it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its customer service depart-

ment or a similarly qualified person to avoid any risk.

CAUTION

This electric overblanket is only designed to warm up the human body.

4. Operation

4.1 Safety

CAUTION

T

he electric overblanket is fitted with the SAFETY SYSTEM. This electronic sensor technology provides

protection against overheating across the entire surface of the electric overblanket with an automatic

switch-off if there is a fault.

P

lease note that, for safety reasons, the electric overblanket can no longer be operated after a fault

has occurred and must be sent to the specified service address.

4.2 Initial use

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

Then plug the mains plug into the socket.

4.3 Switching on

To switch the electric 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

WARNING

If the electric 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.

NOTE

The fastest way to warm up the electric overblanket is to initially set the highest temperature setting.

4.5 Switching off

To switch off the electric overblanket, slide the sliding switch for ON/OFF and temperature settings to the

OFF ( 0 ) position.

NOTE

If the electric 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.

4.6 Automatic switch-off

This electric overblanket switches off automatically after 3 hours. Once the electric overblanket has switched

off, it is no longer heated and the indicator lamp flashes.

12

To switch on the electric overblanket again, first set the sliding switch for ON/OFF and temperature settings

to the OFF ( 0 ) position for 5 seconds. After about 5 seconds it is possible to switch it on again.

5. Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING

Before cleaning, always remove the mains plug from the socket first. Otherwise there is a risk of electric

shock.

Then disconnect the controller from the electric overblanket by unplugging the plug-in coupling.

CAUTION

The controller must never come into contact with water or other liquids, as this may cause damage.

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

Small marks on the electric overblanket can be removed with a damp cloth or sponge and, if necessary, with

a little liquid detergent for delicate laundry.

CAUTION

P lease note that the electric overblanket may not be chemically cleaned, wrung out, tumble dried,

put through a mangle or ironed.

Set the washing machine to a particularly gentle wash cycle at 30°C (wool cycle).

Use a delicate laundry detergent and measure it out according to the manufacturers instructions.

CAUTION

Please note that frequent washing of the electric overblanket has a negative effect on the product.

The electric overblanket should therefore be washed in a washing machine a maximum of 5 times during its life.

Immediately after washing, reshape the electric overblanket to its original dimensions while it is still wet and

spread it out flat over a clothes horse to dry.

CAUTION

Do not use pegs or similar items to attach the electric overblanket to the clothes horse. Failure to do

so may damage the electric overblanket.

Do not reconnect the controller to the electric overblanket until the plug-in connector and electric

overblanket are completely dry. Failure to do so may damage the electric overblanket.

WARNING
