3. Operation
3.1 Safety
This heated underblanket is equipped with the SAFETY SYSTEM. This electronic sensor technology
prevents the entire surface of the heated underblanket from overheating by automatically switching
off in the event of a fault. If the safety system switches off the heated underblanket automatically as
a result of a fault, the indicator lamp is no longer illuminated even when the heated underblanket is
switched on. Please note that, after a fault has occurred, the heated underblanket can no longer be
used for safety reasons and must be sent to the service address indicated.

3.2 Putting into operation

Starting at the foot end, spread out the heated underblanket flat onto your mattress. Then put on
your bedsheet in the usual manner so that the heated underblanket is between your mattress and
the bedsheet. Make sure that the heated underblanket is spread out entirely flat and that it will not
rumple up or crease when in use.
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.
