The Sunbeam Dreamland Electric Blanket is a fitted electric blanket designed for various bed sizes, offering warmth and comfort with advanced features.

Function Description:

The Dreamland Electric Blanket provides adjustable warmth for beds, acting as an underblanket. It features multiple heat settings and a digital timer for automatic shut-off, allowing users to customize their sleeping environment. The blanket is designed to fit securely on the mattress, similar to a fitted sheet, and incorporates antibacterial treatment for enhanced hygiene. It's suitable for everyday use, including preheating the bed and all-night warmth.

Important Technical Specifications:

The electric blanket models covered by this user guide include:

BLD5021 Dreamland Fitted Single Bed
BLD5031 Dreamland Fitted King Single Bed
BLD5041 Dreamland Fitted Double Bed
BLD5051 Dreamland Fitted Queen Bed

For example, the Queen size (Q) blanket measures 153 cm x 200 cm. The blanket operates with a 9-heat setting control, allowing users to select from low, gentle heat (settings 1-4) for all-night use, medium heat (settings 5-7), or high heat (settings 8-9) for preheating. It includes a digital timer control with options for automatic shut-off after 3, 6, or 12 hours. The controls are detachable, which is essential for cleaning and storage. Double, Queen, and King size blankets come with dual control units, enabling individual comfort settings for two users. The blanket incorporates a safety overheat protection mechanism that automatically switches the blanket off in case of a fault. It is designed to be used with a 230-240V power outlet.

Usage Features:

Fitted Design: The blanket has elasticized sides, similar to a fitted sheet, ensuring a secure and smooth fit on the mattress. The heat pad is specifically designed to fit within the mattress edges, preventing folds or creases.
Easy Control: The illuminated controls feature an on/off slide switch and up/down arrow buttons for selecting heat settings. The selected heat and timer settings are displayed on an LCD screen.
Timer Functionality: The control defaults to a 3-hour timer setting when switched on. Users can cycle through 3, 6, or 12-hour options by pressing the timer button. Pressing the timer button during an active timer period will restart the timer for the newly selected duration.
Preheating: For first-time use or daily use, it is recommended to preheat the blanket on the maximum heat setting for two to three hours (first use) or up to two hours (daily use) before bedtime.
All-Night Use: Settings 1-4 are recommended for continuous or all-night use to provide low, gentle warmth.
Extra Foot Warmth: The blanket is designed to provide additional warmth to the feet, maintaining a comfortable temperature for the rest of the body.
Safety Precautions: Users are advised not to use the blanket on waterbeds, adjustable beds, or futons, and to ensure it is not moist or wet when switched on. It should not be used with pins, needles, or sharp objects. The power cord and controls must be kept outside the bed and away from external heating sources. It is not intended for use by infants, infirm persons, or persons insensitive to heat, nor by children under three years old due to their inability to react to overheating. Parents or guardians must preset controls for young children and adequately instruct them on safe operation. The blanket should be examined periodically for signs of wear or damage and returned to an authorized service agent if any are found. It must be kept smooth, flat, and properly secured on the mattress, avoiding folds, rucks, or creases.

Maintenance Features:

Machine Washable: All Dreamland electric blankets feature waterproof heating elements, making them fully immersible and safe for machine washing.
Detachable Controls: The controls can be easily unplugged from the blanket before cleaning or storage.
Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, the affected area can be sponged with a neutral wool detergent or mild soap flakes mixed with lukewarm water, then rinsed with clean water and compressed between towels to remove excess water.
Hand Washing: The blanket can be hand washed in lukewarm water with a neutral wool detergent or mild soap flakes. It should be soaked for five minutes, gently squeezed, rinsed thoroughly, and excess water drained without wringing.
Machine Washing Instructions: For machine washing, use a WOOL or DELICATES cycle with a neutral wool detergent or mild soap flakes, at a temperature below 40°C. High-speed or extra spin cycles should be avoided.
Drying: The blanket should be line dried across several lines of a clothesline, avoiding direct heat and pegs on wired areas. It should not be dried with a hairdryer or heater. For machine drying, tumble dry on a LOW setting for a maximum of 15 minutes, then smooth out creases and line dry until completely dry.
Storage: When not in use, the blanket should be rolled or folded loosely and stored in a blanket bag. Sharp creases and placing heavy items on top of the blanket during storage should be avoided.
Antibacterial Treatment: The polyester fibers incorporate an antibacterial treatment that inhibits the growth of bacteria and mould, ensuring a fresher and more hygienic blanket even with regular washing.
Periodic Inspection: It is recommended that a qualified engineer or registered person inspect the heated blanket once it passes its warranty period and every two years thereafter.
