Before first use
Before using your electric blanket for the
first time, we recommend that you switch
your blanket to the maximum heat setting
for two to three hours before bedtime.
This will evaporate the moisture in the
mattress, leaving you with a dry, healthy bed.
Everyday use
With normal bedding, your electric blanket
may require up to two hours of preheating on
the highest setting before bedtime. Sunbeam
recommends that you use only settings 1, 2,
3 or 4 for all-night use.
Using your electric blanket (continued)
Care and cleaning
All Dreamland electric blankets feature
waterproof heating elements, making them
fully immersible and safe to wash by hand
or machine.
Before cleaning your electric blanket, ensure
that the controls are unplugged from the
blanket.
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 blanket 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 drain excess water from the blanket.
Do not wring.
Machine washing
Take your electric blanket to a commercial
laundry or wash in a domestic washing
machine (svpermitting). 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 blanket across several lines of
your clothesline, and try to avoid direct heat.
Do not use pegs on the wired areas. Do not
dry with a hairdryer or heater. Ensure that the
blanket and control sockets are completely
dry before using again.
Machine drying
Tumble dry your blanket on LOW setting for
15 minutes MAXIMUM. Smooth the blanket
by gently pulling any creases out of the
fabric. Line dry to ensure the blanket and
control sockets are completely dry before use.
Do not dry with a hairdryer or heater.
Storing your blanket
If you wish to remove the blanket from your
bed when not in use, roll or fold it loosely
and store in a blanket bag. Avoid pressing
sharp creases into the blanket.
Do not place heavy items on top of your
electric blanket when storing.
