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.
This heated under a 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 a 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.

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 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 the blanket.
Do not pull, twist or make sharp bends in the cables.
If the cable and control of the heated underblanket 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. The user must ensure that excess length 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.
If the mains connection cable of this heated under a blanket is damaged, it must be disposed of. If it cannot be removed, the heated underplant-ket must be disposed of.
When this heated under a blanket is switched on:
Do not place any sharp objects on it

Intended use

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

Operation

Safety

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 safety system.

Initial use

Spread out the heated under blanket flat onto your mattress starting at the foot end.
To operate the heated under 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 heated under blanket is between your mattress and the bedsheet

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.
Lie in comfort If the plug-in connector at shoulder level bothers you, you can rotate the electricity under a blanket by 180° so that the plug-in connector lies at the foot of the bed (see illustration). So that the switch is within comfortable reach of your hand, Beurer offers a switch with a longer connection cable (Item no. 108.611). This is available directly from Beurer Customer Services.

Switching on

Set the ON/OFF slider (4) to the ON (I) position to switch on the heated under blanket (see Fig. switch). The temperature settings will then light up. 4.4 Selecting the temperature setting
To increase the temperature, press the button (6). To decrease the temperature, press the button (7). After switching on the temperature setting is illuminated.

Setting 0: OFF
Setting 1: minimum heat
Setting 2-3: Individual heat
Setting 4: maximum heat

The quickest way to heat up the heated under a blanket 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.

WARNING

If the heated under a blanket is being used over several hours, we recommend that you set the lowest temperature setting on the control to avoid the body overheating and thereby any potential burns to the skin or heat stroke.

Automatic switch-back

This heated under blanket features an automatic switch-back for safety purposes. Temperature settings 4 and 3 are automatically switched to the temperature setting 2 after 3 hours.

Automatic switch-off

This heated under a blanket is equipped with an automatic switch-off. This turns off the heat supply 12 hours after the heated under a blanket is first switched on. This is indicated by a flashing temperature setting. In order to reactivate the heated under blanket, the sliding switch (4) must initially be set to off (“0” position). After about 5 seconds it is possible to switch it on again. If the heated under blanket will not be used after the timed switch- off, it should be switched off (sliding switch to position “0”) and the mains plug removed from the mains socket.

Switching off

Set the ON/OFF slider (4) to the OFF (0) position to switch off the heat under the blanket. After switching off the temperature setting is not illuminated anymore.
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.

Cleaning and maintenance

Always remove the supply plug from the mains outlet and remove the control from the heated under-blanket by disconnecting it at the connector. Otherwise there is a risk of an electric shock.
The control must never come into contact with water or other liquids, as this may cause damage.
To clean the control, use a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning agents containing solvent or scouring agents.
To remove stains from the heated underblanket use a damp cloth and, if necessary, a mild cleaning agent.
Note that the heated underblanket must not be dry-cleaned, wrung out, machine dried or ironed. Otherwise the heated underblanket may be damaged.
The heated underblanket is machine washable.
Set the washing machine to a particularly gentle, 30 °C cycle (woolens programme). Use a mild detergent with dosage according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Note that the heated underblanket will suffer from too frequent washing.
For its entire life, therefore, the heated underblanket should be washed not more than 5 times in a washing machine.
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.
Do not attach the heated underblanket to washing lines with washing pegs or the like. Otherwise the heated underblanket may be damaged.
Only reconnect the control to the heated underblanket after the connector and the heated under-blanket are completely dry. Otherwise the heated underblanket may be damaged.
Under no circumstances switch on the heated underblanket to dry it. Otherwise there is a risk of an electric shock.

Storage

When not in use we recommend to store the heated underblanket in its original packaging. For this purpose, disconnect the control from the electric underblanket by unplugging the plug-in coupling.

Allow the heated underblanket to cool down before folding. Otherwise the heated underblanket may be damaged.
Do not crease the heated underblanket by placing items on top of it during storage.
