during washing and that during drying the cord must be
positioned to ensure that water does not flow into the switch

Securing the electric under-blanket to your mattress
• Do not switch the blanket on while it is still in the box.
• The heat may cause fire.
• Do not place the electric blanket under flammable objects, especially paper or
curtains.
• Lay the electric blanket on a relatively hard and non-adjustable mattress. The blanket
must lie flat from your shoulders to your feet while you sleep. The electric blanket can
be spread out on either side. For easy operation place the side with the switch at
the level of your shoulders. The four loops at the corners of the electric blanket can
be used to attach it to the mattress. This will prevent the blanket moving or creasing.
• Caution: a creased part is likely to cause high temperatures, which is very dangerous.
• To keep the electric blanket smooth and clean and to prevent wear, cover the
blanket before use with a bed sheet. (Do not cover the blanket with another blanket
or cotton bedspread. These will not allow the heat from the blanket through.)
• When making the bed, check regularly that the electric under-blanket is still flat on
the mattress. The cord must not run over or under any heated parts of the blanket.
Use of the blanket:
The electric blanket is equipped with a 4-position switch:
3 – maximum temperature;
2 – medium temperature;
1 – minimum temperature;
0– off
• Make sure the switch on the control unit (A) is in position '0 '(lowest) before connect-
ing the blanket to the mains.
• Make sure the cord set from the blanket is firmly attached to the blanket itself.
• Insert the plug of the electric blanket (C) into the connector of the electric blanket
(D).
• Insert the plug into the socket (220-240 V AC/50 Hz).
• For rapid heating select position 3 and after a few minutes the blanket will be pleas-
antly warm.
• After use, unplug the blanket from the mains socket.
Take note: The mains socket must be nearby and accessible.
Note
To avoid health problems or overexerting your body's own temperature regulation, it
is recommended that you only use setting 3 for short periods at a time. Setting 1 is the
optimum setting for use during an entire night of up to 12 hours.
