Intended Use

This heat pad is designed exclusively to provide warmth to the human body.

Operation

The heat pad is equipped with a SAFETY SYSTEM that uses sensor technology to prevent overheating across its entire surface. If a fault occurs, the system automatically switches off the heat pad. Once the safety system has been activated, the temperature settings will no longer illuminate when the device is switched on.
For safety reasons, the heat pad must not be used again after a fault has occurred. It should be sent to the designated service address for inspection.
Never connect a defective heat pad to another control unit of the same type, as this may cause the control unit's safety system to switch off permanently.

Initial Use

Make sure the heat pad remains flat during use and does not become folded, bunched up, or creased.

Connect the control unit to the heat pad by inserting the plug-in connector securely.
Insert the power plug into a suitable mains outlet.

Switching On

Move the sliding switch (3), located on the right side of the control unit, to position "I" (ON). Once the heat pad is switched on, the temperature settings display will illuminate.

Setting the Temperature

To adjust the temperature, press button (4) to increase or decrease the heat level.

Level 1: Minimum heat setting.
Levels 2–5: Adjustable heat settings.
Level 6: Maximum heat setting.

For faster warming, initially select the highest temperature setting. The heat pad features a fast-heating function that allows it to warm up more quickly during the first 10 minutes of operation.

Automatic Switch-Off

The heat pad includes an automatic switch-off function that stops the heat supply approximately 90 minutes after it is switched on. When this function activates, part of the temperature settings display begins to flash. To restart the heat pad, move the sliding switch (3) to position "0" (OFF). Wait approximately 5 seconds before switching the device on again.

Switching Off

To turn off the heat pad, move the sliding switch (3) on the side of the control unit to position "0" (OFF). The temperature settings display will turn off, indicating that the device is no longer operating.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Always disconnect the power plug from the mains outlet before cleaning the heat pad. Then detach the control unit by unplugging the plug-in coupling from the heat pad. Failure to disconnect the device properly may result in an electric shock.

Storage

If the heat pad will not be used for an extended period, it is recommended to store it in its original packaging. Before storage, disconnect the control unit from the heat pad by removing the plug-in coupling.

Troubleshooting Beurer Heat Pad HK 123 XXL Green Planet: Common Issues and Fixes

Encountering problems with your Beurer Heat Pad HK 123 XXL Green Planet? Start by checking connections: ensure the control is properly plugged into the heat pad and the power cord into a working socket. Common issue: temperature settings not illuminated despite correct setup. This indicates the safety system has permanently switched off due to detected wear, damage, or fault—do not attempt repairs or swap controls, as it voids the warranty. Send the unit and control to Beurer for servicing.

Other fixes: If no heat after switching on (slider to 1, 2, or 3), verify no bunching or folding, which can trigger safety shut-off. For cleaning-related issues, ensure the pad and plug-in connection are fully dry before reconnecting. Preventive measures include regular inspection for wear, avoiding pegs during air-drying post-wash, and not using in hospitals or with incorrect voltage. No specific error codes are listed; illumination failure signals a need.

Beurer offers 3-year warranty coverage—contact support via local distributor or Beurer website for repairs. In the UK/EU, reach Beurer customer service at +49 7464 9890 0 or email service@beurer.de. Always prioritize safety over DIY fixes to maintain electric heat pad reliability.
