place it under your pet’s bedding and ensure pet cannot have contact
with its surface to prevent burns.
HEAT CYCLE
In the rst 3 hours of use, your MyWarmPet® Heat Pad will
gradually reduce its heat to reach approximately 50 C / 122 F. It
will then remain at this temperature for about 5 hours before it
begins to cool down. Heat cycle will vary depending on the
environment it is being used in. Please do not re-heat the
MyWarmPet® Heat Pad until it has fully cooled down.
CLEANING
Use a damp cloth or spray your MyWarmPet® Heat Pad lightly
with disinfectants and wipe it dry. Abrasive substances or
scourers should not be used.
FOR VETERINARIANS
MyWarmPet® Heat Pad should never come into direct contact
with an animal. At all times, heat pad should be covered with a
cover, cloth, or suitable bedding to protect the animal from burn.
The use of this product is not recommended with animals that
are anesthetized or unconscious as they cannot react to thermal
discomfort.
Recovering animals which use this product should be monitored
for their ability to move away from the unit should any
discomfort arise. Never reheat MyWarmPet® until it has fully
cooled down.
WARNING
Do not exceed the recommended heating times as overheating
will damage your MyWarmPet® Heat Pad and may result in injury
or burn.
Do not allow animals or bite or chew the unit.
Contents inside the MyWarmPet® Heat Pad will always react in a
predictable way to heat. If used correct, unit will never distort or
leak prematurely. If distortion or leak occurs, it has been
overheated.
MyWarmPet® Heat Pad contains solid, non-toxic formula. During
heating, about 10% of its content will become liquid and rest will
remain solid. Overheating beyond 300% of the recommended
time will result the content to melt and possibly leak.
Overheating will not result in an “explosion” – it will simply leak. If
the unit seems damaged, deformed, or leakage is apparent,
overheating has occurred and it will be dangerously hot. Do
not open the microwave door until unit has cooled down – you
should not attempt to touch, remove, or clean the leakage until
unit has fully cooled down. When cool, any leakage of content
can be removed from hard surfaces with hot water or scraped o
with a suitable non-scratch object.
Do not allow children to heat up the MyWarmPet® Heat Pad
unless properly supervised. Do not heat in a conventional oven
or by any other method than described above. PICO® Pet, its
agents, and distributers are not liable for any incidental or
consequential damage arising from the use of this product. It is
