MediCrystal® mats have been carefully engineered for both effectiveness
and safety. But of course basic safety precautions should always be
observed when using any electrical device.
1. Never immerse the mat in water, do not use the product in wet or
excessively humid areas. Do not use the device when your hands or
body are wet.
2.
Changes or modifications to the device can be dangerous and may cause
electric shock. Do not disassemble anything while the power is ON.
3. Do not put heavy objects on the mat. Do not prick the mattress
with pins, knives or sharp objects. Do not step, walk, jump, run
and avoid other types of pressure which can damage inner sensors.
4.
Do not put chemicals, solvents, volatile or flammable materials
such as benzene, thinner or kerosene on the mattress.
5. Make sure that the receptacle where you plan to plug the mat has
the same voltage rating as the specifications indicated for each
product (usually 110-120V/60 Hz for North America and Japan and
220-250V/50 Hz for Europe and other countries). Do not use travel
adaptors in order not to damage your mat and controller.
6. If your mat is made for U.S. electricity, 110-120V/60 Hz, with plugs
for a standard U.S. grounded socket to use in 220-250V countries,
please purchase a step down power converter transforming 220-
240V to 110V. For smaller pads we recommend power converters
with 200-300W capacity, up to 500W for large mats and 1000W for
queen size mats with two heating zones.
7.
Always remember to turn off the electrical supply when not in use.
When unplugging device, do not attempt to pull the cord, pull it
out by holding the plug.
8. To protect your mat, use a surge protector. Power spike is the main reason
why a mat would ever malfunction, an electrical surge kills the controller
and renders the mat unusable until a new controller is purchased.
9. Do not use the device when the cord is damaged or if the electrical
outlet is excessively loose, find another socket that will correctly
hold the plug. Do not use the mat if it is damaged or if connection
between the mat and controller is not tight.
10. Your mat has double safety advanced EMF free heating system with
emergency bimetal switches physically cutting off the electrical
wires if the mat’s main thermostat safety system fails and it
overheats to 180 °F (75 °C). Anyhow stop using and immediately
unplug the mat from its power source (wall outlet) if you experience
strange conditions such as smell, smoke, shocks and/or fire.
11.
Clean the mat only when the power is off and the controller is
unplugged from the AC outlet.
12. While heating
NEVER
put on the mat foam, rubber, yoga, camp
pads, mats, non-permeable covers or too thick (more than one
inch) plies of towels or heavy blankets to avoid overheating,
malfunction and fire risks. If the topper you use on the heating mat
is not permeable (like rubber), it will trap the FIR heat, and the mat
will regularly overheat. Though, in this case, bimetal switches cut-
off electricity, when they work permanently, they wear off fast, and
the fire danger goes up. This safety feature is designed to stop the
mat overheating only in emergency case if the controller fails. It is
not intended to operate as the main thermostat. If the whole mat is
covered with non-permeable material and continuously overheats,
the bimetal switches function all the time and wear-off. If they fail,
the mat will not be protected from overheating or fire risks.
13.
NEVER
leave your mat unattended while heating up.
NEVER
heat
it in folded or rolled condition.
NEVER
put any solid objects such
as pillows, laptops, books, controllers, bags, etc. on the heating
surface of the thermal mat, since the heating system can burn it
and damage the mat. Bimetal switches work to protect the mat with
a body on it, or if the entire heating surface is covered uniformly
and only with porous layers. Emergency protection system may not
stop local overheat if it takes place only on a small part of the mat,
where there are no temperature sensors or bimetal switches.

Your mat set should include, free of charge, at least one protective
cover, but usually we include a pair of different items. So you may
have one or two of the following covers:
1. Thick Tan 3-D Air Mesh Pad
to cushion the mat, distribute body
weight, buffer the crystals’ pressure either while sleeping on the mat
or during longer sessions. This is especially effective at the beginning
if the mat’s hardness is an issue. This 3-D Pad is not waterproof, and
it needs a cover or a towel on top.
This Pad is recommended to be
hand washed and air dried to keep shape.
2. Thick High Absorption Waterproof Quilted Multilayer Protector
with a single MediCrystal® logo embroidery on the top
and zipper
along three sides to put the mat inside of and to protect the bottom
as well. As with the other covers, it is permeable for FIR rays, PEMF
and ions. It is great for absorbing sweat and for keeping the contact
surfaces between the body and the mat dry.
This pillow case style
protector is machine washable on gentle or hand wash cycle. Air
drying is recommended.
3. Thick Multilayer Protective Cover with multiple MediCrystal®
logo on the top and built-in thin 3-D Air Mesh Pad
permeable
for FIR rays, ions. It also keeps the contact surfaces between the
body and the mat dry. This protector is used for cushioning the mat,
distributing body weight, and buffering the crystals’ pressure either
while sleeping on the mat or for long sessions. These covers with
100% bamboo top air layers are
not washable
. Instead of washing,
we recommend leaving the mat with the pad on it for one hour every
week on the highest heat setting to keep both of them clean and
disinfected. Newer generation covers have top perforated air layer
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
with small addition of polyester and are hand washable. This cover is
fixed on the mat with an elastic skirt.
4. Thin Waterproof Cover with 4-cornered elastic straps
, to be used
on top of the 3-D Pad Protector or on top of the mat directly. Great
for short and high intensive sessions.
This thin cover is machine
washable and dryer-friendly
. Gentle cycle is recommended.
We hope that our protectors help you feel more comfortable during the
sessions.
If the cover you want is not included in the set, it may be purchased
from MediCrystal®.
Please, check for more
information about covers
in the MediCrystal®
Catalog.
