USAGE

WARNING

Before use, make sure that there is no insect sting remaining in the area that was stung. Remove the sting carefully before use. To achieve the best results, use the device immediately after the insect bite or sting. If you wait too long to treat the area that has been stung or bitten and itching and swelling have already started, the insect bite healer can only have a limited effect. Nevertheless, treat the area with the insect bite healer. Usually, itching can be relieved and healing can be sped up.

CAUTION

Depending on the sensitivity of the person using the device and of the area of skin, the treatment temperature may feel unpleasant and cause slight skin redness and, in rare cases, irritated skin. If the heat function feels too hot, stop treatment immediately!

• To switch on the device, slide the ON/OFF control 2 to the “I” position in the direction of the heating plate.
• Device status LED 6 starts to light up blue. The device is now ready for use.
• Place the heating plate 3 of the device on the area that has been stung or bitten.
• You can choose between 2 different treatment times (3 or 6 seconds) depending on how sensitive your skin is.
• The 3-second treatment is recommended for first use or use on sensitive skin.
• To use the 3-second treatment, briefly press the activation button 5 once.
• One half of the blue illuminated ring 4 lights up and the treatment starts.
• To use the 6-second treatment, briefly press the activation button 5 two times in a row.
• The entire blue illuminated ring 4 lights up and the treatment begins.
• If you press and hold the activation button 5 for more than 2 seconds, the emergency switch-off will be activated. To use the device again after the automatic switch-off, switch the device back to “OFF” using the ON/OFF control 2. This is indicated by the “O” symbol. The blue device status LED 6 turns off.
•  An acoustic signal sounds at the end of the treatment.
• The blue illuminated ring 4 goes out and the heating plate 3 stops providing heat.

Battery Warning

Before the battery level becomes too low for other applications, the device status LED 6 starts to flash 3x, and an acoustic signal sounds 3x. Replace both batteries soon, as described in section 6.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Observe the following hygiene instructions to avoid health risks:

• The device is intended for multiple uses.
• It is recommended that the device is cleaned before first use and each additional use.
• The device must be switched off, allowed to cool down, and the batteries removed each time before cleaning.
• Use only soft, dry cloths for cleaning the housing.
• Never use any substances for cleaning that could potentially be toxic if they came into contact with the skin or mucous membranes, or if they were swallowed or inhaled. Do not use any abrasive cleaning products and never submerge the device in water.
• Do not clean the device in the dishwasher!
• Avoid mechanical cleaning with brushes or similar, as this could result in irreparable damage.
• When using the device on multiple areas that have been stung and bitten, it is recommended that you clean the heating plate each time. This reduces the possibility of germs and bacteria being transferred from one area of skin to the next. To disinfect the heating plate, use a cotton bud moistened with disinfectant.
