Operation
• Only use the heat pad as intended and in accordance with the instruction manual.

for use in hospitals.
• The heating pad is subject to aging. Check heat pad, mains cable and control unit
carefully for damage before each use. A faulty unit must not be used.
• Do not use the appliance if it is damaged, if its power cord is damaged, if it is not
in perfect working order, or if it has been dropped or fallen into water, to avoid
potential hazards.
• Keep the unit out of rain and do not let it get wet. It must not be used out-of-doors.
• Never place the unit immediately next to a heater or radiator.
• Ensure that the unit does not come into contact with pointed or sharp objects and do
not push pins into it.
• The heat pad must not be used if it has been folded, bent or crushed.
• Do not use the heat pad when wet and only use it in dry environments (not in the
bathroom or similar environments).
• The control unit must not be placed on or under the heat pad during operation and
it must not be covered.
• Do not sit on the heat pad, but place it like a cushion on the body part, as required.

in burns to the skin. Check the skin areas under the heat pad regularly to prevent
burns or blisters.
