For this reason, pay attention to these safety notes and include these instructions when handing over the product to others.

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

The electrical and magnetic fields emitted by this electric underblanket 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 electric underblanket.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
- Electric blanket
- Control with position button
- Heating position – lighted
PRESCRIBED USE
CAUTION!
The electric underblanket is only intended for heating beds.
OPERATION
Safety
CAUTION!
- The electric underblanket has been provided with a SAFETY SYSTEM. This sensor technology prevents overheating of the electric underblanket on the entire surface through automatic deactivation in case of a breakdown. When the SAFETY SYSTEM has switched off the electric underblanket, the temperature levels in activated condition are no longer lighted.
- Do note that for reasons of safety the electric underblanket can no longer be used after a breakdown and should be sent to the indicated service address.
- Never connect the faulty electric underblanket to a different control of the same type. This would also ensure a final deactivation through the safety system in the control.
Use
- Evenly spread the electric underblanket over your mattress, starting at the foot end. Fasten the electric blanket with the elastic bands around the corners of the mattress. Approximately, the cord should be at shoulder height. The electric underblanket can be used on both sides.
- First connect the control to the connection point in the blanket by connecting the plug.
- Then insert the plug in the socket.
- Then, as usual, lay the fitted sheet over the bed, so that the electric underblanket is between the mattress and the fitted sheet. Each time you make the bed, check that the electric underblanket is flat and properly spread, before you switch it on.
CAUTION!
Make sure the electric underblanket is spread out fully flat and does not fold
or crumple during use. We recommend switching on the electric underblanket
about 15 minutes before you go to sleep and covering it with a duvet to
prevent the heat from escaping.
Switching on
Slide the position button for ON/OFF and the heating positions to position 1,
2 or 3 to switch on the electric underblanket.
In activated condition, a heating position is lighted – 1, 2 or 3.
Setting the heating position
Position 1: minimum heating
Position 2: medium heating
Position 3: maximum heating
ATTENTION
• The electric underblanket heats up the fastest when you first switch on the
highest temperature level.
WARNING:
If the electric underblanket is used for several hours, we recommend setting
the lowest heating position (position 1) to avoid the body overheating and
thereby any potential burns to the skin or heat stroke.
Automatic deactivation function
This electric blanket has been provided with an automatic deactivation
function. This means that the supply of heat is stopped approx. 180 minutes
after the electric blanket was activated. In order to use the electric blanket
again, you must first switch the position button OFF. After approximately 5
seconds you are able to switch the electric blanket on again.
Switching off
Slide the position button downwards to switch off the electric underblanket.
The heating position no longer lights up.
ATTENTION
If the electric underblanket is not used for a number of days, slide the
position button downwards to switch off the electric blanket and remove the
plug from the socket. Then disconnect the control from the electric
underblanket by removing the plug.
CLEANING AND 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.
CAUTION!
The control may never come into contact with water or other liquids. It could
get damaged as a result.
- Use a dry lint-free cloth for cleaning the control. Do not use chemical cleaning agents or abrasives.
- Small stains on the electric blanket can be removed with a cloth or a damp sponge and, if necessary, a little bit of gentle detergent liquid.
CAUTION!
The electric underblanket should not be dry cleaned, spun, dried in the
machine, mangled or ironed. Otherwise the electric underblanket could get
damaged.
- In case of a stronger level of contamination, the electric underblanket can be washed in the washing machine.
- Set the washing machine to a 30 °C program (wool program). Out of environmental considerations, we recommend washing the electric underblanket at the same time as other items. Use a gentle detergent in accordance with the manufacturer’s dosing instructions.
CAUTION!
Please note, the electric underblanket will wear if washed too often. For that
reason, the electric underblanket may be machine-washed for a maximum of 5
times during its lifetime.
- Immediately after washing, pull the electric underblanket in its original size and form while still wet, and leave it lying flat on
a drying rack.
CAUTION!
- Do not use pegs or other clamps to attach the electric blanket to the drying rack. Otherwise the electric underblanket could get damaged.
- Only connect the control to the electric underblanket when the plug connection and underblanket are fully dry. Otherwise the electric underblanket could get damaged.
WARNING
Never switch on the electric underblanket in order to dry it in this way! You
will run the risk of an electric shock.
STORING
If you do not use the electric underblanket for a longer period of time, we recommend storing it in its original packaging. For this, remove the plug of the control from the connection of the electric underblanket.
CAUTION!
-
Please allow the electric underblanket to cool down first.
Otherwise, the electric underblanket may be damaged. -
To avoid sharp folds in the electric underblanket, do not place any objects on top of it while it is being stored.
