Use
14
Use
What you need to know
The double electric blanket has two different heating zones:
• Upper body
• Calf/foot area
• Upper body and calf/foot area together
For a long-term use, select the lowest heat level.
There are three different heating levels for each heating zone:
Upper body
Level 1: approx. 35 °C
Level 2: approx. 45 °C
Level 3: approx. 55 °C
Calf/foot area
Level 1: approx. 40 °C
Level 2: approx. 50 °C
Level 3: approx. 60 °C
All functions and settings are accessed using the control unit.
During initial use, unusual odours may occur. These are harmless or reduce over
time.
Use of control unit
• The right row of LEDs is the heating function for the
upper body.
• The left row of LEDs is the heating function for the
calf/foot area.
• If both rows of LEDs light up, the heating functions
for the upper body and calf/foot area are active.
• The number of illuminated LEDs shows the
selected heating level (seen from the bottom):
1 LED = approx. 35 °C or approx. 40 °C,
2 LED = approx. 45 °C or approx. 50 °C
3 LED = approx. 55 °C or approx. 60 °C.

Use
15
Switch on
− Press the ON/OFF button 6 to switch on the double electric blanket.
Both of the bottom lamps light up. The heating function for the upper body and
the calf/foot area is switched on at the lowest level (default setting).
Select heat level and heating zones
Functional principle
When pressing with the TEMP 5 button, the following applies:
• briefly pressed: Select temperature
• pressed for a long time (approx. 4 seconds): Select heating zones/confirm
selection
• The left LEDs flash, if the upper heating zone is selected by pressing TEMP for a
long time. If no button is pressed, the left LEDs start to flash approx. 9 seconds
later. Only the right LEDs are active for adjustment by default.
After switching on
− By pressing TEMP repeatedly, select the heating level for the upper body.
The LEDs indicate which heating level you have currently set.
− If you keep TEMP pressed for several seconds, instead of briefly pressing it, the
left bottom LED flashes.
− By pressing TEMP repeatedly, you can now set the temperature for the calf/foot
area.
− If you keep the TEMP button pressed for a long time, the control unit switches to
the adjustment option for the right LEDs. You can select this by briefly pressing
the TEMP button.
− If you have set the left heating level (flashing LEDs) and wait briefly (9x flashes),
the setting is stored for the calf/foot area. Then, you can adjust the temperature
range for the upper part of the body, as standard.
Switching off
1. Press the ON/OFF button 6 to switch off blanket. at a specific time.
2. Pull out the power cable in order to completely disconnect the double electric
blanket from the power supply.
The blanket switches itself off automatically after 3 hours. If you do
not want the double electric blanket to switch back on, remove the
power plug from the socket.
