when the appliance is not in use and before
cleaning.

Safety Precautions for your

• Do not use your electric blanket on or under a
waterbed.
• Do not use on an adjustable bed or futon.
• Do not switch the blanket on if moist or wet.
• 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.
• Each day check that the electric blanket is
smooth, flat and properly secured on the
mattress. Do not use if the blanket is folded,
rucked or creased.
• Only use your electric blanket with the controls
supplied or marked equivalent.
• Do not use with infants, infirm persons, or
persons insensitive to heat.
• Parents or guardians must preset the controls
for young children, unless the child has been
adequately instructed on how to operate the
control safely.
• Children under the age of three are not to use
this appliance due to their inability to react to
overheating.
• Turn the power off and remove the plug when the
appliance is not in use and before cleaning.
• This electric blanket is not intended for use in
hospitals.
• Should your appliance suffer a thermal or fuse
link rupture (normally identified when the
blanket stops heating) please return it to the
manufacturer or agent for repair or replacement.
• When storing the appliance, allow it to cool down
before folding.
• Do not crease the appliance by placing items on
top of it during storage.
• Heat settings 1-3 (for blankets with 9 heat
control) and 1-5 (for blankets with 6 heat
control) are for continuous or all night use. If
this appliance is slept on with the controls set to
a higher temperature, the user may suffer skin
burns or heat stroke.
Important instructions – retain for

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 changes to your body temperature
affecting the blankets' temperature and
adjusts the power input accordingly, to
provide a constant level of comfort.
®
Nine levels of safety protection
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.
On double, queen and 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.
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.
