This document describes the Snailax Electric Heating Pad, model KH-019F8, a versatile personal warming device designed for home use. The heating pad offers two primary functions: it can be used as a flat heating pad or converted into a foot warmer by buttoning its edges. Its primary purpose is to provide soothing warmth to different parts of the body, offering comfort and relaxation.
The heating pad is designed with user convenience and safety in mind. It features a soft, short plush outer material, ensuring a comfortable tactile experience during use. The device operates via an AC adapter and includes a control panel for easy adjustment of settings.
To use the device, the power cable is connected to the heating pad, and the AC adapter is plugged into a standard 120V/60Hz electrical outlet. The device is then turned on using the control panel. The control panel features a digital display screen, a power button, and temperature adjustment buttons (+/-). Upon plugging in, the digital screen briefly displays "8" before entering standby mode. Pressing the power button activates the heating pad. Users can select from 1 to 6 heat levels using the temperature buttons, with level 3 being the default setting. The device is designed to automatically switch off after a 2-hour timer runs out, providing an added safety feature and preventing prolonged, unattended operation.
The heating pad is intended to provide a warming heat and is not designed for medical treatment or as a therapeutic heating pad. Users should allow a few minutes for the device to reach its maximum temperature, which is approximately 140°F.
Maintenance of the Snailax Electric Heating Pad is straightforward, focusing on ensuring its longevity and safe operation. Before cleaning, the device must be unplugged from the power outlet and allowed to cool for at least ten minutes. It is crucial not to immerse the power cable or the controller in water. The heating pad itself is washable in a normal wash cycle at a maximum temperature of 104°F. However, it should not be wiped with alcohol or harsh chemicals like thinner or bleach, nor should it be put in a tumble dryer. The heating pad can be cleaned with a soft brush when dry and must not be dry cleaned. After washing, it is essential to ensure the product is completely dry before its next use. When storing, the heating pad should be kept in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children. To prevent damage, contact with sharp edges or pointed objects that could cut or puncture the fabric surface should be avoided. The power cord should be looped loosely during storage to prevent damage to the cord and internal parts from tight wrapping.
Safety is a paramount concern with this device, and several instructions are provided to ensure safe operation. Users are advised to check the heating pad for wear, damage, or signs of improper use on the control, cable, or heating pad before each use. The supply voltage must match the rating plate before connecting to a power supply. The heating pad should never be folded or creased during use, nor should it be pierced with pins or other sharp objects. It is not to be used on children, persons who are disabled, asleep, or insensitive to heat. The unit is designed for home use only, and users should not keep it switched on after falling asleep. Prolonged use at a high setting can lead to skin burns, so it's recommended to check the skin under the pad frequently. The heating pad should not be covered with other cushions, and the control should not be covered or placed on or below the heating pad while in operation. The pad should only be placed on the part of the body to be treated, not sat on or crushed. If the heating pad falls into water, it must be unplugged immediately. The power cord should be kept away from hot surfaces and never used to carry, pull, or turn the heating pad. The cord should not be allowed to tangle. The heating pad must only be used in dry environments, not in bathrooms or similar wet areas, and the control and cable should not be exposed to moisture or humidity. In case of a fault, users should not attempt to repair the unit themselves; repairs must be carried out by authorized personnel. If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or qualified persons to avoid hazards.
Specific warnings include consulting a doctor before use if there are health concerns, not using the pad on swollen, injured, or inflamed body parts, and stopping use immediately if persistent pains or discomfort occur. The product is not intended for medical treatment. It is also important not to use the pad with liniments, ointments, or salves containing heat-producing ingredients, as this could result in skin burns. The pad should be positioned on top of the body, not underneath, as heat level may increase when heat is trapped. The pad should only be used with a 120-volt AC electrical outlet and unplugged when not in use. The polarized plug, a safety feature, means one blade is wider than the other and will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If it doesn't fit, the plug should be reversed, and if it still doesn't fit, a qualified electrician should be contacted.
The Snailax Electric Heating Pad offers a practical and comfortable solution for personal warming, emphasizing ease of use, simple maintenance, and robust safety measures.
