Operation

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 for 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.

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 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.

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.

Setting the temperature

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

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.

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.

Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING

Always remove the supply plug from the mains outlet and remove the control from the heated underblanket by disconnecting it at the connector. Otherwise, there is a risk of an 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 cleaning agents containing solvents or scouring agents.
To remove stains from the heated underblanket, use a damp cloth and, if necessary, a mild cleaning agent.

Storage

When not in use, we recommend storing the heated underblanket in its original packaging. For this purpose, disconnect the control from the electric underblanket by unplugging the plug-in coupling.

Troubleshooting Beurer Heated Underblanket UB 53 / UB 56 XXL Common Issues

Encountering problems with your Beurer Heated Underblanket UB 53-UB 56 XXL? Start by checking connections: ensure controllers are securely plugged into the blanket and mains outlet.
