Heat Controller
The CARMEN heat controller with braille markings, allows you to pre-heat the bed and then select the
comfort level you need.
Detachable Controller
For convenience, this model is fitted with a detachable controller so that during the summer months of the
year, you can simply remove the cords and leave the electric blanket on as an underlay.
Washable
All blankets in the range can be spot washed so you can clean up any localised soiling. However, for more
thorough cleaning, there are a range of products that are “fully hands washable” once the heat controls are
removed. This blanket is also machine washable. Please see further for further instructions.
Fitted Design
The fitted blanket features a elastic skirt which holds the electric blanket firmly in position and is designed
to fit varying mattress depths.
Automatic Overheat Protection
Electric Blankets are fitted with our Overheat Safeguard system. This offers protection against overheating
or damage to the element by disengaging the power to the heating element before any overheat hazards
occur.

How To Secure Your Electric Blanket
Please follow the instructions below for the type of electric blanket you have purchased. As the blanket you
may have purchased may be a split size, it is quite safe to use for example a Double/Queen blanket on a
double sized bed as long as the heating elements do not extend over the edge of the mattress.
Note: if using a matrass protector, this goes over the electric blanket.
Fitted electric blankets
1. Place blanket on mattress with the mains lead at the pillow end. Ensure the controller emerges from the
top side of the blanket and that the heating elements do not emerge under the pillow area.
2. Gently pull the elastic string until the electric blanket fits snug around the mattress base. Spread out the
skirt to ensure the blanket is flat and evenly tight. (Fig. 1.)

3. The electric blanket should now be securely fixed to the mattress (Fig. 2.). Smooth out any rucks or folds
in the blanket, then make the bed in your usual manner.
