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 product reach temperatures between 55°C and 65°C. (Note: all
measures were collected in laboratory conditions with products totally covered,
according to procedures described in the EW60335-2-8 l Standard).
It usually takes 30 to 45 minutes for the product to reach the maximum temperature.
The products provided with fast heating function reduce this time to between 10 and 15
minutes.
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.
Regardless, thanks to the safety AUTO-OFF option, it will also turn the product off after
2h of continuous running.
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.
PEKATHERM TECHNOLOGY
This product family is specially designed to ensure a smooth low-level heat which, apart
from comfort, provides recognised pain-relieving effects, since it dilates the blood
vessels and enables muscular distension.
The control unit was designed and developed together with the heating elements to
assure the best performance. At the start, when the circuit is switched on, the control
unit carries out an initial check recognizing the heating element and then proceeds to
scan and store technical data which enables it to optimize performance and assure the
best operating conditions.
The control unit is provided with high technology electronic circuitry, able to
continuously control and regulate the temperature of the heating element. It is also able
to detect increases and decreases in ambient temperature and compensate for them,
this ensuring that the temperature of the heating element is constant. It means that the
product will always reach the same temperature, regardless of ambient and use
conditions.
All our products have increased power to ensure a faster heating. During the first few
minutes of operation full power is applied to reach a selected temperature and once
obtained, the power application drops drastically to ensure low consumption.
