Operating Instructions
Heated Pad Functionality
The included heated pad is designed to activate only when your pet is on the pad. It will not feel warm to the touch when empty. This is a normal and energy-efficient design feature. The pad warms to a few degrees above ambient air temperature when not in use, and to approximately 102°F (39°C) when a pet is present, adjusting to your pet's natural body temperature.

Testing the Heated Pad
To verify the heated pad is working correctly:
- Plug the bed directly into an outlet. Do not use an extension cord for testing.
- Allow the bed to warm up for at least 1 hour before testing.
- Place a large pillow on top of the heated pad.
- After approximately 20 minutes, feel under the pillow. The pad should feel warm, not hot. If warmth is detected, the product is functioning as designed.

Safety Features
The cat house is equipped with two exits, each featuring a removable clear plastic flap. These dual exits prevent pets from being trapped by predators and offer sufficient protection from wind and cold while maintaining visibility.

Maintenance
The heated cat bed includes a removable, washable cover. For cleaning, remove the cover and wash it according to the care instructions on the label. This ensures the pet's space remains fresh and comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Heated Pad Not Feeling Warm
As mentioned in the operating instructions, the heated pad is pet-activated and will not feel warm to the touch when a pet is not on it. This is normal. Please follow the "Testing the Heated Pad" instructions above to confirm functionality.
Electrical Compatibility
This product is designed for use with 110/120 volt electrical current only. Ensure your power source matches this requirement for proper operation of the heated pad.
