cord and internal parts. You may even want to hang the fleece
cover in an area of high humidity, so that it can re-absorb moisture
to be ready for the next therapy session.
You Are Not Alone!
Arthritis pain is a serious problem, affecting one
of every three adults in the US. As our population
ages, the CDC estimates these numbers will soon
double. Moist heat is also very effective in treat-
ing back pain, fibromyalgia, TMJ, muscle spasms,
chronic pain, or speeding injury recovery.
Many people you know can benefit from using the Thermophore
®
Deep-Heat™ System. Of course, we hope you will encourage them
to purchase their own Thermophore Pack – but, if you do lend your
®
unit to a friend, please include this booklet and urge the user to read
it to assure safety, satisfaction and maximum therapeutic benefit.
WARNING-Please stay alert and use your Thermophore Pack care-
®
fully. For it to work properly, it must be capable of becoming very
hot. Do not sit or lay on your Thermophore Pack. Do not use over
®
areas of the body with poor circulation or insensitive skin. Diabetics
should be especially careful when applying heat. Those who are in-
capacitated should be closely supervised at all times during their use
of the Thermophore Pack. Do not use a Thermophore Pack as a
® ®
bed- or foot-warmer. It gets too hot to be used for this purpose. Do
not use your Thermophore Pack on animals or small children. When
®
in doubt about the advisability of using heat therapy because of any
situation or health condition, please consult your personal physician.
Trouble-shooting:
If you have any questions regarding the use of your Thermophore
®
Pack, please contact our Customer Service department at 800-253-
0854 or go to BattleCreekEquipment.com.
If your Thermophore Pack fails to heat, we suggest the following:
®
1. Make sure the plug fits properly and firmly into the electric out-
let, and that the outlet is functioning properly. Try plugging the unit
into another outlet which is on a different electrical circuit.
2. Inspect the electric cord. Make sure there is no break in the wire
of the cord. The areas of highest stress are normally next to the
plug, switch, or where it is attached to the Thermophore Pack.
®
3. Check the heavy fabric cover of the heating unit. It may eventu-
ally become somewhat discolored, especially near the wires, but ex-
cessive scorching or isolated darker areas may be caused if the unit
is folded during use, creating damage to internal components. If
there is evidence that this has occurred, the unit should be replaced.
