USE

• Spread the throw over your sofa, armchair or bed ensuring that the throw connector is at the foot position.
• Place the throw over you without wrapping it tightly and without sitting on it as this may cause the overheat protection system to activate.

CONNECTING THE CONTROL UNIT

• Insert the control unit connector (2) in the throw connector (1) to connect the control unit to the throw.
• Insert the plug of the control unit cable in the mains socket (3). Every time the plug is inserted, the control unit automatically performs a self-diagnosis, lighting up all LEDs (10, 11) in a clockwise sequence for around two seconds.

SWITCHING ON AND SELECTING THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE

The control unit can be set to the following temperature levels:

• 6: Fast pre-heat temperature
• 5-4: Medium pre-heat temperature
• 3-1: Continuous or all-night use

To switch the throw on press the ON/OFF button (7). Every time the appliance is turned on, the control unit automatically checks the appliance is working correctly, lighting up all LEDs (10, 11) in a clockwise sequence. Following this check, the control unit automatically sets temperature 6 and the timer (auto-off time) to 1 hour.
For fast pre-heat, use maximum temperature 6. If you like a medium pre-heat temperature, then you can select 4-5 by pressing the temperature selector button (8) until the LED for the required temperature lights up (11). The higher the number selected, the higher the temperature.
IMPORTANT: The time needed for the throw to warm up will depend on the room temperature. To judge the temperature accurately, lie on your sofa with the throw draped over you. Do not rely on a hand placed on the throw.

CONTINUOUS USE
For continuous use, set the control unit to temperature levels from 1 to 3 only.
To set the control unit to the continuous use temperature, press the temperature selector button (8) until LEDs 1, 2 or 3 light up (11).
DO NOT set the control unit to a higher temperature than recommended for continuous use.
If the control unit is set to a higher temperature the user may suffer skin burns or heat stroke.
WARNING! DO NOT place the control unit under the pillow or under the sheets when in use.

AUTO SHUT OFF TIMER

The throw has an automatic shut off timer of 1,3 or 9 hours. When switched on, the control unit automatically sets itself to 1 hour on the auto shut off timer and LED 1h lights up in green (10). To set a different auto shut off timer, press the timer selector button (6) and select the desired timer. Each time the auto shut off time is reset, the timer starts from zero. When the time has elapsed, the throw switches off and the standby LED (9) lights up in blue.

NOTE: should the power supply accidentally be interrupted during use, when the control unit is switched back on, it will maintain the temperature and timer settings in use previously and the timer counter will start from zero.

NOTE : the light intensity reduces around 15 seconds after any button is last pressed, so that the display light does not bother users. Similarly, the standby LED becomes less bright 15 seconds after it is activated.

SWITCHING OFF

Switch the throw off by pressing the ON/OFF button (7) and remove the plug from the socket (3).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The throw is washable. Check the washing symbols on the label to ensure it is washed correctly.
WARNING! Always disconnect the appliance from the mains and disconnect the control connector from the throw before cleaning or performing maintenance.

BEFORE WASHING

• Take the plug of the control unit cable out of the mains socket (3).
• Press the grip levers at the sides of the control unit connector (2) to remove the control unit connector from the throw connector (1).

MACHINE WASHING

• The throw can be cleaned in the washing machine at 30°C, on a delicate cycle.
• Use only the delicate cycle for spinning. DO NOT make an additional spinning cycle.

DRYING IN THE TUMBLE DRYER

• The throw can be dried in a tumble dryer on a delicate cycle at a moderate temperature,but at the end of the drying cycle it must be air-dried to allow it to dry completely.
• Remove the throw from the tumble dryer at the end of the drying cycle and reshape it to its original size.
• Allow the throw to fully air-dry before using it again.

DRYING IN THE OPEN AIR

• When the throw is spread out to dry on a clothes airer, it must be stretched so the original size is more or less maintained. This is best done while the throw is still damp, working alternately on the opposite corners and pulling one side at a time. You might have to repeat this procedure several times until the throw is completely dry.

WARNING! Dry the appliance flat without using pegs to avoid  damaging it. Leave it to dry, laid out flat on a clothes airer, not in direct sunlight.

• Only use the throw when it’s thoroughly dry.
• Do not iron the throw.

WARNING! Examine the appliance against the light to make sure the cables are not bent or twisted.
WARNING! If the appliance does not resume its original size or if problems arise with the internal cables contact an authorised service centre for a safety check.

STORING THE THROW

When not in use, store as follows:

• If the throw has been washed, wait until it’s completely dry;
• Fold it like a normal throw;
• You are advised to store the throw in the original packaging it was supplied in;
• When storing the appliance, allow it to cool down before folding;
• Put the throw away in a dry place.

Examine the appliance and its supply cord frequently for signs of wear or damage. lf there are such signs or in the case of malfunction, contact an authorised technical service centre.

DISPOSAL

The packaging of the appliance is made of recyclable materials. Dispose of the packaging in accordance with the environmental protection regulations.
Pursuant to Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), the crossed bin symbol on the appliance or its packaging indicates that the appliance must be disposed of separately from other waste at the end of its useful life.
The user must therefore take the appliance to an appropriate recycling centre for electrical and electronic equipment. Alternatively, instead of handling the disposal, the user can hand over the appliance to the retailer when a new, equivalent one is purchased. The user can hand over electronic products measuring less than 25 cm to retailers of electronic products having a sales area of at least 400 m2 free of charge and with no obligation to buy. Proper waste sorting prior to sending the equipment no longer used for recycling, processing and disposal in a manner that respects the environment contributes towards avoiding negative impacts on the environment and on health and promotes the reuse and/or recycling of the equipment’s material.

ASSISTANCE AND WARRANTY

The appliance is guaranteed for a period of two years from the date of delivery. The warranty period starts from the date indicated on the receipt/invoice (if clearly legible), unless the purchaser can demonstrate that it was delivered at a later date. In the case of a product defect that existed prior to the delivery date, its repair or replacement is guaranteed without any cost, unless one of the two remedies is disproportionate with respect to the other. The purchaser is required to report the lack of conformity to an authorised Service Centre within two months of the discovery of the defect.
The warranty does not cover all the parts that are defective as a result of the following:

• a. damage from transport or accidental drops,
• b. incorrect installation or inadequate electrical system,
• c. repairs or alterations performed by unauthorised personnel,
• d. insufficient or improper maintenance and cleaning,
• e. products and/or product parts subject to wear and/or consumables, including the reduced operating time of the batteries (if installed) due to usage or age,
• f. non-observance of the operating instructions for the appliance, negligent or careless usage,
• g. cable twisted and/or bent excessively,
• h. cable pulled or torn,
• i. heating panel bent during use, crumpled and/or torn,
• j. incorrect washing (e.g. centrifuge, wringing, with control unit enabled, etc.),
• k. obvious burn marks from external sources (cigarette etc.),
• l. bent back on itself.

The above list is provided as a mere example, and is not complete, as this warranty does not apply to any of the circumstances that cannot be connected to appliance manufacturing defects. The warranty is also excluded in the case of improper use of the appliance and in case of professional use. The manufacturer declines all liability for any damage that can be caused directly or indirectly to people, property or pets as a result of the failure to observe all the instructions indicated in the “Instructions and warnings booklet” regarding appliance installation, use and maintenance.
This does not apply to the seller’s contractual warranty actions.
Service mode
The appliance may only be repaired by an authorised service centre. If under warranty, the defective appliance must be sent to the Service Centre together with proof of purchase that indicates the date of purchase or delivery.
