Important safety
instructions
The use of any electrical appliance
requires the following of basic common
sense safety rules.
Primarily there is danger of injury or death
and secondly the danger of damage to the
appliance. These are indicated in the text by
the following two conventions:
WARNING: Danger to the person!
IMPORTANT: Damage to the appliance!
In addition we offer the following
essential safety advice.
Care instructions
• Examine frequently for any signs of wear
or damage to the blanket, switch or cord.
In case of damage or misuse, please
return immediately following instructions
under servicing.
• During the summer, the blanket can be
used to air the mattress. To store, roll in a
towel and store in a dry place. Avoid
folding or creasing the blanket once
unpacked.
• Do not dry clean the blanket, follow
washing instructions on the label attached
to the blanket and the details that relate
to your blanket.
Personal safety
• Do not use with a helpless person, an
infant or a person insensitive to heat.
•Young children should be instructed on
how to operate the controls safely and
heat settings controlled by a parent or
guardian.
• Do not use a hot water bottle at the same
time as using the blanket.
Product safety
• Ensure the blanket is used in the manner
in which it is intended, either as an
overblanket or underblanket as
appropriate.
• If used on an adjustable bed, check the
blanket or cord cannot become trapped
or rucked.
• Ensure the product is correctly fitted to
the bed, following the instructions in this
booklet.
• Do not insert pins or any sharp objects
into the blanket.
• Do not tuck the heated part of material
under the mattress.
• Do not use if the blanket is wet.
•Avoid pressing creases or folds into the
blanket. Do not switch on if the blanket is

than the one supplied with this blanket.
• Do not coil or lay the lead on the blanket.

Electrical requirements
Check that the voltage on the rating
label of your appliance corresponds with
your house electricity supply which must be
A.C. (Alternating Current).
If the socket outlets in your home are not
suitable for the plug supplied with this
appliance, the plug should be removed and
the appropriate one fitted.
WARNING: The plug removed from
the mains lead, if severed, must be
destroyed as a plug with bared flexible
cord is hazardous if engaged into a live
socket outlet.
Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug
require changing, a 3 amp BS1362 fuse
must be fitted.
This appliance does not need to be
earthed. It is a double insulated product.
Before use
Before using this appliance ensure that
the voltage indicated on the product
corresponds with the mains voltage in your
home. If you are in any doubt about your
supply, ask your electrical dealer or local
electricity company.
WARNING: Do not attempt to use
the blanket with controls other than
those supplied with the unit as
referred to on the rating label attached
to the blanket.
Dual control models
Each side of the blanket has a
completely separate element and each is
supplied with its own independant mains
lead. A 13amp plug on each lead is
essential.
Do not connect both flexible cords to
one 13amp plug.
The two leads should preferably be
plugged into individual sockets. However, if
only one socket is accessible, then a dual
adaptor should be used.
WARNING: Only the electric blanket
should be connected to the dual
adaptor. If you are unsure, please
contact a qualified engineer.
It is quite normal for the switch to
become warm as the components encased
are part of the protection circuit.
Safeguard overheat
protection system
Activation
The system will remain dormant
indefinitely as long as the blanket is
operating in the normal temperature range.
If for any reason the blanket is operated in
an abnormal situation or condition which
would otherwise have induced a rapid
temperature rise high enough to constitute a
hazard, the OVERHEAT SYSTEM should
intervene by cutting off the supply current
before the temperature reaches the point at
which damage may occur.
Action in case of activation
In the event of the OVERHEAT SYSTEM
operating, the blanket will cease to function
and must be returned to the service
department address given in this leaflet.
WARNING: No attempt should be
made to repair the blanket or have it
repaired locally and the switch
supplied must never be replaced other
than by the manufacturers since the
specialised components are not
generally available.
A charge will be made for this service
but remember that the alternative would
have been a damaged blanket and bedding.
The fact that this blanket incorporates
the overheat system does not absolve the
user from observing these instructions.

Underblanket without
tie tapes
• Use only as an underblanket and do not
use above the occupant of the bed.
