Intended use

This heated underblanket is designed for warming beds, only.

Operation

Safety

• This heated underblanket is equipped with a SAFETY SYSTEM. This sensor technology prevents the entire surface of the heated underblanket from overheating by automatically switching off the heated underblanket in the event of a fault. If the safety system has switched off the heated underblanket, the temperature setting is not illuminated any more even when the heated underblanket is switched on.
• Please note that the heated underblanket is not operable any more due to safety reasons in this case and has to be sent to the service address indicated.
• Do not connect the defective heated underblanket with another control of the same type. This would trigger a permanent switch off via the control's safety system.

Putting into operation

This heated underblanket must be fixed onto the mattress.

1. Leave space for the pillow and place the heated underblanket on the mattress with the plug in connector facing the pillow. Here, the plug in connector is located on the underside of the heated underblanket.
2. Stretch all of the elastic straps over the corners of the mattress. All 4 corners of the heated underblanket are then fixed onto the mattress.
   
   Regularly check the position of the heated underblanket on the mattress. The heated underblanket must never be used if it is folded.

After you have fixed the heated underblanket to the mattress, simply put your bed sheet on top as usual so that the heated underblanket is between the mattress and the bed sheet.

Make sure that the heated underblanket is spread out entirely flat and that it will not rumple up or crease when in use.

• To operate the heated underblanket connect the control to the heated underblanket by plugging in the connector.
• Then plug in the power plug into the mains outlet.

Switching on

To switch on the heated underblanket, set the slider for ON/OFF and temperature settings to setting 1, 2 or 3.
The temperature settings are illuminated when switched on.

Setting the temperature

Setting 0: OFF
Setting 1: minimum heat
Setting 2: medium heat
Setting 3: maximum heat

NOTE:

• The fastest way to warm up the heated underblanket is to initially set the highest temperature setting.
• We strongly recommend switching on the heated underblanket approx. 30 minutes before going to bed and covering it with the quilt to prevent the warmth from escaping.

If the heated underblanket is used continuously (for several hours) it is recommended to use the lowest setting of the control to avoid overheating of the user.

Switching off

To switch off the heated underblanket, set the slider for ON/OFF and temperature settings to the "0" (OFF) position. The temperature settings are then no longer illuminated.
NOTE:
If the heated underblanket is not used for several days, set the slider for ON/OFF and temperature settings to the "0" (OFF) position and remove the power plug from the socket. Then remove the control from the heated underblanket by disconnecting it at the connector.

Cleaning and maintenance

Always remove the power plug from the mains outlet and remove the control from the heated underblanket by disconnecting it at the connector. Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.

The control must never get in contact to water or other liquids. Otherwise the control may be damaged.

• To clean the control, use a dry, lint free cloth. Do not use any chemical or abrasive cleaning agents.
• The textile cover can be cleaned in accordance with the symbols on the label and must be removed from the heating pad prior to cleaning.

Note that the heated underblanket must not be dry cleaned, wrung out, machine dried or ironed.

• The heated underblanket is machine washable.
• Set the washing machine to a particularly gentle, 30°C cycle (woolens programme). Use a mild detergent with dosage according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Note that the heated underblanket will suffer from too frequent washing. For its entire life, therefore, the heated underblanket should be washed not more than 5 times in a washing machine.

• While the heated underblanket is still damp after washing, shape it to its original form and size and place it flat over a clothes drying rack to dry.

• Do not attach the heated underblanket to washing lines with washing pegs or the like. Otherwise the heated underblanket may be damaged.
• Only reconnect the control to the heated underblanket after the connector and the heated underblanket are completely dry. Otherwise the heated underblanket may be damaged.

Under no circumstances switch on the heated underblanket to dry it. Otherwise there is a risk of an electric shock.

Storage

When not in use we recommend to store the heated underblanket in its original packaging. For this purpose, disconnect the control from the heated underblanket by unplugging the plug in coupling.

• Allow the heated underblanket to cool down before folding. Otherwise the heated underblanket may be damaged.
• Do not crease the heated underblanket by placing items on top of it during storage.
