pain relief. Thus, the grain pillow is an ideal
way to use heat and cold in a targeted thera-
peutic way on many different occasions.
The SPINEFITTER by SISSEL
Pro is particularly suitable for use on the mu-
scles near the spine due to its elongated
shape. It can be used individually or in combi-
nation with the SPINEFITTER by SISSEL
which it can be securely attached thanks to
the side pockets and the central band.
Application of heat
•
Only heat the cushion in the microwave or
oven.
•
Microwave: Make sure that the plate with
the grain pillow can rotate freely in the mi-
crowave and that there is no food residue in
the microwave. Place the grain pillow folded
in the microwave and distribute the filling
evenly if necessary. The actual performance
of different microwave brands varies despite
the same power specifications. We there-
fore recommend that you try to find the op-
timum heating time. You can use the
following information as a guide:
600 Watt: 2 minutes
1000 Watt: 60-90 seconds
Fire hazard! Make sure that the plate can
rotate freely in the microwave!
•
Remove the grain pillow from the micro-
wave and check the temperature. If further
heating is required, shake the product and
heat it again for 20 seconds. Then check
the temperature again and heat further if
necessary until the desired temperature is
reached.
•
Oven: Preheat the oven to 70 °C (top and
bottom heat or convection). Place the grain
pillow folded flat on a clean rack, if neces-
sary with baking paper and place in the
oven for 4 to 6 minutes on the middle shelf.

Carefully remove the grain pillow from the
oven and check the temperature. If further
heating is desired, shake the product and
heat it again for 1 to 2 minutes. Then check
the temperature again and heat further if
necessary until the desired temperature is
reached.
•
Place the grain pillow on the affected area
with a thin cotton cloth or your clothing as
an intermediate layer. Optional: Attach the
grain cushion to the SPINEFITTER as
shown and lie down on it. Do not use the
grain cushion in combination with the SPI-
NEFITTER for exercises performed in a
standing or kneeling position, as slipping of
the grain cushion could lead to loss of ba-
lance or slipping off the exercise equip-
ment.
Risk of injury! The heat may be unevenly
distributed at first. It is important to shake
the cushion well after each heating cycle
to distribute the temperature evenly in the
filling.
Risk of injury! Never place the grain pillow
directly on the skin, always use a thin cot-
ton cloth or your clothing as an intermedi-
ate layer.
Application cold
•
Place the grain pillow in a suitable plastic
bag in the refrigerator or freezer for at
least 2 hours. Place the grain pillow on the
affected area with a thin cotton cloth or
your clothing as an intermediate layer. Only
apply the grain pillow for as long as you
find it comfortable - max. 20 minutes. Be-
fore applying the grain pillow again, the
treated area should remain uncovered for
20 minutes.
