may have been accumulated
in the mattress. Repeat this
process every few months to
maintain a dry, healthy bed.

sliding the switch to select the desired
temperature setting between 1 and 3.
The three settings allow you to choose
the right balance of heat depending
on your personal requirements.The
numbers on the electric blanket
controller correspond to the following
temperatures:
0 = No heat
1 = Low heat (for low, gentle heat or
all night use)
2 = Medium heat
3 = High heat (recommended for
preheating only)
You may notice an odour when using
the electric blanket for the first time,
due to the insulation material.This
is harmless and will subside quickly.
It is recommended that you do not
sleep on the electric blanket when it
is switched on. Should you choose to
leave your blanket on all night; setting
1 can be used.
Your blanket has a detachable
controller and waterproof element
which makes your blanket safe to
machine wash.
An audible click will be heard when
selecting the temperature setting.
The ‘On’ light will also illuminate to
indicate that the electric blanket is
on and heating.Additional heating
selections can be made by sliding
the switch to the desired temperature
setting (between 1-3).
To turn the electric blanket off, slide
the switch to either the furthest
upward or downward position, both
these positions are marked with ‘0’.
The ‘On’ light will turn off to indicate
that the power has been turned off.
