Please take a little time to read this booklet before you use your blanket and keep it in a
safe place for future reference.

for ultimate comfort and all night warmth. It heats up your bed in just 10 minutes, and
you can select your perfect temperature from 6 heat settings. More heat is provided at the
bottom of the bed to keep your toes warm, and the auto shut off function switches off
the blanket after 9 hours.
Here at Lakeland, our award-winning family-owned business still offers the same excel-
lent quality, value for money and exceptional customer service as when we founded the
company back in the 1960s.
