ADVICE ON TEmPERATURE SElECTION
Excessive heat continuously applied to the skin may produce skin burns. The maximum
temperatures our products can ever reach are those permitted by the current regulations.
The heating pads reach temperatures between 65ºC and 75ºC, while the heating un-
derblankets, considering their intended application, will run at a lower temperature range
reaching temperatures between 45ºC and 55ºC.
(Note: all measures were collected in laboratory conditions with products totally covered,
according to procedures described in the EN60335-2-17 Standard).
It usually takes 30 to 45 minutes for the product to reach the maximum temperature.
The products provided with fast heating option reduce this time to between 10 and 15
minutes. If you perceive the heat emitted by your pad is insufficient, try the following: remove
the cotton cover from the pad and the clothes from the part of the body to which the pad
is to be applied and then apply the pad directly on the skin covering its other side with a
towel. This will increase the heat transmission, as well as avoid heat dissipation.
You can set the control unit at the maximum level to obtain a faster warm up. Remember,
however, that you should not use this setting continuously for more than one hour. After
that time, we recommend that you lower the temperature gradually. Thanks to the safety
AUTO-OFF option, it will also turn the product off after 2h or 12h of continuous running.
For overnight or continuous use we recommend setting the unit at its lowest level (level 1).
Therapeutic benefits provided by these products have little to do with high temperatures
and are based on a consistent, controlled low-level heat. If, after a considerable period of
time, the product stops warming and gets cool, it may be due to the activation of the safety
AUTO-OFF, in order to protect you from having excess heat applied to your skin.
