For this, the control must always be set to the minimum temperature. · This heated underblanket may be used by children over the age of 8 and by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental skills or a lack of experience or knowledge, provided that they are supervised and have been instructed on how to use the heated underblanket safely, and are fully aware of the consequent risks of use. · Children must not play with the heated underblanket. · Cleaning and user maintenance must not be performed by children unless supervised. · This heated underblanket is not designed for use in hospitals. · This heated underblanket is only intended for domestic/private use, not for commercial use. · Do not insert needles. · Do not use when folded or bunched up. · Do not use if wet. · 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. · This heated underblanket must only be connected to the mains voltage that is specified on the label. · The electrical and magnetic fields emitted by this heated underblanket may interfere with the function of a pacemaker. However, they are still well below the limits: electrical field strength: max. 5000 V/m, magnetic field strength: max. 80 A/m, magnetic flux density: max. 0.1 millitesla. Please therefore consult your doctor and the manufacturer of your pacemaker before using this heated underblanket. · Do not pull, twist or make sharp bends in the cables. · If cable and control are not positioned properly, there may be a risk of becoming entangled in, being strangled by, tripping over, or stepping on the cable and control of the heated underblanket. The user must ensure that excess lengths of cable, and cables in general, are safely routed. 4 · Please check this heated underblanket frequently for signs of wear and tear or damage. If any such signs are evident, if the heated underblanket 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 underblanket (including the accessories) yourself because faultless functionality can no longer be guaranteed thereafter.

Intended use CAUTION This heated underblanket is designed for warming beds, only. 4. Operation 4.1 Safety CAUTION · Your heated underblanket has been designed and fully tested to the European Safety Standards. It has been certified by the Intertek Testing and Certification Ltd. UK and shows the safety mark "BEAB Approved". · 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 underblanket 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's safety system. 5 4.2 Electrical safety Your heated underblanket has a UK plug. If your heated underblanket becomes damaged or worn, you should have the plug top replaced by a qualified electrician who understands how to carry out this repair safely. The plug needs a 3-amp fuse (BS1362 rated). CAUTION Make sure that the heated underblanket is spread out entirely flat and that it will not rumple up or crease when in use. · To operate the heated underblanket connect the control to the heated underblanket by plugging in the connector. · Then plug in the power plug into the mains outlet. 4.3 Putting into operation Our blankets are designed as underblankets only. They must be fitted to the bed between the mattress and the bed sheet. C 1. Leave space for the pillow and put the blanket on the mattress E with the connector at the pillow end, so the connector is face H down under the blanket. B 2 Pass tape `A' under the mattress, then up through the eyelet `B', down under the mattress and tie it tightly into the eyelet `C'. G 3 Pass the centre tape `D' under the mattress and tie it tightly into A the eyelet `E'. D 4 Pass tape `F' under the mattress, then up through the eyelet F `G', down under the mattress and tie it tightly into the eyelet `H'. NOTE: · When you tie the tape through the eyelets, make sure the heated underblanket is not stretched too tightly. The heated blanket should be held in position by the tie tapes. Do not use the heated blanket if it is folded or creased. · Once you have fitted the heated underblanket on the mattress, put your undersheet on the heated underblanket as usual so that the heated underblanket is between the mattress and sheet. · Attention: The electronic components in the controller will normally warm up slightly when the heated underblanket is being used. The controller should not lie on or be covered by blankets, pillows etc. 4.4 Switching on To switch on the heated underblanket, set the slider for ON/OFF and temperature settings to setting 1, 2 or 3. The temperature settings are illuminated when switched on. 4.5 Setting the temperature Setting 0: OFF Setting 1: minimum heat Setting 2: medium heat Setting 3: maximum heat NOTE: · The fastest way to warm up the heated underblanket is to initially set the highest temperature setting. · We strongly recommend switching on the heated underblanket approx. 30 minutes before going to bed and covering it with the quilt to prevent the warmth from escaping. 6 WARNING If the heated underblanket is being used over several hours, we recommend that you set the lowest temperature setting on the control to avoid the body overheating and thereby any potential burns to the skin or heat stroke. 4.6 Switching off To switch off the heated underblanket, set the slider for ON/OFF and temperature settings to the "0" (OFF) position. The temperature settings are then no longer illuminated. NOTE: If the heated underblanket is not used for several days, set the slider for ON/OFF and temperature settings to the "0" (OFF) position and remove the power plug from the socket. Then remove the control from the heated underblanket by disconnecting it at the connector. When removing the plug from the socket, first lift up the flap as shown in the picture to set the plug free. It is important that you don´t use the cable to pull them apart. 5. Cleaning and care WARNING Always remove the power plug from the mains outlet and remove the control from the heated underblanket by disconnecting it at the connector. Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock. CAUTION The control must never get in contact to water or other liquids. Otherwise the control may be damaged. · 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. · You can dry your underblanket with a tumble dryer on the lowest heat. CAUTION Note that the heated underblanket must not be dry-cleaned, wrung out or ironed. · 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 and drying. For its entire life, therefore, the heated underblanket should be washed and dryed not more than 5 times in a washing machine. · While the heated underblanket is still damp after washing and drying, shape it to its original form and size and place it flat over a clothes drying rack to dry. 7 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. 6. Storage When not in use we recommend to store the heated underblanket in its original packaging. For this purpose, disconnect the control from the heated 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. 7.
