Using Your Snugasabug® Tie-Down
Electric Blanket

Before First Use

Remove any promotional material
and packaging from the electric
blanket.

Securing Your Tie-Down
Electric Blanket

Place the electric blanket on the
mattress towards the foot of the bed.
Leave sufficient room for the pillow
and ensure the control leads are near
the head of the bed. Remove tags
from tie tapes. Pass the middle tie
tape under the middle of the mattress
and through the middle loop on the
opposite side. Tie tightly.

Pass end tape under the bottom
corner of the mattress and through
the end loop, then down under
the opposite bottom corner of the
mattress and through the bottom side
loop. Tie tape firmly.

Repeat procedure for the tape at the
top end of the mattress. The electric
blanket should now be firmly taped to
the mattress as shown in Fig 3.

Turning Your Tie-Down
Electric Blanket On

Ensure the electric blanket controller
is positioned in the ‘OFF’ position
indicated by a ‘0’.

Plug the cord into a 230V or 240V
power outlet and switch the power on.

Using Your Snugasabug® Tie-Down
Electric Blanket continued

To turn the electric blanket off, slide
the switch to either the furthest
upward or downward position, both
these positions are marked with ‘0’.
The ‘ON’ light will turn off to indicate
that the power has been turned off.

NOTE: We recommend that
on initial use the electric
blanket controller is set on heat
temperature ‘1’ for 3 hours to
dry out any moisture which
may have been accumulated
in the mattress. Repeat this
process every few months to
maintain a dry, healthy bed.

You may notice an odour when using
the electric blanket for the first time,
due to the insulation material. This
is harmless and will subside quickly.
It is recommended that you do not
sleep on the electric blanket when it
is switched on. Should you choose to
leave your blanket on all night; setting
1 can be used.

Setting the Heat Temperature

Adjust the heat temperature by
sliding the switch to select the desired
temperature setting between 1 and 3.

The three settings allow you to choose
the right balance of heat depending
on your personal requirements. The
numbers on the electric blanket
controller correspond to the following
temperatures:

0 = No heat
1 = Low heat (for low, gentle heat or

all night use)
2 = Medium heat
3 = High heat (recommended for

preheating only)

An audible click will sound when
selecting a temperature setting.
The ‘ON’ light will also illuminate to
indicate that the electric blanket is
on and heating. Additional heating
selections can be made by sliding
the switch to the desired temperature
setting (between 1-3).

Care and Cleaning

Do not dry clean. Do not iron. Use only the following instructions:

Spot Cleaning

Sponge the affected area using
a luke warm neutral detergent or
mild soapy solution. Follow this with
a sponging using a clean water
solution. Remove any excess water by
compressing the wet area between
absorbent towels.

Hand Washing

Immerse only the electric blanket in a
luke warm neutral detergent or mild
soapy solution.

CAUTION: Do not allow
the controller or its
connection points to
come in contact with
any liquid.

Soak for five minutes, remove from
the solution, and gently squeeze the
solution through the electric blanket.

Rinse only the blanket thoroughly,
in clean luke warm water, gently
squeeze and drain the excess water
from the electric blanket.

CAUTION: Do not wring
the electric blanket.

Drying

Drape the electric blanket across a
clothes line and drip dry. DO NOT use
pegs to secure the electric blanket in
position. DO NOT dry with a hair dryer
or heater.

IMPORTANT: Ensure
the controls are in a
position that will not
allow dripping water to
fall onto any part of the
controller.

Storage

When not in use, pack the electric
blanket in its original packaging for
best protection and store in a cool,
clean and dry location. Avoid pressing
sharp creases into the blanket and
store where no objects will be placed
upon it.
