Operating Your Foot Warmer
Important instructions: Retain for future use.
BEFORE FIRST USE:
Before using your foot warmer for the first time, it needs to be unfolded before
switching on.
CAUTION: Ensure the power cord is not tight because if pulled it may
partially pull the plug from the socket. A partially inserted plug will overheat the
plug and socket and could result in fire.
EVERYDAY USE
Your foot warmer can be used whilst sitting on a couch or in your favourite chair to
provide cosy comfort whenever you need it.
Never sleep with the foot warmer turned on.
NOTE: Children under the age of 3 are not to use this appliance due to their inability to
react to heat.

have been pre-set by a parent or guardian, or unless the child has been adequately
instructed on how to operate the controls safely.
NOTE: When using the foot warmer, some people may experience a tingling sensation
whether alone or when touching someone else using the foot warmer.
This “tingling sensation” is known as an electric field effect and caused by the current

may be more sensitive to feeling the EMF tingling sensation than others. It is known to
occur across all makes and models.
This is no cause for concern and is not an electric shock.
Not to be used by very young children (0-3 years)
