Important safety
instructions
The use of any electrical appliance
requires the following of basic common
sense safety rules.
Primarily there is danger of injury or death
and secondly the danger of damage to the
appliance. These are indicated in the text by
the following two conventions:
WARNING: Danger to the person!
IMPORTANT: Damage to the appliance!
In addition we offer the following
essential safety advice.
Care instructions
•Do not leave switched on when not in
use.
•Do not dry clean.
•Examine the appliance frequently,
including the flexible cord, for signs of
wear or damage (eg.abrasions, holes,
tears or blisters). In case of damage or
misuse, please return immediately
following instructions under servicing.
•The cover may be detached for washing,
but do not wash the pad itself. Make sure
the cover is dry before use.
•The welded plastic cover of the pad can
be cleaned with a damp cloth, after the
pad has been disconnected from the
power supply.
•When not in use store flat.
NOTE: This pad should not be used in
direct contact with upholstery containing
acrylic or modacrylic pile fibre fabrics.
Personal safety
•The pad may be safely curved around the
limbs but it SHOULD NOT be used folded
or rucked.
•The pad should not be slept on or used
inside a bed.
•Do not fall asleep when the pad is
switched on.
•Do not use the pad in the bathroom.
•Do not leave the pad in contact with the
skin for excessive periods of time.
•Overlong application at a high setting can
result in skin burns.
•Should the pad feel hot, switch down to
the next lowest heat setting or switch off.
•Never place additional objects such as
hot water bottles or pillows on the heated
area.
•Do not use if wet.
•Do not use if oitment or lotions have been
applied to the affected area.
•Do not use with a helpless person, an
infant or a person insensitive to heat.
•The cord between the control and the
heat pad does get warm in normal
operation. This is quite normal.

standards. This product has been comprehensively tested for all known safety situations, so

Product safety
•Avoid pressing sharp creases onto the
pad.
•Do not jerk, or exert pressure on the
flexible mains cord, or use it as a handle.
•Do not switch on to dry the pad or cover
after washing.
•Do not leave unattended.
•Not intended for medical use in
hospitals.
•The pad has a plastic cover to protect

Electrical requirements
Check that the voltage on the rating
label of your appliance corresponds with
your house electricity supply which must be
A.C. (Alternating Current).
If the socket outlets in your home are not
suitable for the plug supplied with this
appliance, the plug should be removed and
the appropriate one fitted.
WARNING: The plug removed from
the mains lead, if severed, must be
destroyed as a plug with bared flexible
cord is hazardous if engaged into a live
socket outlet.
Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug
require changing, a 3 amp BS1362 fuse
must be fitted.
This appliance does not need to be
earthed. It is a double insulated product.
Before use
Before using this appliance ensure that
the voltage indicated on the product
corresponds with the mains voltage in your
home. If you are in any doubt about your
supply, ask your electrical dealer or local
electricity company.
Safeguard overheat
protection system
Activation
The system will remain dormant
indefinitely as long as the heat pad is
operating in the normal temperature range.
If for any reason the heat pad is operated in
an abnormal situation or condition which
would otherwise have induced a rapid
temperature rise high enough to constitute a
hazard, the OVERHEAT SYSTEM should
intervene by cutting off the supply current
before the temperature reaches the point at
which damage may occur.
It is normal for the lead from the heat
pad to the switch to become warm as this
is part of the heated protection circuit
extended to the switch.
Action in case of activation
In the event of the OVERHEAT SYSTEM
operating, the heat pad will cease to
function and must be returned to the
service department address given in this
leaflet. A charge will be made for this
service.
WARNING: No attempt should be
made to repair the heat pad or have it
repaired locally and the switch
supplied must never be replaced other
than by the manufacturers since the
specialised components are not
generally available.
The fact that this heat pad incorporates
the overheat system does not absolve the
user from observing these instructions.
