WARNING

• 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 medication or alcohol).
• 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.
• Children must not play with the heat pad.

• Do not use if wet.
• 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 interfere with the function of a pacemaker. However, they are still well below the limits: electrical field strength: max. 5000 V/m, magnetic field strength: max. 80 A/m, magnetic flux density: max. 0.1 milletmeals. 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.
• 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 guarantee.
• 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.

Intended use

CAUTION
This heat pad is only designed to warm up the human body

The exclusive shape of this heating pad was developed specifically for use on the shoulders and neck.
Position the heating pad on the shoulders and pull the ends over the chest. The magnetic catch keeps the pad in place. For a tighter fit, the poppers can be used. To undo, simply pull the ends apart or release the poppers.

Operation

Safety

CAUTION

• 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 occurred 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.

Initial use

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

• To operate the heat pad connect the control to the heat pad by plugging in the connector.
• Then plug in the power plug into the mains outlet.
  

Switching on

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.

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:
This heat pad have a fast heating function, which allows the pad to warm up faster in the first 10 minutes.
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.

Automatic switch-off

This heat pad is equipped with an automatic switch-off function. This turns off the heat supply 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 possible to switch it on again.

Switching off

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.

Cleaning and maintenance
