IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS RETAIN FOR FUTURE USE

KEEP CAREFULLY IN CASE IT IS NEEDED!

This electric underblanket is designed to be used for many years if it is properly used. Read the instruction carefully to prevent damage or danger caused by incorrect use. Keep this instruction manual at an easy-to-access location so you can

4D DWF® Technology (please see fig. C)

This electric underblanket with additional foot warmer utilizes WELLCARE’s recent and the most innovative technology – 4D DWF®. While this technology pioneers in the flexible heating industry, its production process is also the state of the art. Our physical living environment consists of three dimensions, width, length, and depth; hence, the term “3D”. As Wellcare introduces to you the 4D DWF® technology, the “temperature” brought to you by dynamic flow of warmth is the definition of the fourth dimension. 4D DWF® employs concepts of breathing system which creates full-body heat circulation for heat to disperse evenly, thoroughly, and quickly. The heat is generated by heating elements, builds up and gathers around several hundred uniquely designed circular holes. Through these holes, the heat flows bi-directionally to create a gentle heat flow and the thermal energy can flow rapidly to warm up human bodies.
There are many benefits of this innovative technology :

Better breathability
Rapid heating
Higher temperature
Uniquely designed holes to provide 360° warmth circulation
Greater heat distributing area
Effective heat transmission
Strands of warmth flow retain air moisture
Warmth kept at a constant temperature
Energy saving
