• This heat pad must not be used by persons who are not sensitive to
heat or by other vulnerable persons who may not be able to react to
overheating (e.g. diabetics, people with skin alterations due to illness
or scarred tissue in the application area, after taking pain relief medi­
cation or alcohol).
• This heat pad must not be used by very young children (0­3 years
old) as they are unable to respond to overheating.
• The heat pad can be used by children older than 3 and younger than
8 years of age provided they are supervised. For this, the control
must always be set to the minimum temperature.
• This heat pad may be used by children over the age of 8 and by
people with reduced physical, sensory or mental skills or a lack of
experience or knowledge, provided that they are supervised and
have been instructed on how to use the heat pad safely, and are fully
aware of the consequent risks of use.
• Children must not play with the heat pad.
• Cleaning and user maintenance must not be performed by children
unless supervised.
• This heat pad is not designed for use in hospitals.
• This heat pad is only intended for domestic/private use, not for com­
mercial use.
• Do not insert pins.

• Do not use if wet.
• This heat pad may only be used in conjunction with the control
specified on the label.
• This heat pad must only be connected to the mains voltage that is
specified on the label.
• The electrical and magnetic fields emitted by this heat pad may inter­
fere with the function of a pacemaker. However, they are still well
below the limits: electrical field strength: max. 5000 V/m, magnetic
field strength: max. 80 A/m, magnetic flux density: max. 0.1 millite­
sla. Please therefore consult your doctor and the manufacturer of
your pacemaker before using this heat pad.

there may be a risk of becoming entangled in, being strangled by,
tripping over, or stepping on the cable and control. The user must
ensure that excess lengths of cable, and cables in general, are safely
routed.
