5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your foot warmer, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Disconnect the mat from the power outlet before cleaning. Wipe the surface of the rubber mat with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the mat in water.
• Storage: When not in use, especially during warmer months, ensure the mat is clean and dry. It can be rolled up for convenient storage in a cool, dry place.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the mat and power cord for any signs of wear, damage, or fraying. If any damage is observed, discontinue use and contact customer support.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Cozy Products Electric Foot Warmer FW, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Mat is not heating:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Check that the in-line switch on the power cord is in the 'ON' position and the indicator light is illuminated.
  • Verify that the electrical outlet is functional by plugging in another appliance.
• Mat is not heating sufficiently:
  • Allow sufficient time for the mat to reach its operating temperature (up to 150°F). This may take a few minutes.
  • Ensure the mat is not placed on a surface that absorbs too much heat, such as thick carpet (though not recommended for direct use on carpet, if used with a protective layer, ensure it's not overly insulating).
• Unusual odor:
  • A slight rubber odor may be present during initial use. This is normal and should dissipate over time. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
  • If the odor is strong, persistent, or accompanied by smoke, immediately unplug the unit and discontinue use.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Cozy Products customer support.
