2 | introduction
Over the past several years the number of people allergic
to house dust and dust mites has increased dramatically.
Irritation of the eyers, attacks of sneezing and coughing
and shortness of breath in the early morning hours are
typical symptoms of this type of allergy. these reactions
are triggered by the proteins in the excrement of the
dust mite. Mites are virtually ever-present in a moist,
warm micro-climate, as often predominates in beds. they
primarily feed on human skin scales and molds that can
be found in every household. Even with regular, thorough
cleaning, dust and skin particales constantly accumulate.
What preventative measures can you take?
you should avoid any contact with dust mites if possible.
Our breathing, machine-washable anti-allergenic
underblanket helps you do this. this combination of
specially coated underblanket and contour sheet is
equipped with the following components:
ACTIGARD® finish
The surface with an ACTIGARD® finish prevents mites
from multiplying and protects against their allergens. In
addition, aCtIgaRD® also reduces the formation of mold
and unpleasant odors caused by bacteria and fungus.

Mite insulation layer and mite-proof bed border
the mite insulation layer, a pUR membrane integrated
directly under the cotton surface and the mite-proof bed
border reduce your contact to the allergy-causing dust
mites and their excrement. In addition, this special finish
also helps reduce mites by cutting them off from their
supply of food.
Heat
You can specifically fight mite populations that already
exist with our heat underblanket. the temperature you
produce by setting the switch to level 6 (anti-allergy
level) of the heat underblanket dries your mattrass, and
therefore creates a 'mite-hostile' micro-climate on the
mattress surface. We recommend you use the anti-allergy
level regularly. Ideally, the heat underblanket should be
operated for several hours. the automatic switch-off time
of 12 hours is especially well-suited for this purpose. to
prevent the heat from escaping, the heat underblanket
should be completely covered during this process.
3 | Before first use
Before you use the underblanket for the first time, please
do as follows: carefully unpack the underblanket and
remove all the packaging material. Keep the material
(plastic bags and cardboard) out of reach of children.
Check the underblanket after unpacking for any damage,
possible from transportation. never switch the electric
underblanket on when folded or compressed, wedged
between objects and never make any sharp creases.
Do not place any artificial heatsources or heavy objects
on the electric underblanket.
4 | safety system
this electric underblanket is intended for warming
beds. the electric underblanket heats up best when it is
switched on while it is covered with a quilt. the heating
up time with the electric underblanket covered is approx.
15 minutes.
This electric underblanket is fitted with the INVENTUM
SafEty SyStEM (tSS). this electronic sensor technology
prevents the entire surface of the electric underblanket
from overheating by automatically switching off in the
event of a fault. If the safety system switches off the
electric underblanket automatically as a result of a fault,
the indicator lamp is no longer illuminated even when
the electric underblanket is switched on. please note
that, after a fault has occurred, the electric underblanket
can no longer be used for safety reasons and must be sent
to the service address indicated.
