The heated overblanket is fitted with the SAFETY SYSTEM. This electronic sensor technology provides protection against overheating across the entire surface of the heated overblanket with an automatic switch-off if there is a fault.

• Please note that, for safety reasons, the heated overblanket can no longer be operated after a fault has occurred and must be sent to the specified service address.

Do not connect the defective heated overblanket with another controller of the same type. This would trigger a permanent switch-off via the controller safety system.

• First, connect the controller to the heated overblanket by inserting the plug-in coupling.

• Then plug the mains plug into the socket.

To switch the heated overblanket on, set the sliding switch for ON/OFF and temperature settings to setting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. When it is switched on, the indicator lamp (4) lights up.

4.4 Setting the temperature

Level 0: OFF Level 1: minimum heat Setting 2 - 5: individual heat setting Level 6: maximum heat NOTE The fastest way to warm up the heated overblanket is to initially set the highest temperature setting. WARNING If the heated overblanket is being used over several hours, we recom

mend that you set the lowest temperature setting on the controller to avoid overheating the person using the blanket.

After about 5 seconds it is possible to switch it on again.

To switch off the heated overblanket, slide the sliding switch for ON/OFF and temperature settings to the OFF ( 0 ) position. NOTE

If the heated overblanket is not being used for several days, slide the sliding switch for ON/OFF and temperature settings to the OFF ( 0 ) position and remove the mains plug from the socket.

• Then disconnect the controller from the heated overblanket by unplugging the plug-in coupling.15
