WARNING

• Non-observance of the following notes may result in personal injury or material damage (electric shock, skin burns, fire). The following safety and hazard information is not only intended to protect your health and the health of others, it should also protect the product. For this reason, pay attention to these safety notes and include these instructions when handing over the product to others.

• This heated under blanket must not be used by persons who are not sensitive to heat or by other vulnerable persons who may not be able to react to overheating (e.g. diabetics, people with skin alterations due to illness or scarred tissue in the application area, after taking pain relief medication or alcohol).

• This heated under blanket must not be used by very young children (0-3 years old) as they are unable to respond to overheating.

• The heated under blanket can be used by children older than 3 and younger than 8 years of age provided they are supervised. For this, the control must always be set to the minimum temperature.

• This heated under blanket may be used by children over the age of 8 and by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental skills or a lack of experience or knowledge, provided that they are supervised and have been instructed on how to use the heated under blanket safely, and are fully aware of the consequent risks of use.

• Children must not play with the heated under  blanket.

• Cleaning and user maintenance must not be performed by children unless supervised.

• This heated under blanket is not designed for use in hospitals.

• This heated under blanket is only intended for domestic/private use, not for commercial use.

• Do not insert needles.

• Before using it on an adjustable bed, check that the heated under blanket and the cables are not, for example, trapped in a hinge or bunched up.

• This heated under blanket may only be used in conjunction with the control specified on the label.

• This heated under blanket must only be connected to the mains voltage that is specified on the label.

• The electrical and magnetic fields emitted by this heated under blanket may interfere with the function of a pacemaker. However, they are still well below the limits: electrical field strength: max. 5000 V/m, magnetic field strength: max. 80 A/m, magnetic flux density: max. 0.1 millitesla. Please therefore consult your doctor and the manufacturer of your pacemaker before using this heated under blanket.

• If the cable and control are not positioned properly, there may be a risk of becoming entangled in, being strangled by, tripping over, or stepping on the cable and control of the heated under blanket. The user must ensure that excess lengths of cable, and cables in general, are safely routed.

• Please check this heated under blanket frequently for signs of wear and tear or damage. If any such signs are evident, if the heated under blanket has been used incorrectly or if it no longer heats up, it must be checked by the manufacturer before being switched on again.

• Under no circumstances should you open or repair the heated under blanket (including the accessories) yourself because faultless functionality can no longer be guaranteed thereafter. Failure to observe this will invalidate the warranty.

• The appliance may not be used with an external timer  or a separate remote control.

• If the mains connection cable of this heated under blanket is damaged, it must be disposed of. If it cannot be removed, the heated under blanket must be disposed of.

operation

4.1 Safety
CAUTION

• This heated under blanket is equipped with the INVENTUM SAFETY SYSTEM (ISS). 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.

4.2 Initial use

• Spread out the heated under blanket flat onto your mattress starting at the foot end. The electric blanket can be used on both sides.

• To operate the heated under blanket connect the Control to the heated under blanket by plugging in the connector.

• Then plug in the supply plug into the mains outlet.

• Then put on your bed sheet in the usual manner so that the heated under blanket is between your mattress and the bed sheet.

CAUTION
Make sure that the under blanket is spread out entirely flat and that it will not rumple up or crease when in use. Check its position when making the bed.
4.3 Switching on
Slide the ON/OFF switch (6) on the side of the control (2) to position 1 ( I ), to switch the electric blanket on.
When it is switched on, the LED indicator for temperature setting 1 lights up.
4.4 Setting the temperature
Press the button (4) to increase the temperature.
Press the button (5) to decrease the temperature.
Setting 0: OFF
Setting 1: minimum heat
Setting 2: medium heat
Setting 3: maximum heat
Stand : maximum heat – just the feet area
NOTE

• The quickest way to heat up the electric underblanket is to select the highest temperature setting of the control, first.
• We strongly recommend switching on the electric underblanket approx. 30 minutes before going to bed and covering it with the quilt to prevent the warmth from escaping.

CAUTION
If the heated underblanket is used continuously (for several hours) it is recommended to use the lowest setting (1) of the control to avoid the body overheating and thereby any potential burns to the skin or heat stroke.
4.5 Automatic switch off
This electric underblanket switches off automatically after 12 hours. Once the electric underblanket has switched off, it is no longer heated and the LED indicator for temperature setting 1 flashes.
To switch on the electric underblanket again, first set the ON/OFF switch on the side of the control to the OFF ( 0 ) position for 5 seconds. Then set the ON/OFF switch back to ON ( I ) and select the desired temperature setting.
4.6 Switching off
Slide the on-/ off button (9) at the side of the control to position 0, to switch the electric blanket off.
NOTE
If the electric underblanket is not used for several days, set the ON/OFF switch to the OFF (0) position and remove the mains plug from the socket. Then remove the control from the electric underblanket by disconnecting it at the connector.

cleaning & maintenance

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