Thank you for purchasing our Electric Blanket. Each unit is manufactured to
ensure safety and reliability. Before using for the first time, please read the
instruction manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
1 IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
•Before connecting and switching on the blanket, ensure that the voltage indicated on the rating
label corresponds to the mains voltage in your home.
•Read the instructions carefully, in conjunction with the illustrations, before fitting the blanket and
using for the first time.
•If the cord of this blanket is damaged, unplug and discontinue use of the product immediately
then contact the manufacturer.
•Check daily that your blanket is flat, fully spread out and secured before switching it on.
Failure to observe these instructions will result in overheating. This will activate the
overheat safeguard system, thus leaving the blanket inoperative.
Misuse of this blanket will invalidate your warranty.
•Use as an under-blanket only.
•These blankets are not recommended for futons.
•When storing the blanket, allow it to cool down before folding. Fold or roll neatly but not tightly
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. However, if the blanket is used on an
adjustable bed, check that the blanket and cord do not become trapped or rucked, for example, in
hinges.
•The blanket is not to be used by young children unless the controls have been pre-set by a parent
or guardian, or unless the child has been adequately instructed on how to operate the controls
safely.
•This appliance 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.
•Make sure that the heating area (on any side of the bed) does not fall over the edge of the
mattress, that the attachments are adequate and suited to the mattress, and that the instructions
are read before using the blanket.
•This blanket is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without adequate
supervision.
•Electric blankets are intended for human use only. Not for animals and pets
•Prolonged application at the highest heat setting can result in skin burns.

Rev 5
•Do not tuck the edges of the blanket in.
•Do not use the blanket rucked or folded.
•Keep the control away from an open window.
•Do not use pins as these may damage the electric wiring.
•Be sure that this blanket is used only on an alternating current supply circuit of the correct
voltage.
•The flexible supply cord and switch must, as far as practicable, be kept outside of the bed covers.
Do Not Cover the Controller.
•Do not switch the power on if the blanket is wet or in a folded state.
•Switch off the power outlet and remove the plug from the mains when the blanket is not in use.
•Bed clothes should not be folded back when the blanket is switched on. Do not leave heavy
objects on the bed, e.g. folded blankets, suitcases etc. when the unit is switched on as this will
trigger the over temperature device and render the blanket PERMANENTLY inoperable. This may
also invalidate the warranty.
•Arrange the blanket so that the elements are not under the pillows and/or bolsters.
•Do not dry-clean this blanket. Cleaning liquid may have a damaging effect on the insulation
covering of the heating unit. Follow washing directions located on the blankets rating label. (Foot
end of the blanket) and in this Instruction Manual.
•Persons suffering from bed-wetting should not use this blanket.
•If any abnormality or defect in operation is observed, discontinue its use immediately and consult
the distributor regarding its examination and/or repair.
•The blanket should be examined frequently for signs of wear, either of the blanket, controller or
flexible cord. If wear is visible or if any abnormality or defect in operation in the blanket is
observed, discontinue use immediately and consult a qualified and registered person for service.
•The blanket must not be used over or under a water bed.
•Depending on the controller type, you may notice a blue flash in the switch when moving from
one setting to another. This is NOT dangerous and is caused by the copper parts making contact.
•It is recommended that your electric blanket is inspected by a qualified and registered person
after 3 years of use.
•This blanket is intended for domestic use only. It is not intended for use in hospitals or the like.
•Switch off from the power outlet and remove plug when the blanket is not in use.
•Only use the controller/s supplied with this blanket.

2 Connecting the Controller
Turn Off Power and Remove the Plug from the Wall Socket
*The controller socket/s are located on the underneath of the blanket*
•To fit the controller plug, simply hold the socket with one hand and push the
controller plug all the way until the locking tab locates over the lug on top of the
controller plug.
•To remove the controller, lift the locking tab up with your finger and pull the
controller plug directly out. Do Not Pull the controller cable and Do Not try and
pull the controller plug out without lifting the locking tab as you will damage the
socket.
•Feed the power plug and controller out through the slit in the side skirt at the
head end.
•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.
3 Securing Your Electric Blanket
Note: Your electric blanket should be placed directly onto the mattress.
If using a mattress protector, this goes over the electric blanket.

Page 6 of 14
Rev 5
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE FITTING INSTRUCTIONS MAY TRIGGER THE
OVERHEAT PROTECTION SYSTEM AND RENDER THE BLANKET
PERMANENTLY INOPERATIVE. THIS MAY INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY.
IMPORTANT:
•With the controller/s hanging on the outside of the skirt, 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 blankets fits snugly 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.
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 blanket top should not be tucked in at the sides.
•Make your bed in the usual manner.
•When you are satisfied that the blanket is fitted correctly, plug the controller/s into
the wall power socket and turn on.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT COVER THE CONTROLLERS AT ANY TIME

5.3 Pre Heat
The controller has a pre-heat facility in order for you to warm your bed prior to
getting into it.
The time taken to pre-heat the bed will depend on the ambient temperature of the
bedroom and whether an electric blanket has been used to air the bed on a regular
basis.

Page 9 of 14
Rev 5
At normal ambient temperature you should allow approximately 60 - 90 minutes on
the level “3” (Pre Heat) setting indicated by the Red Light.
You may get into bed sooner while the bed is still warming up, but please DO NOT
leave the blanket set on the Preheat setting (No. 3) while you are in the bed.
A cold room or bed that has not been used for some time may require a greater
length of time on the pre-heat.
Note: For safety reasons, the switch will automatically turn down from the Preheat
setting (No. 3) to the highest All Night setting (No. 2) after approximately 3 hours.
5.4 Auto Off Timer
•The controller is fitted with an adjustable “Auto Off Timer” function in steps of 3
hours, 6 hours, 9 hours and 12 hours. This will turn power off to the heating
elements after the selected time has expired.
•To set the required off period from when the controllers’ Heat Setting has been
set, press the Timer Button once.
The timer will change from the default 12 hour down to 3 hour.
Press again and the timer will change up to 6 hour.
Press again and the timer will change up to 9 hour
Press again and the timer will change up to 12 hour, and so on.
•Therefore: If you select 3, the controller will turn power off to the elements
approximately 3 hours later, which is indicated by the Timer Indicator LED’s
extinguishing and the Blue light (Heat Setting “0”) illuminating showing the
elements have turned off and the controller is now in Standby Mode.
•If you select 6, the controller will turn power off to the elements approximately
6 hours later, which is indicated by the Timer Indicator LED’s extinguishing
and the Blue light (Heat Setting “0”) illuminating showing the elements have
turned off and the controller is now in Standby Mode.
•If you select 9, the controller will turn power off to the elements approximately
9 hours later, which is indicated by the Timer Indicator LED’s extinguishing
and the Blue light (Heat Setting “0”) illuminating showing the elements have
turned off and the controller is now in Standby Mode.
•If you select 12, the controller will turn power off to the elements approximately
12 hours later, which is indicated by the Timer Indicator LED’s extinguishing
and the Blue light (Heat Setting “0”) illuminating showing the elements have
turned off and the controller is now in Standby Mode.

•Should you want to reset the timer during the heating period, press the Heat
Button until the lights cycle around to Heat Setting “0” “Blue light”, wait at
least 5 seconds, then select your desired Heat Setting and “Time to Off”
setting again.
This will reset the timer and will start to count down again from the Hour
selected.
Note: If you do not wait for at least 5 seconds on Heat Setting “0”, the timer
will not reset.
You will know if the timer has reset as when you press the Heat button,
after waiting for at least 5 seconds, all four Lower Timer lights will illuminate
indicating 12 Hours to Off.
6 Overheat Protection
•The blanket is fitted with an overheat safeguard system.
•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 blanket will turn off.
•The switch must not be covered. The switch has built in protection, so that if the
switch overheats, it will automatically close down the operation.
•Should this occur, the blanket will turn off.
Please refer to the Troubleshooting Guide in the back of this manual
before calling the service department or before returning the blanket.
