how to fit your electric blanket
To make sure your electric blanket works properly and retains heat efficiently, it must
be fitted securely to the mattress – so it can’t move around or crease – then covered
with a fitted or flat sheet. Please follow the fitting instructions carefully.
■ Remove your fitted or flat sheet.
■ Open the electric blanket out fully and lay it flat on the bare mattress.
■ Position the blanket so the mains lead is at the pillow end of the bed.
■ The blanket isn’t as long as your mattress – pull it down the bed so the area beneath
your pillows remains uncovered, as shown in pic. A.
■ Use the support ties to secure the blanket to your mattress, passing them
underneath it and tying tightly – also see pic. A
■ When the blanket is fitted snugly – but not too tightly – to the mattress, connect
the mains lead to the electric blanket’s socket (see pic. B). If you need to detach the
mains lead from the blanket, just lift the flap on the blanket’s socket and pull gently.
■ Cover the electric blanket with a fitted or flat sheet – it’s ready to go!
Please check your electric blanket regularly, to make sure it’s still fitting snugly and
without creases, and that the mains lead is still tight in the socket.
