To switch off the electric overblanket, slide the sliding switch for ON/OFF and temperature settings to the
OFF ( 0 ) position.
NOTE
If the electric overblanket is not being used for several days, slide the sliding switch for ON/OFF and
temperature settings to the OFF ( 0 ) position and remove the mains plug from the socket.
Then disconnect the controller from the electric overblanket by unplugging the plug-in coupling.
4.6 Automatic switch-off
This electric overblanket switches off automatically after 3 hours. Once the electric overblanket has switched
off, it is no longer heated and the indicator lamp flashes.

to the OFF ( 0 ) position for 5 seconds. After about 5 seconds it is possible to switch it on again.
5. Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING
Before cleaning, always remove the mains plug from the socket first. Then disconnect the controller from
the electric overblanket by unplugging the plug-in coupling. Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.
CAUTION
• The controller must never come into contact with water or other liquids, as this may cause damage.
To clean the controller, use a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use any chemical or abrasive cleaning agents.
Small marks on the electric 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 electric overblanket may not be chemically cleaned, wrung out, tumble dried,
put through a mangle or ironed.
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 manufacturer's instructions.
CAUTION
• Please note that frequent washing of the electric overblanket has a negative effect on the product.
The electric overblanket should therefore be washed in a washing machine a maximum of 5 times during its life.
Immediately after washing, reshape the electric 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 electric overblanket to the clothes horse. Failure to do
so may damage the electric overblanket.
• Do not reconnect the controller to the electric overblanket until the plug-in connector and electric
overblanket are completely dry. Failure to do so may damage the electric overblanket.
WARNING
• Never switch the electric overblanket on to dry it! Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.
