Maintenance

Cleaning Instructions

The Imetec electric blanket is washable, but specific care instructions must be followed:

1. Disconnect Power: Always unplug the blanket from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
2. Detach Controller: Carefully disconnect the control unit from the blanket. The blanket must never be washed with the controller attached.
3. Washing: Hand wash the blanket using a mild liquid detergent in lukewarm water (around 40°C). Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
4. Drying: After washing, gently squeeze out excess water. Hang the blanket to air dry completely. Do NOT use a tumble dryer. Ensure the blanket is thoroughly dry before reconnecting the controller and using it again.
5. Frequency: It is recommended to wash the blanket approximately once a year, or as needed.

Storage

When not in use, especially during warmer months, store the blanket in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is clean and completely dry before folding and storing. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the folded blanket to prevent damage to the internal wiring.

Troubleshooting

• Blanket Not Heating:
  • Check if the power cord is securely plugged into the wall outlet.
  • Ensure the control unit is firmly connected to the blanket.
  • Verify that the power button on the controller has been pressed and a heat setting is selected.
• Controller Display Issues:
  • If the display is not working or showing an error, try disconnecting and reconnecting the controller to the blanket, then plug it back into the power outlet.
• Blanket Turns Off Unexpectedly:
  • This may indicate that the built-in safety system (Adapto Technology or EESS) has activated due to overheating or an electrical anomaly. Unplug the blanket, allow it to cool down for a few minutes, and then try operating it again. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
• Small Holes on the Blanket Surface:
  • The small holes you might observe on the blanket are air holes. These are intentionally designed by Imetec to facilitate air circulation within the blanket, preventing internal air pockets and maintaining a consistent, safe temperature by regulating internal heat. They are not defects.

User Tips

• Optimal Placement: When using the blanket, position it to cover your body from the shoulders down, rather than trying to cover your head. This ensures maximum warmth where it's needed most.
• Drying Thoroughly: After washing, it is crucial to ensure the blanket is completely dry before reconnecting the controller and plugging it in. Incomplete drying can pose a safety risk.
• Avoid Folding During Use: Do not use the electric blanket when it is folded or crumpled, as this can lead to localized overheating and potential damage.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check the blanket and power cord for any signs of wear, damage, or fraying. Discontinue use if any damage is found.
