cleaning and caring for your
electric blanket
Follow these simple instructions to get the best out of your electric blanket for years
to come.
storing your electric blanket
The safest and best place to leave your blanket during the warmer months is on your
bed, but if you do need to store it elsewhere, allow it to cool down and then roll or
loosely fold it up. Don’t fold tightly or put heavy items on top of your blanket – deep
creases could form, which could damage the wiring.
washing your electric blanket
Your Slumberdown electric blanket can be washed by hand or in the washing machine
on a 40° wool cycle. Please note that you must never dry clean your blanket. Before
you wash it, disconnect the mains lead from the blanket’s socket and make sure the
controls do not get wet.
■
To handwash – fill a large bowl or bath with warm water and mild washing powder
or detergent. Leave the blanket to soak for 5 or so minutes, then gently wash. Rinse
in clean water until the water runs clear.
■
To machine wash – place your blanket in the washing machine on a 40° wool cycle.
Once your blanket is clean, do not wring it out – gently but firmly squeeze as much
of the excess water out as you can.
drying your electric blanket
It’s best to dry your electric blanket on the washing line.
■
Reshape the blanket and gently tease it back to size while it’s damp.
■
If you’re hanging it on the washing line to dry, make sure you don’t peg any of the
wired areas of the blanket as you could damage them.
■
Always make sure the electric blanket is totally dry before you use it.
important regular wear and tear checks
You should check your blanket regularly to:
■
Make sure the plug, mains lead, electric blanket socket and controller are safe and
undamaged with no bare wire showing.
■
Make sure the wiring of your electric blanket isn’t protruding through the fabric
anywhere.
■
Straighten out any wires that have looped or twisted back – hold your electric
blanket up to a window or light to check.
■
If there are such signs of wear or damage, if the blanket has been misused or does
not work, return it to the supplier before switching it on again.
■
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
