5. Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING
Always remove the supply plug from the mains outlet and remove the control from the heated under-
blanket by disconnecting it at the connector. Otherwise there is a risk of an electric shock.
CAUTION
The control must never come into contact with water or other liquids, as this may cause damage.
• To clean the control, use a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning agents containing solvent or scouring
agents.
• To remove stains from the heated underblanket use a damp cloth and, if necessary, a mild cleaning agent.
CAUTION
Note that the heated underblanket must not be dry-cleaned, wrung out, machine dried or ironed.
Otherwise the heated underblanket may be damaged.
• 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.
For its entire life, therefore, the heated underblanket should be washed not more than 5 times in a
washing machine.
• While the heated underblanket is still damp after washing, shape it to its original form and size and place
it flat over a clothes drying rack to dry.
WARNING
• 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 electric 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.
