Usage Features:

• Installation:
  • Place the electric blanket onto the mattress with the controller(s) at the head end, towards the foot end of the bed.
  • The control switches should be positioned below the electric blanket at the head end.
  • Unroll the tie tapes and pass them under the bed as shown in the diagrams (Figures 1-6 in the manual) to firmly secure the blanket to the mattress with knots.
  • Ensure heating wires do not extend under pillows or hang over the sides.
  • The power cord must be routed to the head of the bed to prevent it from being sat on or rolled on.
  • Avoid trapping, wrapping, or folding cords between bed slats, mattresses, springs, or against walls, headboards, or bed frames to prevent damage.
• Pre-heating:
  • The blanket needs to be unfolded and laid flat before switching on.
  • For first use, it is recommended to switch the blanket to the maximum setting for two to three hours before bedtime.
  • For everyday use, 15 minutes of preheating is typically required before bedtime.
  • Always reduce to the desired heat setting 15 minutes before getting into bed.
  • Crucially, the blanket must be switched OFF prior to sleeping.
• Heat Control:
  • The control features a rotary switch with settings:
    • 0: OFF
    • 1: Low, Gentle Heat
    • 2: Medium Heat
    • 3: High Heat
• Safety Precautions:
  • Do not use if there are visible signs of damage.
  • Do not use with a coiled cord set, as this can cause heat build-up.
  • Do not use heavy or dense over blankets, as they may lead to overheating.
  • Do not pinch, flex, or expose the heating wire.
  • Do not place the power cord under carpet or cover with rugs or furniture.
  • Do not use on a bed used by infants, incapacitated persons, paraplegics, quadriplegics, diabetics, or any person insensitive to heat or vulnerable persons unable to react to overheating.
  • Not for medical use in hospitals.
  • Do not use on a damp mattress or water bed.
  • Do not use on an adjustable bed.
  • Do not use any pins, needles, safety pins, or other sharp items on the blanket.
  • Keep all pets away from the blanket.
  • Never use the blanket to dry clothes.
  • Do not tuck in the blanket, as this may cause overheating or fire.
  • Only use the control provided by the manufacturer.
  • Do not unplug by pulling the power cord; always turn off the power at the outlet and grasp the plug.
  • Never sleep with the blanket on in a heat setting.
  • The blanket must not be powered on when folded; ensure it is laid flat without kinks or overlaps.
  • Children under the age of 3 are not to use this appliance. Young children over 3 should only use it if controls are pre-set by a parent/guardian or if they are adequately instructed.
  • Avoid creating sharp creases during storage.
  • The appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device (e.g., timer) or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility, to avoid inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out.
  • A "tingling sensation" (electric field effect/EMF) may be experienced by some users; this is normal and not an electric shock.

  • Always unplug the appliance when not in use.
  • Carry out regular checks of the supply cord for damage.
