Product Overview
Your Sunbeam Heating Pad package includes two distinct heating pads:
1. Sunbeam XL (King-Size) Heating Pad
This extra-large heating pad (approximately 12" x 24") is designed for broader coverage, ideal for the back, spine, legs, and shoulders. It features a digital LED controller with 6 heat settings and a select-hour auto-shutoff feature. The pad heats up rapidly, typically within 30 seconds, for quick relief. It is made from a soft microplush material for comfort.
2. Sunbeam Standard Heating Pad with Moist Heat Option
This standard-sized electric heating pad (approximately 12" x 15") is suitable for targeted pain relief. It utilizes UltraHeat Technology for consistent heat distribution and offers 3 heat settings via an easy-to-use controller with large slide buttons. A unique feature is the included sponge, allowing for moist heat therapy by spraying the fabric cover with water, providing deeper penetrating relief.
Setup and First Use
- Unpack: Carefully remove the heating pad(s) and controller(s) from the packaging. Ensure all components are present and undamaged.
- Inspect: Before each use, inspect the heating pad, cord, and controller for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Do not use if damaged.
- Connect: Ensure the controller is securely plugged into the heating pad.
- For Moist Heat (Standard Pad Only): If you desire moist heat therapy, lightly spray the fabric cover of the standard heating pad with water. Do not saturate the pad. The included sponge can be moistened and placed inside the cover for this purpose.
Operating Instructions
General Operation for Both Pads:
- Plug In: Insert the power cord into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.
- Positioning: Place the heating pad directly on the area of the body where heat therapy is desired. Ensure the pad lies flat and is not folded, bunched, or creased.
- Select Heat Setting:
- XL (King-Size) Pad: Use the digital LED controller to select one of the 6 personalized heat settings. The pad will heat up in approximately 30 seconds.
- Standard Pad: Use the slide buttons on the controller to choose from 3 heat settings (Low, Medium, High).
- Auto-Shutoff: Both pads feature an auto-shutoff function for safety and energy conservation. The XL pad has a select-hour auto-shutoff, while the standard pad typically shuts off after a set period (e.g., 2 hours). Always unplug the pad when not in use.
- Duration of Use: Do not use the heating pad for more than 30 minutes at a time. Avoid falling asleep while using the heating pad.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning Instructions:
- Disconnect: Always unplug the heating pad from the electrical outlet and disconnect the cord from the pad before cleaning.
- Machine Washable: The fabric pad of both models is machine washable. Wash separately in cold water on a gentle cycle.
- Drying: Allow the heating pad to air dry completely before reconnecting the cord or storing. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean.
- Storage: Store the heating pad in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding or creasing the pad tightly, as this can damage the internal wiring.
