Fitting and using your control
Connecting the controls
To connect the controls, lift one corner of
the blanket near the head of the bed to
expose the connector socket (see Figure 3).
Pass the control cord through the triangular
hole in the fitted skirt and insert the
connector plug into the socket. Ensure it is
firmly clicked into position. Repeat on the
other side if required. Plug the controls into
a 230-240V power outlet and turn the power
on.
Note:
Ensure that the controls are connected
to the blanket before inserting the power cord
into the power outlet. Connecting the power
before attaching the controls to the blanket
will replicate a power interruption and
activate the safety system, preventing your
blanket from heating.
Caution:
The cord and controls must be kept
outside the bed and away from external
heating sources such as heaters and lamps.
Do not cover the control.
Before first use
Before using your electric blanket for the
first time, Sunbeam recommends that you
switch the blanket to maximum heat for two
to three hours to evaporate any moisture in
the mattress. Repeat this process every few
months to maintain a dry, healthy bed.
Figure 3.
A choice of 3 heat settings, to keep you
warm all night. Simply slide the control
switch to your desired heat level.
I Low, gentle heat
II Medium heat
III High heat. Recommended for preheating
only. Do not sleep with your blanket on
this setting for more than 30 minutes.
To turn off, simply slide the control switch to
‘O’, and the illumination light will turn off.
