operation

4.1 Safety
CAUTION

• This heated under a blanket is equipped with the INVENTUM SAFETY SYSTEM (ISS). This sensor technology prevents the entire surface of the heated under a blanket from overheating by automatically switching off the heated underblanket in the event of a fault. If the safety system has switched off the heat under the blanket, the temperature setting is not illuminated anymore even when the heat under a blanket is switched on.
• Please note that the heat under a blanket is not operable anymore due to safety reasons in this case and has to be sent to the service address indicated.
• Do not connect the defective heat under a blanket 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.
• To operate the heat under the blanket connect the control to the heat under a blanket by plugging in the connector.
• Then plug in the supply plug into the mains outlet.
• Then put on your bedsheet in the usual manner so that the heat under a blanket is between your mattress and the bedsheet.

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.

Additional information
The area intended for the head cannot be heated. Guide the plug-in coupling plug through the slot on the side section [10] and then connect the switch to the electricity under a blanket by plugging together the plug-in coupling [8]. Then pull the side section over the sides of your mattress like a contour sheet. The under a blanket is designed to fit mattresses of the size 210×90 cm and 210×100 cm. Then secure your contour sheet as accustomed so that the under a blanket is between your mattress and the contour sheet.

4.3 Switching on
Slide the ON/OFF switch sideways to the ON ( I ) position to switch on the electricity under the blanket. When switched on, the display lights up and at first displays all the segments for approx. 2 seconds. After that, the following basic settings are displayed: Temperature setting for body area: 0 Temperature setting for foot area: 0 Automatic switch-off time: 1 h (= 1 hour)

NOTE
The illuminance level drops after approx. 5 seconds so that your sleep is not disturbed during the night.
NOTE
This electric under a blanket has a rapid heating function, allowing for faster warming in the first 15 minutes. During this time, “Turbo” flashes on the display.

4.4 Selecting the temperature setting
Press button (3) to select the temperature setting for the body area.
Press button (5) to select the temperature setting for the foot area.

NOTE

• Switching sequence of the temperature settings: 0-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-0-9…
• The quickest way to heat up the electricity under a blanket is to select the highest temperature setting of the control, first.
• We strongly recommend switching on the electric under blanket approx. 30 minutes before going to bed and covering it with the quilt to prevent the warmth from escaping.

CAUTION
If the electricity under a blanket is used continuously (for several hours) it is recommended to use the lowest setting (1) of the control to avoid overheating of the user.

4.5 Automatic switch-back
NOTE
This electric under blanket features an automatic switch-back for safety purposes. Temperature settings 9, 8, and 7 are automatically switched to the temperature setting 6 after 3 hours.

4.6 Selecting the automatic switch-off time

• Press the button to set the automatic switch-off time. You can set the automatic switch-off time as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. or 12 hours.

NOTE
Switching sequence of the automatic switch-off time:
1 h – 12 h – 11 h – 10 h – 9 h etc. 1 h – 12 h – 11 h etc. (time in hours).
If the time remaining is under an hour it is shown in minutes (e.g. 59 min.)

• The electricity under a blanket is automatically switched off once the set switch-off time has elapsed. The following is then shown in the display:

Temperature setting for body area: 0
Temperature setting for foot area: 0
Automatic switch-off time: “0 min” flashes

• To switch on the electricity under the blanket again, press either the button to set the temperature setting of the body area or of the foot area.
• If you do not want to use the electric under blanket beyond the selected switch-off time, slide the ON/OFF switch to the OFF (0) position to switch off the electric under blanket.

4.7 Switching off
Set the ON/OFF slider to the OFF (0) position to switch off the electricity under the blanket. After switching off the temperature setting is not illuminated anymore.
NOTE
If the electric under blanket won’t be used for several days, set the slider for ON/OFF and temperature settings to the OFF (0) position and remove the mains plug from the socket.

4.8 ECO control
Temperature settings 1, 2, 3, and 4 are particularly energy-efficient. If these temperature settings have been selected, the “ECO” symbol is shown in the display.
4.9 kWh display
Press the “kWh” button to display the current power consumption in kWh. The power consumed since the last switch-on is displayed. Due to the low power consumption in the “ECO” temperature settings, the displayed value (power consumption in kWh) takes a while to change. If both zones are set to temperature setting ’9’, it will take approx. 8 minutes for the display to change from 0.00 kWh to 0.01 kWh.

NOTE
A healthy sleeping environment can be achieved by keeping the bedroom cool and pre-heating your bed shortly before going to bed. Lower heating costs for the bedroom also create further cost savings.

4.10 Anti-allergy temperature setting
Useful information
In recent years, the number of people allergic to domestic dust has risen sharply. Typical symptoms of this allergy are irritated eyes, sneezing fits, coughing fits, and shortness of breath in the early morning. These reactions are triggered by proteins in the excrement of the house dust mite. Mites are almost always present in warm and humid microclimates, as are often found in beds. They feed mainly on human skin scales and mildew and can be found in every house. Even with a regular and thorough cleaning, dust and skin cells continuously build up.

• With the anti-allergy temperature setting, you can fight back against the mite population and create a dry, mildew-free bed environment.
• For this, set the body and foot area temperatures to level 9 and the automatic switch-off time to 12 hours. “Anti-Allergy” is shown in the display.
• In order to prevent heat from being lost, the electricity under the blanket must be completely covered by the duvet for this process.
• This process dries out your mattress and thereby creates a hostile microclimate for the mites. We recommend regular use of the anti-allergy temperature setting. Ideally, the electric under blanket should be operated for the full 12 hours.

cleaning & maintenance

WARNING
Always remove the supply plug from the mains outlet and remove the control from the electric under a blanket by disconnecting it at the connector.
CAUTION
The control must never get in contact with 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.
• Small marks on the electric under blanket can be removed with a damp cloth or sponge, or if necessary, with a little liquid detergent for delicate laundry.

CAUTION
The electric under blanket should not be dry cleaned, wrung out, dried in the machine, mangled, or ironed. Otherwise, the electricity under the blanket could get damaged.

• In case of heavier soiling, this electric blanket can be washed in a washing machine.
• Set the washing machine to a particularly gentle, 30 °C cycle (woolens program). Use a wool laundry detergent and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

CAUTION
Note that excessive washing will wear out the electric blanket. For this reason, the electric blanket should only be machine-washed a maximum of 5 times throughout its entire life.

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

CAUTION

• Do not attach the electricity under the blanket to washing lines with washing pegs or similar. Otherwise, the electricity under the blanket may be damaged.
• Only reconnect the control to the electricity under the blanket after the connector and the electricity under the blanket are completely dry. Otherwise, the electricity under the blanket may be damaged.

WARNING
Under no circumstances switch on the electricity under the blanket to dry it. Otherwise, there is a risk of an electric shock.

storage

When not in use we recommend storing the electricity under a blanket in its original packaging. For this purpose, disconnect the control from the electricity under a blanket by unplugging the plug-in coupling.

CAUTION

• Please allow the electricity under the blanket to cool down first. Otherwise, the electricity under the blanket may be damaged.
• To avoid sharp folds in the electricity under a blanket, do not place any objects on top of it while it is being stored.
