Safe Operation Guide

• Fit the blanket securely on the mattress with the skirt.
• Use this blanket as an under blanket only. Not recommended for futons or similar folding bedding systems.
• When not in use, pack the blanket in its original packaging for best protection and store in a cool, clean and dry location. Avoid pressing sharp creases into the blanket. Store the blanket only after it has fully cooled down.
• When storing, fold neatly but not tightly (or roll) in the original packaging without sharp bends in the heating element and store where no other objects will be placed on top of it. Do not crease the blanket by placing items on top of it during storage.

Warning! The blanket should not be used on an adjustable bed.

Warning! The blanket must be fitted securely to the mattress with the fitted skirt.

Warning! The cord and control must be outside the bedding at all times and away from other heat sources such as heating and lamps.

Warning! Do not use folded, rucked, creased or when damp.

Warning! Use HIGH setting to pre heat the bed 1 hour before use only. Do not sleep with the control set to the high setting. It is highly recommended that the blanket be set to a minimum Low heat if used overnight or for continuous use.

Caution: First Time Use. For first time use it is recommended that the blanket be set on HIGH for 2 hours before sleeping on the bed. This will assist in drying any moisture out of the mattress. Ignore any initial odour that may occur with first time use.

Warning! Do not sleep with the controller set to HIGH. Use HIGH setting only to pre heat the bed then reduce the heat setting to minimum LOW setting overnight or preferably switched OFF for safety.

Warning! Remember to switch the blanket controller to “OFF” at the end of use and disconnect from mains power. Do not leave on indefinitely. There may be a risk of fire.

Warning! For added safety it is recommended that this blanket be used with a residual current safety device (safety switch) with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA. If unsure, please consult a qualified electrician.
