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 it’s 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 dual adaptor should be used.
WARNING: Only the electric blanket should be connected to the dual adaptor. If you are unsure, 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. 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.
