SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Ereada® Amethyst and Gemstone FIR Mats have been carefully engineered for effectiveness and safety, and basic safety precautions should always be observed when using electrical devices. Before using this device, please read this section. Please follow the safety instructions carefully.
- Never immerse the Ereada® Mat in water, and do not use it in wet or excessively humid areas.
- This product is not to be used by incapacitated persons.
- Infants are not allowed to use the Mat.
- Please do not use it on heat-sensitive skin.
- Do not use liniments, salves, or ointments that contain heat-producing ingredients unless recommended by professionals. Skin burns could result.
- Increase water intake before and after sessions. Do not let yourself get dehydrated.
- Start slowly at low settings and gradually increase duration and temperature.
- If you have piercings or any other metal details on your body, do not exceed 95 - 104°F (35 - 40°C) unless that part of your body is off the mat.
- Do not keep your head on the heated mat for long periods. Instead, use the Ereada® Mat Pillow.
- Contact a vet before using the device on a pet.
- Titanium, Metal, Ceramic, or Plastic surgical implant recipients usually can use the Amethyst Mat. Surgical implants generally reflect infrared rays and are not heated by an infrared heat system. Anyhow, it is strongly recommended to check with the physician before use.
- Infrared rays may heat silicone implants. However, silicon is known to melt at over 200 degrees Celsius / 392 Fahrenheit, so infrared rays should not affect it. Nevertheless, it is strongly advised that you consult your surgeon before using it.
- Do not use the mat when your hands and body are wet.
- Do not put the controller on the mat.
- Overusing the device at maximum temperature may result in excessive stimulation. Use moderately on high temperatures.
- Children and those with disabilities must be closely supervised when using the device.
- Do not spill water over the device. If spilled, let it dry out completely for 1-2 days before use. Then, turn ON the mat at the highest level for an hour, but do not lay on it until you are sure it works properly.
- Avoid placing blankets, heavy objects, or flammable material over the device unattended.
- Use cautiously; burns may result from improper use. It is possible, though not likely if used on bare skin as the Amethyst Crystals can become quite warm, and everyone’s thresholds for heat vary. If there is any doubt, we recommend using at least one layer of clothing as a protective barrier while using the electric-powered heating of the Ereada Amethyst Mat.
- Do not disassemble anything while the power is on.
- Do not prick the mattress with pins or knives.
- Do not put volatile materials such as benzene, thinner, or kerosene on the mattress.
- Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by the company can be dangerous and may cause electric shock.
- Make sure that the voltage rating corresponds to the specification. Use the Ereada® Mat with the surge protector to keep your warranty and protect your device from power spikes.
- When unplugging the mattress controller, please do not attempt to pull the cord; instead, hold the plug and pull it out.
- Do not use the mat when the cord is damaged or if the electrical outlet is excessively loose.
- Stop using the mat immediately if it is damaged.
- If you detect a smell, smoke, or fire, stop using the mat and unplug the power from the wall outlet.
- Ironing the device is strictly prohibited.
- Always remember to turn off the electrical supply when not in use.
- Be careful when pets are sleeping on the device. They can damage the Ereada® Mat device if left without supervision! It should be turned off without supervision.
- Before cleaning the device, turn off the main switch and unplug the device.
- Wipe off dust or dirt with a slightly damp cloth. You may also use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the device's surface.
- Please do not use chemical solvents, such as benzene or thinner, on the controller or pad, as this may damage them.
- Do not wash the device or controller.
- Fold the device appropriately and store it in the bag provided.
- Do not store the mat in a humid, dusty, or oily place.
- Do not put heavy objects over the device when storing it.
