WARNING

• Failure to observe the information provided below can lead to personal injury or material damage (electric shock, skin burns, fire). The following safety and hazard information not only serves to protect your health and the health of others, it also protects the product from damage.
• Therefore, observe this safety information and pass on these instructions together with the product.
• This electric under blanket must not be used by people who are not sensitive to heat or by vulnerable people who may not be able to react to overheating (e.g. diabetics, persons with skin changes related to illness, or persons with scarred skin in the area where the pad is to be applied, after taking any pain-relieving medication or alcohol).
• This heated under a blanket may not be used for very young children under the age of three (0-3) due to their inability to react to overheating.
• This heated under a blanket may not be used for young children over the age of three (3-8) unless the control has been pre-set by a parent or guardian and unless the child has been adequately instructed on how to operate the heated under the blanket safely.
• This heated under a blanket can be used by older children aged 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

• If the heated under blanket is used on an adjustable bed, check that the underblanket and cord do not become trapped or rucked, for example in hinges.
• This heated under blanket must be used with the type of control that is marked on the rating label of the heated underblanket, only.
• The electric and magnetic fields emitted by this electrical heat under a blanket may interfere with the operation of pacemakers. However, they are well below the permissible limits: electric field strength: maximum of 5,000 V/m, magnetic field strength: maximum of 80 A/m, magnetic flux density: maximum of 0.1 millitesla. Please therefore ask your doctor and the manufacturer of your pacemaker before using this product.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similar qualified persons to avoid a hazard.
• While this heated-under blanket is switched on
  • never place any objects on it (e.g. suitcases or laundry baskets),
  • and never place any heat source on it, such as a hot water bottle, heating pad, etc.
• When in use, the electronic components in the control of the heated under blanket make the control slightly warm. The switch should therefore never be covered or placed on the heated under a blanket when it is in operation.
• Should you still have questions about using our appliances, please contact our customer service.
• Always observe the notes on the operation (section 4), cleaning and maintenance (section 5) and storage (section 6).

Proper Use

CAUTION: This heated under blanket is designed for warming beds, only.

Operation

Safety

• CAUTION
  • This heated under a blanket is equipped with a SAFETY SYSTEM. This sensor technology prevents the entire surface of the heated-under blanket from overheating by automatically switching off the heated-under blanket in the event of a fault.
  • If the safety system has switched off the heated underblanket, the temperature setting is not illuminated anymore even when the heated under 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 controller of the same type. This would trigger a permanent switch-off via the controller safety system.

Putting into operation

• Spread out the heated underblanket flat onto your mattress starting at the foot end.
• Then put on your bedsheet in the usual manner so that the heated under blanket is between your mattress and the bedsheet.

CAUTION

• Make sure that the heated under a blanket 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 supply plug into the mains outlet.

Switching on

• Slide the ON/OFF switch [6] sideways [1] to the ON ( I ) position to switch on the electric under the blanket.
• When switched on, the display [2] 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.
• If the under blanket is rapidly switched off and then on again during the first 15 minutes, the fast heating function is deactivated for safety reasons.
• In this case, the word “Turbo” does not appear on the display.
• However, the electricity under a blanket is heated as normal.
• To reactivate the fast heating function the electricity under the blanket must be completely switched off for 20 minutes.

Selecting the temperature setting

• Press the button [3] to select the temperature setting for the body area.
• Press the button [5] to select the temperature setting for the foot area.
  • Level 0: off
  • Level 1 : minimum heat
  • Level 2 – 8: individual heat
  • Level 9: maximum heat

NOTE:

• Switching sequence of the temperature settings: 0 – 9 – 8 – 7 – 6 – 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1 – 0 – 9 …

WARNING

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

NOTE:

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

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 temperature setting 6 after 3 hours.

Selecting the automatic switch-off time

• Press the button to set the automatic switch-off time [4]. 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 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 underblanket.
• Switching off
  • Set the ON/OFF slider (4) to the OFF (0) position to switch off the electric under the blanket.
  • After switching off the temperature setting is not illuminated anymore.

NOTE:

If the heated under blanket won’t be used for several days, switch it off (Slider to setting “0”/OFF) and remove the supply plug from the main outlet.

• 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.
• kWh display
  • Press the “kWh” [7] 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.

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 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.
  • 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 electricity under the blanket should be operated for the full 12 hours.
