Safety system Note: The electric underblanket is fitted with a safety system. Its electronic sensor system prevents the electric underblanket from overheating over its full area by switching it off automatically in the event of a fault. If the safety system switches the electric underblanket off automatically due to a fault, then the function indicator

ceases to illuminate, even if the electric underblanket is switched on. Please note that, for safety reasons, the electric underblanket must not be used in the event of a fault and must be sent to the service centre address given below.50 GB Special characteristics / Preparations for use Special characteristics This electric underblanket has been provided with an especially soft and hygienic soft nonwoven fabric.

RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE

PRODUCT AND / OR OTHER

PROPERTY! Please be sure – the plug-in connector and the cable do not get pinched on the bedframe. – the cable does not get wedged between the bedframe and the mattress. – the cable does not get severely kinked. Otherwise the plug-in connector and the cable could be damaged. Then place the bottom sheet as usual over the electric underblanket, so that the electric underblanket lies between the mattress and the bottom sheet. Ensure that the electric underblanket is com- pletely flat and that it does not become drawn together or folded during use. Before use on an adjustable bed, verify the electric underblanket and the cables will not be pinched in the hinges, for example, or pushed together. Switch the electric underblanket on approxi- mately 30 minutes before going to bed and cover it with the top sheet and other bedding. By doing this you will keep all the heat in. Switching on / off / Selecting the temperature Switching on: Using the temperature setting switch

, set the temperature to setting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 to switch on the electric under- blanket. The function indicator

illuminates. Switching off: Using the temperature setting switch

, set the temperature to setting 0 to switch off the electric underblanket. The function indicator

ceases to illuminate. Selecting the temperature: This electric underblanket has a rapid heat-up feature. Set the control unit to the highest tem- perature setting (setting 6). This will cause the electric underblanket to warm up quickly. When operat- ing the electric underblanket for several hours, we recommend set- ting the control unit to the lowest temperature to prevent the body from overheating, potentially result- ing in burns to the skin or heat stroke. Temperature levels Using the temperature setting switch

, set the temperature to the desired temperature setting (see Fig. A). Setting 0: Off Setting 1: Minimum heat Settings 2–5: Customised heat Setting 6: Maximum heat The foot zone is the warmest part of the electric underblanket.51 GB Preparations for use / Cleaning and care Note: This electric underblanket has overheating protection. After a period of approx. 3 hours at temperature settings 5 or 6, the electric underblanket automatically switches down to setting 4. Selecting the automatic switch-off time Using the switch-off time setting switch

, set the desired switch-off time. The switch-off time can be set to 1, 3, 6 or 12 hours. After the expiry of the set switch-off time, the electric underblanket no longer provides heat and the function indicator

starts to flash. To heat up the electric underblanket again, first set the temperature setting switch

to setting 0 and then choose the desired temperature setting. If the electric underblanket is no longer being used after the timer expires: – switch off the electric underblanket (setting 0), – unplug from the socket, – disconnect the plug-in connection

, thus the control unit

, from the electric underblanket. Cleaning and care
