fitted to the bed, following the
instructions in this booklet.
• Do not insert pins or any sharp
objects into the blanket.
• Do not tuck the heated part of

ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
Check that the voltage on the
rating label of your appliance
corresponds with your house
electricity supply which must be
A.C. (Alternating Current).
If the socket outlets in your
home are not suitable for the
plug supplied with this
appliance, the plug should be
removed and the appropriate
one fitted.
Warning: The plug removed
from the mains lead, if
severed, must be destroyed
as a plug with bared flexible
cord is hazardous if
engaged into a live socket
outlet.
Should the fuse in the 13 amp
plug require changing, a 3 amp
BS1362 fuse must be fitted.
This appliance does not need to
be earthed. It is a double
insulated product.

BEFORE USE
Before using this appliance
ensure that the voltage indicated
on the product corresponds
with the mains voltage in your
home. If you are in any doubt
about your supply, ask your
electrical dealer or local
electricity company.
WARNING: Do not
attempt to use the
blanket with controls
other than those
supplied with the unit as
referred to on the rating
label attached to the
blanket.
Dual control models
On double dual models users
are able to control their own
side of the bed with individual
controls, tailoring independent
temperatures to independent
needs.
Each side of the blanket has a
completely separate element
and each is supplied with its
own independent mains lead. A
13amp plug on each lead is
essential.
Do not connect both flexible
cords to one 13amp plug.
The two leads should preferably
be plugged into individual
sockets. However, if only one
socket is accessible, then a
multi adaptor should be used.
WARNING: If you are unsure
about electrical
connections please contact
a qualified engineer.
It is quite normal for the switch
to become warm as the
components encased are part
of the protection circuit.
SAFEGUARD
OVERHEAT
PROTECTION
SYSTEM
Activation
The system will remain dormant
indefinitely as long as the
blanket is operating in the
normal temperature range. If for
any reason the blanket is
operated in an abnormal
situation or condition which
would otherwise have induced a
rapid temperature rise high
enough to constitute a hazard
the OVERHEAT SYSTEM should
intervene by cutting off the
supply current before the
temperature reaches the point at
which damage may occur.
It is normal for the lead from the
blanket to the switch to become
warm as this is part of the
heater protection circuit
extended to the switch.
In the event of the OVERHEAT
SYSTEM operating, the blanket
will cease to function.
WARNING: No attempt
should be made to repair
the blanket or have it
repaired locally and the
switch supplied must
never be replaced since
the specialised
components are not
generally available.
The fact that this blanket
incorporates the overheat
system does not absolve the
user from observing these
instructions.
