5. Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING
Before cleaning, always remove the mains plug from the socket first. Then disconnect the control from
the heated overblanket by unplugging the plug-in coupling. Otherwise there is a risk of 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 any chemical or abrasive cleaning agents.
• Small marks on the heated overblanket can be removed with a damp cloth or sponge and, if necessary,
with a little liquid detergent for delicate laundry.
CAUTION
Please note that the heated overblanket may not be chemically cleaned, wrung out, tumble dried, put
through a mangle or ironed.
• This heated overblanket is machine-washable.
• Set the washing machine to a particularly gentle wash cycle at 30 °C (wool cycle). Use a delicate laundry
detergent and measure it out according to the manufacturers instructions.
CAUTION
Please note that frequent washing of the heated overblanket has a negative effect on the product.
The heated overblanket should therefore be washed in a washing machine a maximum of 5 times
during its life.
• Immediately after washing, reshape the heated overblanket to its original dimensions while it is still wet
and spread it out flat over a clothes horse to dry.
CAUTION
• Do not use pegs or similar items to attach the heated overblanket to the clothes horse. Failure to
do so may damage the heated overblanket.
• Do not reconnect the control to the heated overblanket until the plug-in connector and electric
overblanket are completely dry. Failure to do so may damage the heated overblanket.
WARNING
Never switch the heated overblanket on to dry it! Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.
6. Storage
If you do not plan to use the heated overblanket for a long period of time, we recommend that you store it in
the original packaging. For this purpose, disconnect the control from the heated overblanket by unplugging
the plug-in coupling.
CAUTION
•
Allow the heated overblanket to cool down before folding. Otherwise
the heated overblanket may be damaged.
•
Do not crease the heated overblanket by placing items on top of it
during storage.
