the manufacturer of your pacemaker before using this product.

its service agent or similar qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

– never place any objects on it (e.g. suitcases or laundry basket),
– never place any heat source on it, such as a hot water bottle,
heating pad etc.
• When in use, the electronic components in the controller of the heated
underblanket make the controller slightly warm. The controller should
therefore never be covered or placed on the heated underblanket when

and has to be sent to the service address indicated.

switch-off time expires, the underblanket is no longer heated and the red indicator light starts flashing. To
heat the underblanket again, first set the switch to zero ‘0’ (off) for approx. 5 seconds and then select the
required temperature. If the heated underblanket is no longer used after timeout, it should be switched off
(setting ‘0’) or else disconnected from the mains.
