- How does the moist heat work?
- You dampen the fabric cover lightly with water before turning the pad on. The heat then carries moisture to the skin. It is not a steam device, so the cover needs re-damping for each session.
- Is the cover machine-washable?
- Yes, the outer fabric cover comes off and can go in the washing machine. The vinyl pad and cord must stay dry and should only be wiped clean.
- How long does it stay on before shutting off?
- The pad shuts off automatically after a set period, so you do not have to remember to unplug it. Check the controller for the exact interval on your unit.
- Can I use it on my back and shoulders?
- Yes. The king-size pad is long enough to drape over the shoulders or lay across the lower back. It is less handy for small joints like wrists or knees.
- Does it have a warranty?
- Sunbeam heating pads typically carry a limited warranty, usually around two years. Keep the receipt, since controller failures are the most common claim.
- Is it safe to sleep with?
- The auto shutoff makes it safer for dozing, but the maker advises against sleeping on a heating pad all night. Use it on the lower setting and let the timer end the session.
