The manufacturer said in the instructions that it's ok to turn it on 30 minutes before you go to bed. I used to turn mine all the way up, then turn it down when I got into bed after 30 minutes or less. As I mentioned in my review, I noticed some mild scorching on and around the pillow area. I'm uneasy about using it now. When I do, I only turn it to 1 or even 0-1. I still use it as a mattress pad, but I have to be chilled to the core before I turn it on. I'm not making any accusations. I'm just saying use a little caution. My in-laws' woke up to discover their electric blanket in flames, so I'm a little gun shy.

I just turn it on high about 30-45 minutes before bed. Then I turn it down to low or 1.

We turn it all the way up for about 15 minutes and then turn it down to 3 for me and 4 for her side.

We put it on high about 30 minutes before bed and then just reduce the heat.

It a precondition feature, you just turn it on by hitting a little button under the number level display which I do as part of my night time ritual as I get ready for bed. You adjust it to your own comfort level. I have mine as 2. When it is the coldest outside, 3 is the highest for me.

I just turn it on 2 about a half hour before I go to bed, then turn it down once im in. I have NEVER had it on the highest setting. Never really needed to.

Dawn - the pad that heats the water INthe matress MUST go UNDER the water matress - so OBVIOUSLY since the matress when filled weighs half a ton or more - it must be drained.OF COURSE it must be drained to replace or to plain the first time.BTW mine is working fine after 7 or 8 monthsJoe

If you unsnap the heating pad cover there is a square of material inside. Remove this, wet it, wring it out so it is only moist. Put it back inside the outer covering. It will heat up and deliver moist heat.

follow the poles down on either side of the device. On the side of those poles within an inch or two of where it curves under the mattress, there will be release buttons (hard to press). They are slightly darker color than rest of plastic in bulge

Hello, honestly all heating pads have the same directions. My mother inlaw who follows all the rules will lay the pad on her self to not crush it. I admit the folding is important because of the wires and that makes sense to me, however, I do lay and lean on it. Infact I have it next to my bed and I put it on for an hour while I lay on it. Then I pull it out and go to sleep. I just make sure it's not bent or nothing that will prick it or tear it. Q- I do notice that the button to turn it on/ off at times doesn't seem to want to work. Just when I am goin to give up- it works. Any problems with that ? Hello, honestly all heating pads have the same directions.

I did. Fold along natural lines in the pad and turn the pad half way through the heating cycle. Hope this helps. Sarah

I can't but I also bought a regular cheap pad to lay over the top plus my fitted sheet. I don't even know its there. Plenty warm. Sometimes number 2 setting gets to warm for me. I really doubt you'll be disappointed.

Carefully and thoroughly read your manual. Be sure the heating pad label is facing up. Disconnect the cords from the outlet and from the mattress pad. Reconnect the cords first to the mattress pad making sure to insert properly and then reconnect to the outlet.

Since this pad can easily be overheated and cause a serious burn to the skin, I would suggest that this customer contact the company for specific directions- if he has removed the contact numbers perhaps Amazon could assist with the correct phone number. DJones

No! It's advertised but this particular model does not have the pre-heat feature! I was not very happy when I discovered this!!

There is a small piece of fabric on one side of the pad that you can take in and out you can wet it wring out excess and place back inside the pad and turn to desired setting...the fabric feels like felt to me so if you wanted a bigger area of moistures you could always buy the material to cut a piece that's true to size of heating pad....I was nervous buying this...but I absolutely love it with no regrets...I don't understand how ppl feel it doesn't get hot.....it gets very very hot to me...I love it

Mine is an older model. It has no inflation options. I just press the start button.

I love this mattress pad, but I purchased because my new gel memory foam mattress was hot. My husband doesn't seems to have an issue, I'm still warm!

Unplug the unit from the power supply and the pad itself. Replug it in. Check the cords as well so they are impinged.Check for humidity levels in the room. Also, mine has been set for minimal time needed and not on the 8 hour settings. I also power it down every day. I don't wash it either.The instructions also stateto checky the connectivity. It also could be set at a too high of temperature.If not resolved by any of these methods, it needs either service from the sales staff or it is broken.
