Connecting the controls
To connect the controls, lift one corner of the
blanket near the head of the bed to expose
the connector socket. With the control set
to the off position, 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.
Follow the instructions below for the type of
electric blanket you have purchased.
A double/queen size electric blanket can
safely be used on a double bed, providing the
heating wires do not overhang the edge of the
mattress. Do not tuck in.
Fitted electric blankets
Place the electric blanket on your mattress
with the control sockets on the underside of
the blanket near the head of the bed (see
Figure 3). Ensure the heating wires do not
extend under the pillows.
A single or king single Fitted or Antibacterial
electric blanket can be turned over so that
the control is on the preferred side of the bed
if desired. Please note that this may result in
the control facing towards the bed once the
bed is made.
Pull the elastic cord inside the fitted skirt
over the top corners of the mattress. To fit
the foot of the bed, pull from the centre of
the blanket to the foot of the bed, and fit one
corner at a time while holding the centre (see
Figure 4).
Ensure the fitted skirt and elastic cord go
completely under the mattress. Pull on the
edges of the blanket to ensure that it is flat
and square on the mattress.
