Properly cleaning and maintaining your IMETEC R1502 heated underblanket is key to ensuring its longevity and safe use. Here’s a detailed guide based on the instruction manual:

Before Washing:

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

Machine Washing:

1. The underblanket can be machine-washed at 30°C on a delicate cycle.
2. Use only the delicate cycle for spinning; avoid additional spin cycles.

Drying in a Tumble Dryer:

1. You can tumble dry the underblanket on a delicate cycle.
2. At the end of the drying cycle, air-dry the underblanket completely.
3. Dry at a moderate temperature.
4. Remove the underblanket and reshape it to its original size.
5. Ensure it is fully air-dried before using again.

Air Drying:

1. When air-drying, stretch the underblanket to maintain its original shape while it’s still damp. Work on opposite corners.
2. Repeat this stretching until completely dry.
3. Dry the blanket flat on a clothes airer, away from direct sunlight, and without using pegs.
4. Only use the underblanket when it’s completely dry.
5. Do not iron the underblanket.

Additional Advice:

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