Intended use
CAUTION
This heated underblanket is designed for warming beds, only.
Operation
Safety
CAUTION
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
CAUTION
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
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 heatd 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.
WARNING
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 care
WARNING
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.
CAUTION
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.

- 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.

the heated underblanket may be damaged. - Do not crease the heated underblanket by placing items on top of it
