Q. DOES IT MATTER WHAT KIND OF WATER I USE IN MY THERMAZONE®?
A. Yes, DISTILLED WATER is the only liquid you should use in your ThermaZone®. Tap, filtered, or bottled water has many types of suspended pollutants, microscopic chemicals, toxins, and other contaminants which can harm the machine. Filling the machine with anything but distilled water will void the warranty on the unit.
Q. WHAT TEMPERATURE SHOULD THE DISTILLED WATER BE WHEN I FILL MY THERMAZONE®?
A. Room temperature DISTILLED water is best.
Q. HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO FILL THE DEVICE WITH DISTILLED WATER?
A. You only need to fill the device with distilled water during the setup process. Depending on how many different pads you use, the number of times you fill the device may vary.
Q. WHAT IF I OVERFILL THE DEVICE WITH DISTILLED WATER?
A. If too much water is poured into the device and the water level is above the Max fill line, you can either absorb the excess water in the reservoir with a paper towel or tip the device slightly and pour some of the water out. To prevent damage to the device when filled with distilled water, do not turn it upside down. Before you operate the device, make sure the water level is between the Min and Max level.
Q. WHERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO STORE THE MACHINE?
A. It is recommended that after usage, the unit and pads are stored in a cool, clean, dry space, which is kept at room temperature (approximately 72°F). Unplug the unit and completely seal the black rubber fill cap before storing it to prevent any debris from entering the machine. Store the unit flat in the device box so the device doesn’t tip over and has the potential to leak. Please see the “Transport, Storage & Disposal” section of the Instruction and Safety Manual for further details.
Q. DO I HAVE TO EMPTY THE WATER FROM THE MACHINE OR THE PADS AFTER USE OR BEFORE STORING?
A. No. One of the advantages of the ThermaZone® unit is that after the initial set-up process, there is no need to fill the device with distilled water before each use. The water remains inside the unit and inside the relief pads when not in use, therefore making the device readily available for the next use. However, if you do not plan on using your ThermaZone unit for over three months, it’s suggested that you drain the unit before storage. Please see the “Transport, Storage & Disposal” section of the Instruction and Safety Manual for further details.
Q. IS IT OK FOR MY THERMAZONE® IF I GO BACK AND FORTH FROM HEAT TO COOL AND FROM COOL TO HEAT?
A. Yes, ThermaZone is built to provide contrast therapy (HEAT and COOL). It will take a few minutes for ThermaZone® to switch from one therapeutic mode to the next, as the device needs time to protect the heating and cooling element before switching modes. A countdown timer will appear in the display window and count backward to 0 before switching to the other mode.
Q. CAN THERMAZONE BE USED IN A VEHICLE?
A. Yes, ThermaZone® can be used in a vehicle with the specially designed ThermaZone® AC Auto Power Cord. Using ThermaZone with any other type of vehicle adapter will result in avoiding of the warranty. While a vehicle is in operation, ThermaZone® can be used by passengers. Under no circumstances should anyone use ThermaZone® while driving or operating a vehicle. Because the vehicle adapter is running off the car’s alternator or battery, the operation of the ThermaZone® unit is dependent on the type of car and the strength of the battery in that car. Please see the Auto Power Cord Safety & Instruction Manual for more details.
Q. DO THE PADS COME WITH A WARRANTY?
A. All ThermaZone® pads come with a Limited 90-day warranty. Consult with your ThermaZone® instruction manual for a full description of the warranty coverage.
Q. DOES THE POWER SUPPLY COME WITH A WARRANTY?
A. The ThermaZone® unit and power supply come with a 1-year limited warranty. Consult with the ThermaZone® instruction manual for a full description of the warranty coverage.
