2 | BEFORE FIRST USE

Before you use the electric underblanket for the first time, please do as follows: carefully unpack the electric underblanket and remove all the packaging material. Keep the material (plastic bags and cardboard) out of reach of children. Check the electric underblanket after unpacking for any damage, possible from transportation. Never switch the electric underblanket on when folded or compressed, wedged between objects and never make any sharp creases.

Do not place any artificial heatsources or heavy objects on the electric underblanket.

3 | SAFETY SYSTEM

This electric underblanket is intended for warming beds. The electric underblanket heats up best when it is switched on while it is covered with a quilt. The heating up time with the electric underblanket covered is approx. 30 minutes.

This underblanket can be used on both sides. This electric underblanket is fitted with the INVENTUM SAFETY SYSTEM (TSS). This electronic sensor technology prevents the entire surface of the electric underblanket from overheating by automatically switching off in the event of a fault. If the safety system switches off the electric underblanket automatically as a result of a fault, the indicator lamp is no longer illuminated even when the electric underblanket is switched on. Please note that, after a fault has occurred, the electric underblanket can no longer be used for safety reasons and must be sent to the service address indicated.

4 USE

Spread out the electric underblanket flat on your mattress so that the cable entrance is located approximately at shoulder height (see illustration).

Then secure your contour sheet as accustomed so that the electric underblanket is between your mattrass and the contour sheet. Make

sure that the electric underblanket is always spread out flat and does not get pushed together or wrinkle during use. Check its position when making the bed. The electric underblanket may only be switched on when it is spread out flat.

We recommend switching on the electric underblanket and covering it with the quilt for approx. 30 minutes before going to bed to prevent the heat from escaping. This electric underblanket may only be operated in conjunction with the switch type specified on the unit.

Attention: The electronic components in the switch will cause the switch to warm up slightly when the electric underblanket is being used. For this reason, the switch must never lie on the electric underblanket or be covered by blankets, pillows etc.

You will obtain the most rapid heating-up of the electric underblanket by setting the highest temperature level at the beginning. A lower setting can be selected later if required.
