• When storing the blanket, allow it to cool down before folding.
Fold neatly but not tightly (or rolled) without sharp bends in
the heating elements and store where no other heavy objects
will be placed upon it.
• The blanket should not be used on an adjustable bed or chair.
However, if the blanket is used on an adjustable bed or chair,
check that the blanket and cord do not become trapped or
rucked (creased or bunched up), for example, in hinges.
• The blanket is not to be used by very young children (0-3
years). Children under the age of three are not to use this
appliance due to their inability to react to overheating.

of three unless the controls have been preset by a parent or
guardian, or unless the child has been adequately instructed
on how to operate the controls safely.
• This blanket is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• This blanket must not be used by persons insensitive to heat
and other very vulnerable persons who are unable to react to
overheating.

BEFORE FIRST USE
Turn off the power and remove the plug from the power source
• To fit the controller simply hold the socket on the blanket
with one hand and push the controller plug all the way until it
clicks in. There are grooves to use as a guide.
• To remove the controller, hold the corner of the blanket and
pull the controller plug directly out. Do not pull the controller
cable.
• Do not fold, roll or kink the cable. Allow the cable to hang
freely.
• Ensure the cable is not pulled so tight that it bends hard at the
blanket connector end.
• NOTE: Ensure that the electric blanket is sized to suit your
mattress i.e. queen sized electric blanket must be used on a
queen sized mattress.
• Do not use a single bed blanket on a Double, Queen or King
size mattress.
• The blanket top must not hang over the edges of the
mattress.
• Remove all packaging parts before initial operation.
• When the blanket is used for the first time, it can smell of
plastic, but this disappears after a short time.
• Use the appliance as an under blanket only.
• Note: Your electric blanket must be placed directly onto the
mattress. If using a mattress protector, this goes over the
electric blanket.
CONNECTING THE CONTROLLER

USING THE CONTROLLER
IMPORTANT: Only use the blanket with detachable controller/s
model BLV-C24.
Do not use any other controller for this blanket.
Heat Settings:
• 1-2 = Low heat 35-40°C (suitable for continuous use)
• 3-4 = Medium heat 45-50°C
• 5-6 = High heat 55-60°C (recommended for preheating only)
• Press the Power button to turn the blanket on.
• To increase the required heat setting, simple press the “+”
until you see the desired heat setting on the LED display.
• To decrease the required heat setting, simple press the “-”
until you see the desired heat setting on the LED display.
• Press the Power button on the controller to turn off the
blanket.
• TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE BLANKET WHEN NOT IN USE.
• Keep the controller away from external heat sources. i.e.
heater, fireplace etc.
When using the heated throw, some people may be susceptible to
a tingling sensation when alone or when touching someone else
using the blanket.
This ‘tingling’ feeling is known as an ‘electric field effect’ and is
occasionally known to happen across all makes and brands of
blankets. It is caused by the current flowing through the element
creating an Electromagnetic Field (EMF). Some people are more
susceptible to feeling this EMF tingling sensation than others. This
is no cause for concern and is in no way an electric shock.
ELECTRICAL FIELD EFFECT

9
Note: Your electric blanket must be placed directly onto the
mattress. If using a mattress protector, this goes over the electric
blanket.
IMPORTANT: Place the blanket onto the mattress with the
controller connection/s at the HEAD END of the bed.
Note: Electric blankets MUST NOT be used on top of the user (as
with a normal blanket), instead they must be firmly secured to the
mattress.
• Fit the side skirts around the edges of the mattress then use the
elastic skirt to ensure that the blanket fits snuggly around the
sides and underneath the mattress.
• Spread the skirt around the mattress edge ensuring even
tension and making sure the blanket is placed evenly over the
mattress then ensure that the blanket is flat and crease free.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE FITTING INSTRUCTIONS MAY
TRIGGER THE OVERHEAT PROTECTION SYSTEM AND RENDER
THE BLANKET PERMANENTLY INOPERATIVE. THIS MAY
INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY.
Note: Care should also be taken if you are using a continental
quilt because heat will build up more quickly than with other bed
coverings. A short period may only be needed to reach maximum
temperature depending on the insulation density of your quilt. This
also applies if using additional bed blankets.
• The electric blanket should not be tucked in at the sides.
• Make your bed in the usual manner.
• After the blanket is secure and fitted correctly, plug the
controller(s) into the wall power socket and turn on.
• NOTE: Do not plug into a powerboard, double adaptor or the
like. The power plug must be inserted directly into the wall
power socket.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT COVER THE CONTROLLERS AT ANY TIME.
• Keep the controller away from external heat sources. i.e.
heaters, fireplaces etc.
ELECTRIC BLANKET PLACEMENT

10
Auto Off
• This controller is fitted with a 8 hour count down auto OFF
timer, which starts to countdown from when your heat setting
has been selected, and will switch off after 8 hours.
• Note: Once a heat setting has been selected and the
controller is powered ON, the countdown timer will not be
affected by adjusting the heat level.
• The timer will only be reset to 8 hours by pressing the Power
button OFF and then turning back ON.
• When the controller has timed out, the element will turn off.
Press the Power button back on to reset.
Preheat
• At normal ambient temperature you should allow at least 15
minutes on heat setting “5-6” to preheat.
• You may get into bed sooner while the bed is still warming up,
however DO NOT leave the blanket on setting “5-6” while you
are in the bed.
• Note: A cold room or bed that has not been used for some
time may require a greater length of time to preheat.
Overheat Protection
• The blanket is fitted with numerous overheat safeguard
systems. This offers protection against overheating or damage
to the elements by disengaging the power to the elements
before overheating hazards occur.
• Should there ever be a problem with the heating element in
the blanket, it will automatically close down the operation and
the heated throw will turn off.
• The controller must not be covered. The controller has built in
protection, so that if the controller overheats, or the heating
element is damaged, it will automatically close down the
operation permanently.
OPERATION

11
• If overheating occurs, the heated throw is permanently
damaged and cannot be used again. A replacement will be
needed.
• NOTE: Keep the controller away from external heat sources.
i.e. heater, fireplace etc.
OPERATION
CLEANING & CARE
• This electric blanket must be washed on the hand wash cycle
only (MAX 40°C). Never use hot water as the blanket may
shrink and will void the warranty.
• Before washing, first disconnect the plug connection and
remove the plug from the heated throw. We recommend that
the heated throw is washed separately. Ensure the controllers
do not get wet at any time.
• Use a mild detergent with dosage according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
