•Do not allow the blanket heating wires to lie over the edge of the mattress.

•Do not place your power cord or connector under any stress or strain. Never jam or bend the power cord over a hard surface such as a bed frame.

The power cord should always remain free from obstructions.

•Do not use pins, needles, safety pins or other sharp items on your electric blanket.

•Do not dry clean your electric blanket.

•Use only as an underblanket.

•Examine periodically for signs of wear or damage on the blanket cords. If there are such signs, or the blanket has been misused, return it to an authorised service agent for inspection.

Sunbeam’s SleepPerfect®

Technology

Temperature sensitive, fast-heating elements

All Sunbeam Sleep Perfect electric blankets feature our exclusive SleepPerfect® Technology. This technology uses a unique heating element that adjusts the power supplied to your electric blanket to maintain your selected setting.

A built-in microprocessor continually senses changes to your body temperature affecting the blankets' temperature and adjusts the power input accordingly, to provide a constant level of comfort.

On double, queen, king and super king size electric blankets each side adjusts

independently to maintain individual comfort levels. So you’ll always sleep soundly, even on the coldest nights.

This unique element also heats to your selected temperature in just 10 minutes, so there’s no need for hours of preheating before bedtime.

Nine levels of safety protection

Nine levels of safety protection make Sunbeam's Sleep Perfect range safer than any other electric blanket. A built-in microprocessor senses any rise in

temperature and reduces the power supply to prevent overheating.

In the unlikely event of a fault, the microprocessor senses the abnormal operation and automatically cuts off power to the blanket.

A second microprocessor acts as a back up should the first fail.

For additional safety protection, all Sleep Perfect electric blankets contain a thermal back up fuse that is independent of the blanket control. It detects any abnormal temperature variations in the heating element and automatically switches the blanket off to prevent overheating.
