Operating Instructions

The Arf Pets Dog Cooling Mat operates automatically through pressure activation. No external power source or refrigeration is required.

• Activation: When your pet lies down on the mat, their weight activates the cooling gel, initiating the cooling process.
• Cooling Duration: The mat provides continuous cooling for up to 3 hours, depending on ambient temperature and pet's body heat.
• Recharging: Once your pet moves off the mat, the gel automatically recharges its cooling properties within approximately 15 minutes of non-use. This allows for repeated use throughout the day.

• Spot Cleaning: For minor spills or dirt, simply wipe the surface of the mat with a damp cloth and mild soap.
• Drying: Allow the mat to air dry completely before folding or storing. Do not expose to direct sunlight during drying.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the mat neatly and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean the mat.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Mat does not feel cold.

Solution: The mat is designed to feel cool to the touch, not freezing. Its cooling effect is activated by pressure and body heat. If it has been in continuous use, allow it 15-20 minutes of non-use to recharge. Ensure it is not placed in direct sunlight or a very hot environment, which can diminish its effectiveness.

Problem: Pet is not using the mat.

Solution: Some pets may need time to adjust to new items. Try placing a favorite toy or treat on the mat to encourage interaction. Ensure the mat is placed in a quiet, comfortable spot where your pet usually rests. The mat's texture or initial coolness might be unfamiliar; patience is key.

Problem: Mat appears damaged or leaking gel.

Solution: Discontinue use immediately. The gel is non-toxic, but ingestion should be avoided. Dispose of the mat safely according to local regulations. Contact customer support for further assistance.
