USE

Please Note!

■ The heated underblanket must be completely spread out flat when it is switched on. Only use on mattresses with suitable dimensions. Do not use on mattresses which are too small so that no creases form. Do not turn over under the mattress.
■ Only connect to a properly installed plug socket. The plug socket must also be readily accessible after connection so that the connection to the mains can quickly be isolated. The mains voltage must match the rating plate of the control unit.
■ Make sure that the connecting cable does not present a trip hazard.
■ Do not place the connecting cable and the control unit on the switched-on heated underblanket and do not cover it to prevent these components from overheating.

1. If the control unit is not connected, insert the plug of the control unit into the socket on the heated underblanket (Picture B). It must engage.
2. Spread out the heated underblanket on the mattress. The control unit should be located at the top end so

EN

that it is easily accessible and does not slip under the duvet.

1. Just like with a fitted sheet, place the elastic cord under the mattress to fix the heated underblanket in place (Picture C, D).
2. Place a sheet and if necessary a mattress protector on the heated underblanket.
3. Connect the mains plug to a plug socket.

We recommend switching on the device on a high heat level approx. half an hour before going to bed to preheat the bed. Reduce the temperature when you are lying in bed.

1. To switch on the device, press the ON / OFF button on the control unit. The display lights up and shows the activated heat level 1. There are 9 heat levels:

1: 20^ C
2: 24^ C
3: 28^ C
4: 31°C
5: 34^ C
6: 37^ C
7: 40^ C
8: 43°C
9: 50°C

1. To increase the temperature, keep pressing the °C + button until the heat level you want is shown on the display. Use the °C - button to reduce the temperature if necessary.
2. Use the T +/- buttons to set the operating time in hours.

When the set time elapses, the heat supply switches off automatically.

Once the operating time has been set, the display switches automatically to the heat level display.

1. To switch off manually, press the ON/OFF button.
2. Pull the mains plug out of the plug socket when the device is not in use.

■ Only ever wash the heated underblanket by hand! Do not clean it in a washing machine or dry-clean it.
■ Do not use fabric softener!
■ Do not iron! Do not bleach!
■ Only ever allow the heated underblanket to dry in the air. Do not place it in a tumble dryer, put it on a radiator, dry it with a hair dryer or similar object, or switch it on to dry it!
■ Do not use any sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or cleaning pads!

• Wash the heated underblanket (without the connecting cable!) by hand in lukewarm water with a little mild detergent.
• Place it down flat on a surface to dry. Allow the device to dry completely before using it or storing it away.
• Wipe down the control unit and the connecting cable with a damp cloth if necessary. Then dry with a soft cloth.

TROUBLESHOOTING

It takes a little while for the heated underblanket to get warm. If it is still not warm half an hour after it has been switched on, check whether ...

... the plug of the control unit has been inserted in the socket of the device correctly.
... the mains plug is inserted in the plug socket.
... the plug socket is defective. Try another plug socket.

If the problem cannot be solved with the steps listed, contact the customer service department. Do not attempt to repair an electrical device yourself!

It is possible that the overheating protection has been triggered. This can happen if the heated underblanket is not used correctly (e.g. in a folded condition) and there is a build-up of heat. In this case, the heated underblanket is damaged, and can no longer be used.
