Sunbeam is very safety conscious when
designing and manufacturing consumer products,
but it is essential that the product user also
exercise care when using an electrical appliance.
Listed below are precautions which are essential
for the safe use of an electrical appliance:
• Read carefully and save all the instructions
provided with an appliance.
• Always turn the power off at the power outlet
before you insert or remove a plug. Remove
by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.
• Turn the power off and remove the plug
when the appliance is not in use and
before cleaning.
• Do not use your appliance with an extension
cord unless this cord has been checked
and tested by a qualified technician or
service person.
• Always use your appliance from a power
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked
on the appliance.
• Close supervision is necessary when your
appliance is being used by children or infirm
persons.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
• Never leave an appliance unattended while
in use.
• Do not use an appliance for any purpose
other than its intended use.
• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas
flame, electric element or on a heated oven.
Do not place on top of any other appliance.
• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang
over the edge of a table or bench top or touch
any hot surface.
• Do not operate any electrical appliance with
a damaged cord or after the appliance has
been damaged in any manner. If damage is
suspected, return the appliance to the nearest
Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for examination, repair or adjustment.
• For additional protection, Sunbeam
recommend the use of a residual current
device (RCD) with a tripping current not
exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit
supplying power to your appliances.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water
or any other liquid unless recommended.
• Appliances are not intended to be operated
by means of an external timer or separate
remote control system.
If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance,
please visit www.sunbeam.com.au or contact the Sunbeam Consumer Service Line.
Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.

Sunbeam’s SleepPerfect®
Technology
Temperature sensitive, fast-heating elements
All Sunbeam Feel Perfect electric throws
feature our exclusive SleepPerfect
technology. This technology uses a unique
heating element that adjusts the heat level of
your electric throw to maintain your selected
setting.
A built-in microprocessor continually senses
changes in room and body temperature
and adjusts the power input accordingly,
to provide a constant level of comfort.
®
Nine levels of safety protection
Nine levels of total safety protection make
Sunbeam's Feel Perfect range safer than any
other electric throw. A built-in microprocessor
constantly senses the resistance of the
heating wire and adjusts the power input
accordingly. It 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 throw.
The unique flexible heating element allows
the fabric to drape around you, enabling the
heated throw to be used on the lounge or
your favourite arm chair.
This unique element also heats up to reach
your selected temperature in just 10 minutes,
so there’s no need for hours of preheating.
A second microprocessor acts as a back up
should the first fail.
For additional safety protection, all Feel
Perfect electric throw rugs contain a thermal
back up fuse that is independent of the
throw rug control. It detects any abnormal
temperature variations in the heating element
and automatically switches the throw off to
prevent overheating.

Using your heated throw
Using your heated throw
Your heated throw can be used on the lounge
or in your favourite chair, providing cosy
comfort wherever you need it. It can even
be used on futons, adjustable beds and
waterbeds.
Connecting the control
Check that the On/Off switch located on the
back of the control is set to off.
With the control set to the off position, insert
the control connector into the socket, making
sure it is firmly clicked into position. Plug
the control into a 230-240V power outlet and
turn the power on.
Note: ensure that the control is connected to
the heated throw before inserting the plug
into the power outlet. Connecting the power
before attaching the control to the throw
rug will replicate a power interruption and
activate the safety system, preventing the
throw from heating.
Caution: keep the control away from heating
sources such as heaters and lamps. Do not
cover the control.
Using your heated throw
Your heated throw is supplied with a 6 heat
control. Press the temperature button to
toggle through each heat setting.
1 – 2 Low, gentle heat
3 – 4 Medium heat
5 – 6 High heat, for preheating only
Use the high heat settings to preheat the
throw only. Do not use your heated throw on
these settings for more than 30 minutes.

Troubleshooting
Should your heated throw fail to heat
1. Check that the On/Off switch located on
the back of the control is set to the On
position.
2. Check that the control is properly
connected to the heated throw and clicked
securely into position. If you find the
control connector plug is not properly fitted
to the heated throw, switch the power off
at the power outlet, securely attach the
control connector plug to the heated throw,
and then switch the power back on.
3. Check that the power cord is connected
to the power outlet and the power is
switched on.
4. Check that the safety auto off feature
hasn't been activated. The safety auto off
feature turns off the throw after 3 hours
for peace of mind and energy savings.
Simply press the Power/ Standby button
to reactivate.

Care and cleaning
This Feel Perfect throw features waterproof
heating elements, making them fully
immersible and safe to wash by hand
or machine.
Before cleaning your throw, ensure that the
control is turned off, and that the control is
then unplugged from the throw.
Spot cleaning
Sponge the affected area using a neutral
wool detergent or mild soap flakes mixed
with lukewarm water. Sponge twice with
clean water to remove detergent. Remove
excess water by compressing the wet area
between two towels.
Hand washing
Wash the throw in lukewarm water with a
neutral wool detergent or mild soap flakes.
Soak for five minutes, then gently squeeze
the soapy water through the fabric. Rinse
thoroughly in clean, lukewarm water then
remove excess water by compressing between
two towels. Do not wring.
Machine washing
Take your throw to a commercial laundry or
wash in a domestic washing machine (size
permitting). Wash on WOOL or DELICATES
cycle with a neutral wool detergent or mild
soap flakes, below 40°C. Do not use high
speed or extra spin cycles.
Line drying
Drape the throw across several lines
of your clothesline. Do not use pegs on the
wired areas. Do not dry with a hairdryer
or heater. Ensure that the throw and control
sockets are completely dry before using
again.
Machine drying
Tumble dry your throw on LOW setting for
15 minutes MAXIMUM. Smooth the throw by
gently pulling any creases out of the fabric.
Line dry to ensure the throw and control
sockets are completely dry before use. Do not
dry with a hairdryer or heater.
Storing your throw
Roll or fold your throw loosely and store in
a blanket bag or the bag it was supplied in.
