Functions
BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any promotional material and packaging from the heated blanket.
SECURING YOUR FITTED HEATED BLANKET:
Unfold the heated blanket and lay it flat on the mattress, ensuring that the skirt is aligned with the corresponding edges. Ensure that the controller socket(s) is facing up and positioned at the top end of the mattress. Ensure that the heating wire section on the blankets is clear of the pillow and does not hang over the sides of the mattress. Pull the elastic inside the fitted skirt over the ends of the mattress. Ensure to pull the middle of the blanket so that it is evenly stretched and distributed over the entire mattress, ensuring there are no creases or rucking.
NOTE: The heated blanket must not be wider than the mattress with which it is to be used. It is normal for a small section of the fitted skirt to be showing on top of a larger sized mattress.
No heating wire must be trapped or tucked into any part of the bed. The heating wire should not hang over the sides of the mattress. Ensure the elastic of the blanket skirt is completely under the entire mattress and secure.When fitted to the mattress correctly, the controller socket(s) should be positioned at the top end of the mattress, near occupant’s shoulder area.
NOTE: Ensure that the blanket is stretched completely flat when placed on the mattress and creases or rucking is not evident.CAUTION: No heating wire must be trapped or tucked into any part of the bed.
Ensure that when the blanket is fitted onto the mattress, the controller(s) and flexible power supply cord are outside of the bed coverings and located in a position that will prevent accidental damage to the housing and cords.Use this blanket as an under blanket and do not use above the occupant of the bed.
FITTING THE REMOVABLE COVERS (ONLY AVAILABLE ON DESIGNATED MODELS).
Ensure the heated blanket is correctly fitted to the mattress before fitting the removable cover (if applicable).When fixing the removable cover to the heated blanket, ensure the quilted cover is facing upwards with the studs facing down. Secure the removable cover to the heated blanket using the snap-fastener studs provided. Ensure that all studs are fastened to prevent the cover from moving.No cover other than that supplied with the blanket should be used with the heated blanket.
TO CONNECT THE CONTROLLER/S
Ensure the heated blanket controller is in the ‘OFF’ position and not connected to the power outlet.To connect your controller, insert the controller plug into the controller socket on the heated blanket.
Ensure that the plug is securely fastened in the socket so that the locking clips are fully inserted and there is no gap between the plug and socket, as per picture below.NOTE: The controller plug is designed to only fit the socket correctly one way – if the plug does not push in fully, turn the plug around.
If the LCD screen displays an ‘F’ error message and the blue screen flashes continuously, this is an indication that the controller plug may have a loose connection or an interference has occurred with the power supply.To correct, turn the controller switch to the ‘OFF’ position and turn the power off at the outlet, then disconnect and reconnect the controller plug into the controller socket, ensuring a correct fit.Turn the power outlet back on and reset the heated blanket controller to continue using.

OPERATING YOUR HEATED BLANKET

NOTE: It is not recommended that you sleep with the heated blanket switched on. Should you choose to leave your blanket on all night, however, the lowest heat setting (1,1) should be use.NOTE: When lying on a heated blanket, your body forms part of an electromagnetic field created by the blanket. Some people may feel a tingling sensation or subtle vibration as a result of this, or when touching someone else lying on the heated blanket. This is common to most heated blanket brands and only some people experience this effect. There is no cause for concern and the sensation is not an electric shock.
