storing. Your blanket can remain on the bed
all year round as a comfortable under-

store until winter. If you wish to remove the

or fold it loosely and store in a blanket bag
or the bag it was supplied in. Avoid pressing
sharp creases into the blanket.

FITTING YOUR GOLDAIR FITTED ELECTRIC BLANKET

the blanket with controls is at the top end of the bed. See Fig 3.
Once the blanket is in the correct position fit the skirt over the mattress.
Connect the control units into the socket's on the blanket and plug into a power point and turn on.
The cord and control switches must be kept outside the bed and away from external heating
sources, such as heaters or bedside lamps.
