Safety System
The heated underblanket is equipped with a safety system. The electronic sensor technology prevents the entire surface of the underblanket from overheating by automatically switching off in the event of a fault. If the safety system switches the underblanket off automatically due to a fault, then the heating indicator light on the controller is no longer illuminated, even if the underblanket is switched on.

NOTICE

• Please note that, for safety reasons, the underblanket must not be used after a fault and must be returned to the service address indicated.
• Never connect the defective underblanket to another controller of the same type. This would also result in a permanent shutdown by the safety system in the controller.

To Use

1. The control connector must be connected to the underblanket connector before plugging the unit into an electrical outlet. After connecting the underblanket connector to the control connector, plug the unit into a 120 VAC electrical outlet.
   

2. Spread the underblanket out onto your mattress, starting at the foot end, with the connector toward the head. Leave enough room at the head end for your pillow.

3. Attach the securing straps as shown. Start by attaching the first strap to the middle side loop of the underblanket, route it underneath the mattress, and then connect the other end to the other middle side loop on the underblanket (Fig. 1)
   

4. Attach the second strap to the lower side loop, then route the strap under the corner of the mattress and back up to the loop in the bottom center as shown in Fig. 2.
   

5. Then feed it through the loop in the middle of the foot end. Route the strap back under the other bottom corner of the mattress and back up again to the other bottom side loop as shown in Fig. 3.
   

6. Attach the third strap at the head end of the underblanket like the bottom end strap, routing it under the corners of the mattress and through the middle top loop as shown in Fig. 4.
   

7. Place your sheets and other bedding over the pad onto your mattress as normal.

NOTICE

• The heated underblanket may smell of plastic the first time you use it, but this will disappear after a short period of time.
