec.: the battery pack has less than 25%

charging capacity.

4.4 Operating the heating pad

Insert the charged battery pack (2) into the integrated pouch in the heating pad with the rounded side facing

forward. Then insert the connector plug for the connection cable (5) of the heating pad into the connection

socket on the battery pack (3). The heating pad is now ready for use.

Place the heating pad on your stomach or on your back with the light oval facing towards your body. Sub-

sequently guide the right strap of the heating pad around the body and secure the heating pad by closing

the hook-and-loop fastener.

IMPORTANT

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

12

4.5 Switching on

Switch on the heating pad by pressing the button for controlling ON/OFF and temperature settings (8).

The blue LED display for temperature setting 1 lights up. Press the button repeatedly to increase the tem-

perature setting.

The corresponding blue LED displays for the temperature settings (6) light up. Press the button again to

switch off the heating pad.

Switching sequence: 1, 2, 3, 4, OFF, 1, ……

When switched on, the blue LED display for the temperature settings is lit up.

NOTE

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

NOTE

This heating pad has a fast heating function, which allows the heating pad to warm up quickly in the

first 10 minutes.

WARNING

If the heating pad is being used over several hours, we recommend that

you set the lowest temperature setting on the battery pack (2) to avoid

overheating the heated body part, which may lead to burns to the skin.

NOTE

When the battery pack (2) has been almost completely run down, the heating pad is switched off

automatically to protect the battery pack. The battery pack must then be charged.

4.6 Setting the temperature

Setting 1: minimum heat

Setting 2 – 3: medium heat

Setting 4: maximum heat

4.7 Switching off

Press the button for controlling ON/OFF and temperature settings (8) to switch off the heating pad. The

switching sequence is 1 2 3 4 OFF … The blue LED display for the temperature settings (6) goes out

when the heating pad is switched off.

NOTE

Please note that the battery pack must be protected against extreme cold (such as being placed under

clothing) to maintain its performance.

4.8 Automatic switch-off time

This heating pad is equipped with an automatic switch-off function. This turns off the heat supply approx. 90

minutes after the initial use. The blue LED display for the temperature settings (6) is no longer lit up after this.

You can switch the heating pad on again immediately by pressing the button for controlling ON/OFF and

temperature settings (8). If the heating pad can no longer be switched on, then the battery pack (2) has been

run down.

5. Cleaning and maintenance

IMPORTANT

Prior to cleaning, you must always disconnect the battery pack (2) from the heating pad and remove

it from the heating pad pouch, otherwise there is a risk of damage.

IMPORTANT

The battery pack (2) must never come into contact with water or other liquids, as this may cause

damage.

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

IMPORTANT

Please note that the heating pad may not be dry cleaned, wrung out, tumble dried, put through a

mangle or ironed. Otherwise the heating pad may be damaged.

This heating pad is machine-washable. For this purpose, close the hook-and-loop fastener of the heating pad

and place it in a pillow case. Set the washing machine to a particularly gentle wash cycle at 30 °C (wool cycle).

For ecological reasons, always wash the heating pad together with other textiles.

Use a delicate laundry detergent and measure it out according to the manufacturers instructions.

IMPORTANT

• Please note that frequent washing of the heating pad has a negative effect on the product.

The heating pad should therefore be washed in a washing machine a maximum of 10 times during its life.

Let the heating pad dry flat on a clothes horse.

IMPORTANT

Do not use pegs or similar items to attach the heating pad to the clothes horse, otherwise the

heating pad may be damaged.

Only reconnect the heating pad to the battery pack (2) once the heating pad and the connector

plug of the connection cable (5) are completely dry, otherwise this could damage them.

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.

IMPORTANT

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

To avoid making sharp bends in the heating pad, do not place any objects on top of it whilst storing.

IMPORTANT

The battery pack should be charged 1x per year to maintain its capacity.

7. Disposal

Please dispose of the device in accordance with EC Directive – WEEE (Waste Electrical and Elec-

tronic Equipment). If you have any questions, please contact the local authorities responsible for

waste disposal.
