EICKWARM / EICKWARM II ANIMAL PAD ELECTRICALLY HEATED
1. IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
This pad is designed to supply a gentle heat to an animal whilst upon it, with 12 V DC power for patient safety. As this is only a
gentle heat any warmth will dissipate as soon as it is created, and you may in fact be excused from thinking it is not operating
correctly, especially if you place your hand on top and can feel no immediate heat. If you require to test the pad we suggest
placing a heavy object such as a large book on top for approx. 30 minutes a slight heat will then start to build.
2. ASSEMBLY
Remove all packaging. Check the contents. There should be a pad with control box attached, transformer and 2 fl exes – one UK and one
European. Join the two jack plugs from the control box and the transformer. Attach the appropriate fl ex to the transformer.

3. TIPS FOR USE

1.1 GENERAL
Place the pad where it is to be used making sure it is kept fl at.
If used direct on a fl oor that is uninsulated such as concrete we suggest placing material such as a blanket underneath to prevent heat
loss through the fl oor. If the pad is to be covered use only a light weight material this will allow the heat to come through. Moreover the
patient can be covered with a blanket to avoid heat loss.
1.2 SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
Press the MODE key until the red temparature light is illuminated. Use the UP and DOWN keys to select the required temperature which is
displayed in the LED in °C. Leave plugged all the time heat is required.
1.3 SETTING THE TIME
Press the MODE key until the orange Time light is illuminated. Use the UP and DOWN keys to select the required time between 1 and 9
hours.
1.4 OPERATION
Press the START key and the mat will start heating. The green heating light will be illuminated. When the selected time has elapsed the
green heating light will go off as will the heating pad. The hours will still be displayed in the LED. Pressing the START key while the green
Heating light is lit will stop the heating.
4. CLEANING
Always unplug before cleaning. The pad is contained in a water-repellent cover which can be wiped clean using mild disinfectant.
For heavy soiling a detergent can be used. Never submerse the pad in water.

5. HEALTH AND SAFETY

The heating pad if used continuously should be checked frequently, and when used with sick or infi rm animals. Should the animal
for which the pad is to be used, be liable to chew it, we suggest some precautions be taken to protect the pad. This may be done
by cutting a piece of thin plywood slightly bigger than the pad wrap some heavy textile e. g. sacking or canvas fi xing on the underside
with the pad uppermost. Warmth will still come through the heavy layer.
If the animal for which the pad is intended for a be a persistent chewer we suggest that you may want to deprive the animal use
of the pad. If you do want to use the pad and are concerned about chewing, metal guards to place over the cable can be purchased
from most D.I.Y. outlets, as can a circuit breaker.
