[SanEmilio]

Maintaining your IMETEC R1502 Heated Underblanket properly ensures both its longevity and your safety. Here's a step-by-step guide on washing and drying your heated blanket:

Before Washing:

1. Always unplug the control unit cable from the electrical outlet.
2. Detach the control unit connector from the underblanket connector by pressing the grip levers on the sides of the control unit connector.

Machine Washing:

1. You can machine wash the underblanket at 30°C using a delicate cycle.
2. Use the delicate cycle only for spinning. Avoid additional spinning cycles.

Tumble Drying:

1. Tumble dry your underblanket on a delicate cycle, but ensure it's fully air-dried afterward.
2. Use a moderate temperature setting for the tumble dryer.
3. At the end of the drying cycle, remove the underblanket and reshape it to its original size.
4. Allow the underblanket to completely air dry before its next use.

Air Drying:

1. When air-drying on a clothes airer, stretch the underblanket to maintain its original size, working on opposite corners alternately.
2. Repeat this stretching process as needed until the blanket is completely dry.
3. Dry the blanket flat without using pegs to avoid damage. Keep it out of direct sunlight.
4. Only use the underblanket when it's completely dry.
5. Do not iron the underblanket.

Additional Advice:

• Inspect the underblanket against the light to ensure the cables aren't bent or twisted.
• If the underblanket doesn't return to its original shape or if you notice any issues with the internal cables, contact an authorized service center for a safety check.
