USE

POSITIONING THE HEATED MATTRESS COVER

WARNING!
The heated mattress cover must only be placed between the mattress and the flat sheet and not on top of persons in bed.

IMPORTANT:
The heated mattress cover only works efficiently if it is positioned inside the bed and covered with a bed sheet, covers or quilt.

• Place the heated mattress cover (5) directly onto the mattress with the connector side facing downwards at the top part of the mattress.
• Fit the heated mattress cover to the mattress turning the edges of the skirt under the mattress. Make sure the heated mattress cover is always spread out smoothly and that there are no creases.
• Make the bed, laying the first sheet on top of the heated mattress cover. Place the second sheet and the normal blanket or duvet on top.

CONNECTING THE CONTROL UNIT

• Place the connector of the control unit through the triangle opening that you will find on the side of the elasticated skirt.
• Insert the control unit connector (2) in the heated mattress cover connector (1) to connect the control unit to the heated mattress cover.
• For the dual controls models, repeat this for the other side.
• Run the control unit cable along the floor next to the bed. Do not squash the control unit cable between the mattress and the bed frame.
• Insert the plug of the control unit cable in the mains socket (3). Every time the plug is inserted, the control unit automatically performs a self-diagnosis, lighting up all LEDs (10, 11) in a clockwise sequence for around two seconds.

SWITCHING ON AND SELECTING THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE
To ensure the best possible well-being, the heated mattress cover is designed to warm only the part of the bed from the feet area to just before the pillow.
The control unit can be set to the following temperature levels:

• 6: Fast pre-heat temperature
• 5-4: Medium pre-heat temperature
• 3-1: Continuous or all-night use
• To switch the heated mattress cover on press the ON/OFF button (7). Every time the appliance is turned on, the control unit automatically checks the appliance is working correctly, lighting up all LEDs (10, 11) in a clockwise sequence. Following this check, the control unit automatically sets to temperature 6 and the auto shut off timer to 1 hour.
• For fast pre-heat, use maximum temperature 6. If you like a medium pre-heat temperature, then you can select 4-5 by pressing the temperature selector button (8) until the LED for the required temperature lights up (11). The higher the number selected, the higher the temperature.

IMPORTANT:
The time needed for the heated mattress cover to warm up will depend on the room temperature. The temperature of the heated mattress cover must be evaluated by lying in the bed rather than just feeling it by hand.

CONTINUOUS OR ALL-NIGHT USE

For continuous or all-night use of the appliance set the control unit to temperature levels from 1 to 3 only
To set the control unit to the continuous use temperature, press the temperature selector button (8) until LEDs 1, 2 or 3 light up (11).

• DO NOT get into bed with the control unit set to a higher temperature than recommended for continuous use.

If the appliance is slept on with the controls set to a higher temperature the user may suffer skin burns or heat stroke.

WARNING! DO NOT place the control unit under the pillow or under the sheets when in use.

AUTO SHUT-OFF TIMER
The heated mattress cover has an automatic shut-off timer of 1, 3 or 9 hours. When switched on, the control unit automatically sets itself to 1 hour on the auto shut off timer and LED 1h lights up in green (10). To set a different auto shut-off timer, press the timer selector button (6) and select the desired timer. Each time the auto shut-off timer is reset, the timer starts from zero. When the time has elapsed, the heated mattress cover switches off and the standby LED (9) lights up in blue.

NOTE:
Should the power supply accidentally be interrupted during use, when the control unit is switched back on, it will maintain the temperature and timer settings in use previously and the timer counter will start from zero.

NOTE:
So that the display light does not bother users during the night, the light intensity reduces around 15 seconds after any button is last pressed. Similarly, the standby LED becomes less bright 15 seconds after it is activated.

SWITCHING OFF
Switch the heated mattress cover off by pressing the ON/OFF button (7) and remove the plug from the socket (3).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The heated mattress cover is washable. Check the washing symbols on the label to ensure it is washed correctly.

WARNING!
Always disconnect the appliance from the mains and disconnect the control connector from the underblanket before cleaning or performing maintenance.

BEFORE WASHING

• Take the plug of the control unit cable out of the mains socket (3).
• Press the grip levers at the sides of the control unit connector (2) to remove the control unit connector from the heated mattress cover connector (1).

MACHINE WASHING

• The heated mattress cover can be cleaned in the washing machine at 30°C, on a delicate cycle.
• Use only the delicate cycle for spinning. DO NOT make an additional spinning cycle.

DRYING IN THE TUMBLE DRYER

• The heated mattress cover can be dried in a tumble dryer on a delicate cycle at a moderate temperature, but at the end of the drying cycle it must be air-dried to allow it to dry completely.
• Remove the heated mattress cover from the tumble dryer at the end of the drying cycle and reshape it to its original size.
• Allow the heated mattress cover to fully air-dry before using it again.

DRYING IN THE OPEN AIR

• When the heated mattress cover is spread out to dry on a clothes airer, it must be stretched so the original size is more or less maintained. This is best done while the eated mattress cover is still damp, working alternately on the opposite corners and pulling one side at a time. You might have to repeat this procedure several times until the heated mattress cover is completely dry.
  WARNING! Spread out the appliance without using clothes pegs to avoid damaging it, and leave it to fully dry spread out on a drying rack that is not exposed to the sun.

• Only use the heated mattress cover when it’s thoroughly dry.

• Do not iron the heated mattress cover.

• WARNING! Examine the appliance against the light to make sure the cables are not bent or twisted.

• WARNING! If the appliance does not resume its original size or if problems arise with the internal cables contact an authorised service center for a safety check.

STORING THE HEATED MATTRESS COVER

When not in use, store as follows:

• if the heated mattress cover has been washed, wait until it’s completely dry;
• fold it like a normal blanket;
• you are advised to store the heated mattress cover in the original packaging it was supplied in;
• when storing the appliance, allow it to cool down before folding;
• put the heated mattress cover away in a dry place

Examine the appliance and its supply cord frequently for signs of wear or damage. lf there are such signs or in the case of malfunction, contact an authorized technical service center.

DISPOSAL

The packaging of the appliance is made of recyclable materials. Dispose of the packaging in accordance with environmental protection regulations. Pursuant to Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), the crossed bin symbol on the appliance or its packaging indicates that the appliance must be disposed of separately from other waste at the end of its useful life.

The user must therefore take the appliance to an appropriate recycling center for electrical and electronic equipment. Alternatively, instead of handling the disposal, the user can hand over the appliance to the retailer when a new, equivalent one is purchased. The user can hand over electronic products measuring less than 25 cm to retailers of electronic products having a sales area of at least 400 m2 free of charge and with no obligation to buy. Proper waste sorting prior to sending the equipment no longer used for recycling, processing, and disposal in a manner that respects the environment contributes towards avoiding negative impacts on the environment and on health and promotes the reuse and/or recycling of the equipment’s material.

SUPPORT AND WARRANTY

The appliance is guaranteed for a period of two years from the date of delivery. The warranty period starts from the date indicated on the receipt/invoice (if clearly legible), unless the purchaser can demonstrate that it was delivered at a later date. In the case of a product defect that existed prior to the delivery date, its repair or replacement is guaranteed without any cost, unless one of the two remedies is disproportionate with respect to the other. The purchaser is required to report the lack of conformity to an authorised Service Centre within two months of the discovery of the defect.

The warranty does not cover all the parts that are defective as a result of the following:

• damage from transport or accidental drops,
• incorrect installation or inadequate electrical system,
• repairs or alterations performed by unauthorised personnel,
• insufficient or improper maintenance and cleaning,
• products and/or product parts subject to wear and/or consumables, including the reduced operating time of the batteries (if installed) due to usage or age,
• non-observance of the operating instructions for the appliance, negligent or careless usage,
• cable twisted and/or bent excessively,
• cable pulled or torn,
• heating panel bent during use, crumpled and/or torn,
• incorrect washing (e.g. centrifuge, wringing, with control unit enabled, etc.),
• obvious burn marks from external sources (cigarettes etc.),
• bent back on itself.

The above list is provided as a mere example, and is not complete, as this warranty does not apply to any of the circumstances that cannot be connected to appliance manufacturing defects. The warranty is also excluded in the case of improper use of the appliance and in case of professional use. The manufacturer declines all liability for any damage that can be caused directly or indirectly to people, property or pets as a result of the failure to observe all the instructions indicated in the “Instructions and warnings booklet” regarding appliance installation, use and maintenance.

This does not apply to the seller’s contractual warranty actions.

Service mode
The appliance may only be repaired by an authorised service centre. If under warranty, the defective appliance must be sent to the Service Centre together with proof of purchase that indicates the date of purchase or delivery.
