Before using it on an adjustable bed, check that the heated under- blanket and the cables are not, for example, trapped in a hinge or bunched up.

This heated underblanket may only be used in conjunction with the control specified on the label.16

This heated underblanket must only be connected to the mains voltage that is specified on the label.

The electric and magnetic fields emitted by this electrical heated under- blanket may possibly interfere with the operation of pacemakers. How- ever, they are well below the permissible limits: electric field strength: maximum of 5,000 V/m, magnetic field strength: maximum of 80 A/m, magnetic flux density: maximum of 0.1 millitesla. Please therefore ask your doctor and the manufacturer of your pacemaker before using this product.

• Do not pull, twist or make sharp bends in the cables.

• If the cable and control of the heated underblanket are not positioned properly, there may be a risk of becoming entangled in, being stran

gled by, tripping over, or stepping on the cable and control. The user must ensure that excess lengths of cable, and cables in general, are safely routed.

Please check this heated underblanket frequently for signs of wear and tear or damage. If any such signs are evident, if the heated under- blanket has been used incorrectly or if it no longer heats up, it must be checked by the manufacturer before being switched on again.

• Under no circumstances should you open or repair the heated under- blanket (including the accessories) yourself because faultless function- ality can no longer be guaranteed thereafter. Failure to observe this will invalidate the warranty.

CAUTION This heated underblanket is designed for warming beds, only.17

• This heated underblanket is equipped with a SAFETY SYSTEM. This sensor technology prevents the entire surface of the heated underblanket from overheating by automatically switching off the heated underblanket in the event of a fault. If the SAFETY SYSTEM has switched off the heated underblanket, the temperature setting is not illuminated any more even when the heated under- blanket is switched on.

• Please note that the heated underblanket is not operable any more due to safety reasons in this case and has to be sent to the service address indicated.

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

4.2 Putting into operation

Spread out the heated underblanket flat onto your mattress starting at the foot end.

To operate the heated underblanket connect the Control to the heated underblanket by plugging in the connector.

• Then plug in the supply plug into the mains outlet.

Then put on your bedsheet in the usual manner so that the he- ated underblanket is between your mattress and the bedsheet CAUTION Make sure that the heated underblanket is spread out entirely flat and that it will not rumple up or crease when in use. Additional information UB 100 The area intended for the head cannot be heated. Guide the plug-in coupling plug through the slot on the side sec

tion [9] and then connect the Control to the electric underblanket by plugging together the plug-in coupling [8] (see figure). Then pull the side section over the sides of your mattress like a fitted sheet. The electric underblanket is designed to fit 90 x 200 cm as well as 100 x 200 cm mattresses. If the cable length is insufficient, you can order a longer power supply cord with the material number 108.070 from our specified Customer Service. Then fit your fitted sheet as usual with the electric underblanket positioned between your mattress and the fitted sheet.

Slide the ON/OFF switch [6] sideways [1] to the ON ( I ) position to switch on the electric underblanket. When switched on, the display [2] lights up and at first displays all the segments for approx. 2 seconds. After that, the following basic settings are displayed: Temperature setting for body area: 0 Temperature setting for foot area: 0 Automatic switch-off time: 1 h (= 1 hour)18 NOTE: The illuminance level drops after approx. 5 seconds so that your sleep is not disturbed during the night. NOTE: This electric underblanket has a rapid heating function, allowing for faster warming in the first 15 minutes. During this time, “Turbo” flashes on the display.

4.4 Selecting the temperature setting

Press the button [3] to select the temperature setting for the body area. Press the button [5] to select the temperature setting for the foot area. Level 0: off Level 1: minimum heat Level 2 – 8: individual heat Level 9: maximum heat NOTE:

• Switching sequence of the temperature settings: 0 – 9 – 8 – 7 – 6 – 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1 – 0 – 9 ...

• The quickest way to heat up the heated underblanket is to select the highest temperature setting of the Control, first.

We strongly recommend switching on the heated underblanket approx. 15 minutes before going to bed and covering it with the quilt to prevent the warmth from escaping. WARNING If the heated underblanket is used continuously (for several hours) it is recommended to use the lowest setting of the control to avoid overhe

NOTE: This electric underblanket features an automatic switch-back for safety purposes. Temperature settings 9, 8 and 7 are automatically switched to temperature setting 6 after 3 hours.

4.6 Selecting the automatic switch-off time

• Press the button to set the automatic switch-off time [4]. You can set the automatic switch-off time as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. or 12 hours. NOTE: Switching sequence of the automatic switch-off time: 1 h – 12 h – 11 h – 10 h – 9 h etc. 1 h – 12 h – 11 h etc. (time in hours). If the time remaining is under an hour it is shown in minutes (e.g. 59 min.)

• The electric underblanket is automatically switched off once the set switch-off time has elapsed. The following is then shown in the display: Temperature setting for body area: 0 Temperature setting for foot area: 0 Automatic switch-off time: "1 h"

• To switch on the electric underblanket again, press either the button to set the temperature setting of the body area (3) or of the foot area (5).

• If you do not want to use the electric underblanket beyond the selected switch-off time, slide the ON/OFF switch to the OFF ( 0 ) position to switch off the electric underblanket.19

Set the ON/OFF slider (4) to the OFF (0) position to switch off the electric underblanket. After switching off the temperature setting is not illuminated any more. NOTE: If the heated underblanket won’t be used for several days, switch it off (Slider to setting "0"/OFF) and remove the supply plug from the mains outlet.

Temperature settings 1, 2, 3 and 4 are particularly energy-efficient. If these temperature settings have been selected, the “ECO” symbol is shown in the display.

Press the “kWh” [7] button to display the current power consumption in kWh. The power consumed since the last switch-on is displayed. Due to the low power consumption in the “ECO” temperature settings, the displayed value (power consump- tion in kWh) takes a while to change. If both zones are set to temperature setting ’9’, it will take approx. 8 minutes for the display to change from 0.00 kWh to 0.01 kWh. NOTE: A healthy sleeping environment can be achieved by keeping the bedroom cool and pre-heating your bed shortly before going to bed. Lower heating costs for the bedroom also create further cost savings.

4.10 Anti-allergy temperature setting

Useful information In recent years, the number of people allergic to domestic dust has risen sharply. Typical symptoms of this allergy are irritated eyes, sneezing fits, coughing fits and shortness of breath in the early morning. These reactions are triggered by proteins in the excrement of the house dust mite. Mites are almost always pre- sent in warm and humid microclimates, as are often found in beds. They feed mainly on human skin scales and mildew and can be found in every house. Even with regular and thorough cleaning, dust and skin cells continuously build up.

• With the anti-allergy temperature setting, you can fight back against the mite population and create a dry, mildew-free bed environment.

• For this, set the body and foot area temperatures to level 9 and the automatic switch-off time to 12 hours. “Anti-Allergy” is shown in the display.

In order to prevent heat being lost, the electric underblanket must be completely covered by the duvet for this process.

This process dries out your mattress and thereby creates a hostile microclimate for the mites. We re- commend regular use of the anti-allergy temperature setting. Ideally, the electric underblanket should be operated for the full 12 hours.

5. Cleaning and care

WARNING Before cleaning the electric underblanket always disconnect the mains plug from the socket and unplug the plug-in coupling [8] and thereby the Control [1] from the electric underblanket. Otherwise there is a risk of an electric shock. CAUTION The Control must never come into contact with water or other liquids, as this may cause damage. CONTROL20

• To clean the Control, use a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use any chemical or abrasive cleaning agents.

To remove stains from the heated underblanket use a damp cloth and, if necessary, a mild cleaning agent. Do not use cleaning agents containing solvent or scouring agents. CAUTION Note that the heated underblanket must not be dry-cleaned, wrung out, machine dried or ironed. Otherwise the heated underblanket may be damaged.

• The heated underblanket is machine washable.

• Set the washing machine to a particularly gentle, 30 °C cycle (woolens programme). Use a mild detergent with dosage according to the manufacturer’s instructions. CAUTION Note that the heated underblanket will suffer from too frequent washing. For its entire life, therefore, the heated underblanket should be washed not more than 5 times in a washing machine.

• While the heated underblanket is still damp after washing, shape it to its original form and size and place it flat over a clothes drying rack to dry. CAUTION

Do not attach the heated underblanket to washing lines with washing pegs or the like. Otherwise the heated underblanket may be damaged.

• Only reconnect the Control to the heated underblanket after the connector and the heated under

blanket are completely dry. Otherwise the heated underblanket may be damaged. WARNING Under no circumstances switch on the heated underblanket to dry it. Otherwise there is a risk of an electric shock.

When not in use we recommend to store the heated underblanket in its original packaging. For this purpose, disconnect the Control from the electric underblanket by unplugging the plug-in coupling. CAUTION

Allow the heated underblanket to cool down before folding. Otherwise the heated underblanket may be damaged.

• Do not crease the heated underblanket by placing items on top of it during storage.
