4.6 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 plugin coupling.
5. Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING
Before cleaning, always remove the power plug from the socket first. Then disconnect the control from
the heat pad by unplugging the plugin coupling. Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.
CAUTION
The control must never come into contact with water or other liquids, as this may cause damage.
• To clean the control, use a dry, lintfree cloth. Do not use any chemical or abrasive cleaning agents.
• The textile cover can be cleaned in accordance with the symbols on the label and must be removed from
the heating pad prior to cleaning.
• Small marks on the heat pad can be removed with a damp cloth and if necessary, with a little liquid de
tergent for delicate laundry.
CAUTION
Please note that the heat pad may not be chemically cleaned, wrung out, tumble dried, put through
a mangle or ironed. Otherwise the heat pad may be damaged.
• This heat pad is machinewashable.
• Set the washing machine to a particularly gentle wash cycle at 30 °C (wool cycle). Use a delicate laundry
detergent and measure it out according to the manufacturer's instructions.
CAUTION
Please note that frequent washing of the heat pad has a negative effect on the product. The heat pad
should therefore be washed in a washing machine a maximum of 10 times during its life.
• Immediately after washing, reshape the heat pad to its original dimensions while it is still damp and spread
it out flat on a clothes horse to dry.
CAUTION
• Do not use pegs or similar items to attach the heat pad to the clothes horse. Otherwise the heat
pad may be damaged.
• Do not reconnect the control to the heat pad until the plugin connection and the heat pad are
completely dry. Otherwise the heat pad may be damaged.
WARNING
Never switch the heat pad on to dry it! Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.
