ing the seat.
• Do not put anything on the seat which insulates heat, such as a blanket,
cushion, seat cover, etc. Otherwise, the
seat may become overheated.
• Do not place anything hard or heavy on the seat or pierce it with a pin or similar
object. This may result in damage to
the heater.
• Any liquid spilled on the heated seat should be removed immediately with a
dry cloth.
• When cleaning the seat, never use gasoline, thinner, or any similar mate-
rials.
