WARNING
• Non-observance of the following notes may result in personal injury or
material damage (electric shock, skin burns, fire). The following safety
and hazard information is not only intended to protect your health and
the health of others, it should also protect the product. For this reason,
pay attention to these safety notes and include these instructions when
handing over the product to others.
• This heated underblanket must not be used by persons who are not
sensitive to heat or by other vulnerable persons who may not be able
to react to overheating (e.g. diabetics, people with skin alterations due
to illness or scarred tissue in the application area, after taking pain relief
medication or alcohol).
• This heated underblanket must not be used by very young children
(0-3 years old) as they are unable to respond to overheating.
• This heated underblanket can be used by children older than 3 and
younger than 8 years of age provided they are supervised. For this, the
control must always be set to the minimum temperature.
• This heated underblanket may be used by children over the age of 8
and by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental skills or a lack
of experience or knowledge, provided that they are supervised and
have been instructed on how to use the heated underblanket safely,
and are fully aware of the consequent risks of use.
• Children must not play with the heated underblanket.
• Cleaning and user maintenance must not be performed by children
unless supervised.

• The electrical and magnetic fields emitted by this heated underblanket
may interfere with the function of a pacemaker. However, they are still
well below the limits: electrical field strength: max. 5000V/m, magnetic
field strength: max. 80A/m, magnetic flux density: max. 0.1 millitesla.
Please therefore consult your doctor and the manufacturer of your
pacemaker before using this heated underblanket.
• Do not pull, twist or make sharp bends in the cables.
• If the cable and control of the heated underblanket are not positioned
properly, there may be a risk of becoming entangled in, being strangled
by, tripping over, or stepping on the cable and control. The user must
ensure that excess lengths of cable, and cables in general, are safely
routed.
• Please check this heated underblanket frequently for signs of wear
and tear or damage. If any such signs are evident, if the heated under-
blanket has been used incorrectly or if it no longer heats up, it must be
checked by the manufacturer before being switched on again.
• Under no circumstances should you open or repair the heated under
-
blanket (including the accessories) yourself because faultless function-
ality can no longer be guaranteed thereafter. Failure to observe this will
invalidate the warranty.
• If the mains connection cable of this heated underblanket is damaged,
it must be disposed of. If it cannot be removed, the heated underblan-
ket must be disposed of.
• When this heated underblanket is switched on:
– Do not place any sharp objects on it
– Do not place any heat sources, such as hot water bottles, heat
pads or similar, on it
• The electronic components in the control warm up when the heated
underblanket is in use. For this reason, the control must never be cov
-
ered or placed on the heated underblanket when it is in use.

ters: Operation, Cleaning and maintenance, Storage.
• If you should have any questions about using our devices, please

4. Operation
4.1 Safety
CAUTION
•
This heated underblanket is equipped with a SAFETY SYSTEM. This sensor technology prevents the
entire surface of the heated underblanket from overheating by automatically switching off the heated
underblanket in the event of a fault. If the safety system has switched off the heated underblanket,
the temperature setting is not illuminated any more even when the heated underblanket is switched
on.
•
Please note that the heated underblanket is not operable any more due to safety reasons in this
case and has to be sent to the service address indicated.
•
Do not connect the defective heated underblanket with another control of the same type. This would
trigger a permanent switch-off via the control safety system.
4.2 Initial use
• Spread out the heated underblanket flat onto your mattress starting at the foot end.
•
To operate the heated underblanket connect the control to the heated underblanket by plugging in the
connector.
•
Then plug in the supply plug into the mains outlet.
• Then put on your bedsheet in the usual manner so that the heated underblanket
is between your mattress and the bedsheet
CAUTION
M
ake sure that the heated underblanket is spread out entirely flat and that it will not rumple up or
crease when in use.
NOTE:
L
ie in comfort
I
f the plug-in connector at shoulder level bothers you, you
can rotate the electric underblanket by 180° so that the
plug-in connector lies at the foot of the bed (see illustra
-
tion). So that the switch is within comfortable reach of
your hand, Beurer offers a switch with a longer connection
cable (Item no. 108.611). This is available directly from
Beurer Customer Services.
4.3 Switching on
Set the ON/OFF slider (4) to the ON (I) position to switch on the heated underblanket (see Fig. switch). The
temperature settings will then light up.
4.4 Selecting the temperature setting
To increase the temperature, press the
button (6). To decrease the temperature, press the button (7).
After switching on the temperature setting is illuminated.
Setting 0: OFF
Setting 1: minimum heat
Setting 2-3: Individual heat
Setting 4: maximum heat
NOTE:
•
The quickest way to heat up the heated underblanket is to select the highest temperature setting
of the control, first.
•
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.

WARNING
If the heated underblanket is being used over several hours, we rec-
ommend that you set the lowest temperature setting on the control to
avoid the body overheating and thereby any potential burns to the skin
or heat stroke.
4.5 Automatic switch-back
NOTE:
T
his heated underblanket features an automatic switch-back for safety purposes. Temperature settings
4 and 3 are automatically switched to temperature setting 2 after 3 hours.
4.6 Automatic switch-off
This heated underblanket is equipped with an automatic switch-off. This turns off the heat supply 12 hours
after the heated underblanket is first switched on. This is indicated by a flashing temperature setting. In order
to reactivate the heated underblanket, the sliding switch (4) must initially be set to off (“0” position). After about
5 seconds it is possible to switch it on again. If the heated underblanket will not be used after timed switch-off,
it should be switched off (sliding switch to position “0”) and the mains plug removed from the mains socket.
4.7 Switching off
Set the ON/OFF slider (4) to the OFF (0) position to switch off the heated underblanket. After switching off
the temperature setting is not illuminated any more.
NOTE:
I
f the heated underblanket won’t be used for several days, switch it off (Slider to setting „0“/OFF) and
remove the supply plug from the mains outlet.
