-
Do not use the blanket in an adjustable bed. If you use it in an adjustable bed, make sure it is not bent or that its power cord is not snagged or twisted anywhere.
-
Avoid using pins, tacks and other pointed or sharp objects. Do not try to fasten the blanket using pins or other metal objects.
-
To avoid burns, do not use for persons unable to move, for persons who are hypersensitive to heat, and for persons unable to react to overheating. Do not use for very small children (0-3 years of age). Children up to 3 years old are not able to react to overheating.
-
This appliance may be used by children aged 8 years and over and persons with reduced physical or mental abilities or lack of experience and knowledge, provided they are supervised or instructed in the safe use of the appliance and understand the potential hazards.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Notes :
- Use only with ED 8026 control unit (blankets ECG ED 8026)
- Use only with ED 14026 control unit (blankets ECG ED 14026)
- If the electric blanket is folded, crumpled, or used improperly, it may overheat and activate permanent protection. In this case, the blanket must be sent to the manufacturer for repair. Do not try to repair the blanket on your own.
- If the mains voltage is lower than the voltage recommended for powering the blanket, the temperature will rise only very slowly and its heating ability will be limited. This is not a malfunction of the electric blanket. Make sure that the blanket is powered by the recommended voltage.
- The indicator light and the electrical circuit of the blanket are connected in parallel. The malfunction of the indicator therefore does not affect the ability of the blanket to generate heat.
- Use only as a heated underpad under the body. Do not use as a blanket, for wrapping or in any other way.
Connect/disconnect controller
To connect the controller simply lift the locking tab with your finger and
plug in the connector. To disconnect the controller, first lift the tab with
your finger and pull out the controller connector. Do not disconnect the
controller by pulling on its cable and do not try to pull the connector by
force without lifting the locking tab. This could cause irreversible damage to
the connector.
Preparation
- Unfold the blanket on the bed and make sure it is not creased or folded.
- You can spread over the blanket only a thin cotton bed sheet. Do not cover it with a blanket or other cloth that could cause the blanket to overheat and reduce heat transfer.
- Place the controller so that it could be easily accessible. Make sure it is not hidden under a blanket, pillow or the like. Do not leave the controller near other heat sources to prevent its overheating and damage.
- Make sure the cord is positioned so that no one trips over it.
Setting basic temperature:
- Connect the power cord of the blanket in the electric outlet 220~240 V, 50/60 Hz. Move the switch on the controller in the position [2]. The light comes on and the electric blanket starts to warm up. The heating lasts about 30-60 minutes. You can then move the switch as needed in the position [1] for comfortable warmth when falling asleep or in the position [0] for complete shut-off of the heating (the control light goes off ). If you want to use the blanket continually the whole night, move the controller in the position [1].
- Dual control: In the double bed version, two people can operate the blanket independently according to their needs without affecting the settings.
- If you will no longer use the blanket, turn it off to the “0” position and unplug it.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
So that you use the heating blanket always safely, pay attention to the following instructions:
- Check regularly that the blanket is not crumpled or wrinkled.
- Prior to each use check the blanket for signs of wear or damage. Check the condition of the power cord and plugs, controller and blanket itself. If you are unsure whether the condition of the appliance allows its safe use, contact an authorized service center.
- The heating conductor in the electric blanket should be evenly distributed, without crossing and layering. Check by passing a hand over the blanket.
- Do not allow children to jump on the bed with the spread electric blanket. If this has already happened, check the blanket for damage.
- In case of accident or damage (fire, burning by a cigarette, unusual sounds or smells) disconnect the blanket from the power supply immediately.
Cleaning
Turn the control switch to the “0” position and disconnect it from the power
supply before each cleaning. Let it cool down and disconnect the controller.
Never immerse the controller or the power cord in water. Be careful not to get
them wet during cleaning.
To clean the blanket, place it on a flat surface and wipe it with a soft, damp
cloth with a mild detergent.
Do not use industrial solvents such as benzene, kerosene or similar solvents
for cleaning.
The blanket can also be machine washed. However, this will reduce its life.
Always disconnect the controller before washing. We recommended to place it in
a textile washing bag before washing. Use a small amount of detergent and set
the program to gentle washing with a maximum temperature of up to 40 °C.
Then allow the blanket to dry freely. Throw it over the clothes dryer or
clotheslines. Do not use clothes pegs, do not dry it in the sun.
Do not use hair dryers, etc. for drying, you could damage the blanket. Do not
try to speed up the drying by plugging the blanket into the mains!
Do not clean the blanket chemically, do not bleach it, dry in the laundry
dryer or iron it.
NOTICE : Before using it again or storing it make sure that the blanket
is completely dry.
Storing
Store the unused electric blanket in a dry place, packed in the packaging in
which you purchased it. Let the blanket cool down thoroughly before storing
it. To prevent damage, do not place heavy objects on the folded blanket.
Do not add chemicals against moths to the blanket.
Store it in a dry place.
