• Precautions are to be taken when routing the mains cable
around the bed or chair to ensure that it does not become
squeezed, trapped or damaged by the bed frame or other
ancillary equipment - Risk of electrocution.
• Do not place any objects or items, such as blankets, on or over
the control unit - Risk of fire.
• Any electrical cable that is part of the mattress system or
associated ancillary equipment that is found to be damaged
