Safety instructions
• All Carmen heated blankets have been manufactured to the
highest European standards. This product has been comprehen-
sively tested for all known safety situations, so you can relax in
the knowledge that it will provide warmth, comfort and peace
of mind.
• Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage indicated on
the product corresponds with the mains voltage in your home.
If you are in any doubt about your supply, ask your electrical
dealer or local electricity company.
• Only specialists are allowed to do reparations. Improperly
reparations can cause considerable danger!
• There is always risk of injury when using electrical appliances
improperly!
Personal safety
• This appliance is not intended for the use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
• Do not use with a helpless person, an infant or a person insensi
-
tive to heat.
• Young children should be instructed on how to operate the con
-
trols safely and heat settings controlled by a parent or guardian.
• Do not use a hot water bottle at the same time as using the
blanket.
Product safety
• Ensure the blanket is used in the manner in which it is intended,
as an under blanket.
• If used on an adjustable bed, check the blanket or cord cannot
become trapped or rucked.
• Ensure the product is correctly fitted to the bed, following the
instructions in this booklet.
• Do not insert pins or any sharp objects into the blanket
(H).
•
Do not tuck the heated part of blanket material under the mattress.
• Do not use if the blanket is wet.
• Avoid pressing creases or folds into the blanket. Do not switch
on if the blanket is folded, creased or rucked (I).
• Do not use any lead, switch or cord other than the one supplied
with this blanket.
• Do not coil or lay the lead on the blanket.
• If you are unsure about electrical connections please contact a
qualified engineer.
Safeguard overheat protection system
• The system will remain dormant indefinitely as long as the
blanket is operating in the normal temperature range. If for any
reason the blanket is operated in an abnormal situation or condi-
tion which would otherwise have induced a rapid temperature
rise high enough to constitute a hazard, the overheat system
should intervene by cutting off the supply current before the
temperature reaches the point at which damage may occur.
• In the event of the overheat system operating, the blanket will
cease to function.
• It is normal for the lead from the blanket to the switch to
become warm as this is part of the heater protection circuit
extended to the switch.
• The fact that this blanket incorporates the overheat system does
not absolve the user from observing these instructions.
Safety instructions for cleaning and maintenance
• Do not dry clean the blanket, follow washing instructions on the
label attached to the blanket and the details that relate to your
blanket (Cleaning and Maintenance).
• When storing the blanket, allow it to cool down before folding.
• Do not crease the blanket by placing items on top of it during
storage.
