How safe are heated throws in daily use?
Beurer safety system (BSS)
Beurer heat pads and heated underblankets are fitted with overheating protection (BSS):
- Safety thanks to the device’s electronic overheating protection system
- Automatic switch-off in the event of a fault
Automatic switch-off for safe use
The automatic switch-off function on our heated throws is a convenient safety feature. After 3 hours, the temperature setting display will start to flash and the heat supply will stop. To start using the blanket again, simply turn it off and then on again. The automatic switch-off function provides protection if you forget to turn it off. If you intend on using the heated throw for several hours, we advise setting the lowest temperature setting on the control.
How do I clean my heated throws correctly?
Before washing it is important that you remove the mains plug from the socket and then pull the connector out of the heated blanket. The control must never come into contact with water or other liquids, as this may cause damage.
Set your washing machine to a particularly gentle cycle at 30°C and use a mild laundry detergent. To ensure the throw has a long life, it should not be washed too often. Instead, you can remove small marks by hand.
After washing, bring the throw to its original shape and preferably lay it flat on a clothes horse. In addition, the heated throw must not be wrung out, tumble dried, mangled, or ironed.
It is important that the heated blanket is fully dried before connecting it to the plug and before use. Failure to do so may result in damage to the electric blanket.
How do I ensure more heat when using the electric heated throws?
As a general rule, heated blankets release their heat in all directions – i.e. including into the room. To prevent the heat from escaping into the room, we recommend completely covering the throw with a normal blanket whilst it warms. Make sure that the blanket is completely covered. If the heated blanket is only partially covered, it may overheat in certain areas. In the worst case, the overheating triggers the Beurer safety system – the heated blanket would then be irreversibly damaged.
