you may wipe it clean with a lightly dampened
cloth. The belt can be washed, but you must
first remove the controller and gel pads. Always
follow the instructions on the label when
washing the belt.

hand wash it in lukewarm water. This
protects the internal wiring from damage in
the washing machine.You should take care
even when hand washing and never wring
the belt to remove water.

Do not dry clean your belt.

on a flat surface, but not on anything hot
(e.g. a radiator) as the belt contains plastic
parts. Ensure the belt is completely dry
