Fitting the electric blanket
Your fitted electric blanket has a fully fitted, elastic skirt sewn into the blanket so
it can be fitted easily on top of the mattress. Please note that the slits in the skirt
for the controllers are located on the sides of the
blanket closer to the foot end, as illustrated
(Fig. 1).
• Locate the red sticker on the blanket that
indicates the top end. Place the blanket flat
on your bed so that the red sticker sits at the
head of the bed. Remove and discard the red
sticker once the blanket is fitted.
• The slits in the skirt of the blanket should be visible near the foot end of the
bed. The controllers are situated under the electric blanket and should exit
through the slits in the skirt.
• Pull the elastic surrounding the fitted skirt over the ends of the mattress,
making sure that:
* The heating wire section on the electric blanket is clear of the pillow.
* The blanket is evenly stretched and distributed over the entire mattress. Pull
the middle of the blanket so that no creases or rucking is evident.
* No heating wire is trapped or tucked into any part of the bed.
* The elastic of the blanket skirt is completely secured under the entire mattress.
• Ensure that the blanket does not overhang the bed edge.
NOTE: The blanket material 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.
• Thread the connected controllers through
the sewn loop located near the head of
the blanket (Fig. 2). The controllers will
hang from the loop for easier access to the
controls.
• When the blanket is properly fitted, the
controllers and cord must be outside of the
bed and coverings and located in a position
that will prevent accidental damage to the housing and cords.
• Your new electric blanket is now fully fitted. Add your bed sheets as usual.
Use the blanket only as an underblanket; do not use it above the occupant of
the bed.
