replaced by a special cord assembly available from the manufacturer or
its service agent.
• Check daily that your blanket is at, fully spread out and secured before
switching it on.
• Failure to observe these instructions will result in overheating. This
will activate the overheat safeguard system, thus leaving the blanket
inoperative.
• Use as an under-blanket only.
• These blankets are not recommended for futons.
• When storing the blanket, allow it to cool down before folding. Fold
neatly but not tightly (or rolled) without sharp bends in the heating
elements and store where no other heavy objects will be placed upon it.
• The blanket should not be used on an adjustable bed. However, if the
blanket is used on an adjustable bed, check that the blanket and cord
do not become trapped or rucked, for example, in hinges.
• The Blanket is Not to be used by very young children (0-3 years). Children
under the age of three are not to use this appliance due to their inability
to react to overheating.
• The Blanket is not to be used by young children over the age of three
unless the controls have been pre-set by a parent or guardian, or unless
the child has been adequately instructed on how to operate the controls
safely.

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.
• This Blanket must not be used by persons insensitive to heat and other
very vulnerable persons who are unable to react to overheating.
• Make sure that the heating area (on any side of the bed) does not fall
over the edge of the mattress, that the attachments are adequate and
suited to the mattress, and that the instructions are read before using
the blanket.
• This blanket is not intended for use by young children or inrm persons

when the blanket is not in use.
• Bed clothes should not be folded back when the blanket is switched on.
• Do not leave heavy objects on the bed, e.g. folded blankets, suitcases etc.
when the blanket is switched on as this will trigger the over temperature
device and render the Blanket PERMANENTLY inoperable. This may also
invalidate the warranty.
• Arrange the blanket so that the elements are not under the pillows and/
or bolsters.
• Do not dry-clean this blanket. Cleaning liquid may have a damaging
eect on the insulation covering of the heating element. Follow washing
directions located on the blankets rating label. (Foot end of the blanket)

Connecting the Controller
Turn O Power and Remove the Plug from the Power Source
• To t the controller simply hold the socket on the blanket with one hand and push
the controller plug all the way until it clicks in. There are grooves to guide.
• To remove the controller, hold the corner of the blanket and pull the controller plug
directly out. Do not pull the controller cable.
• Do not fold, roll or kink the cable. Allow the cable to hang freely.
• Ensure the cable is not pulled so tight that it bends hard at the blanket connector
end.
NOTE: Ensure that the electric blanket is sized to suit your mattress i.e. queen sized
electric blanket must be used on a queen sized mattress.
Do not use a single bed blanket on a Double, Queen or King size mattress.
The blanket top must not hang over the edges of the mattress.
7
Securing your Electric Blanket
Note: Your electric blanket must be placed directly onto the mattress. If using a
mattress protector, this goes over the electric blanket.
IMPORTANT
• Place the blanket onto the mattress with the controller connection/s at the HEAD
END of the bed.
• NOTE: Electric blankets MUST NOT be used on top of the user (as with a normal
blanket), instead they must be rmly secured to the mattress.
• Fit the side skirts around the edges of the mattress then use the elastic skirt to
ensure that the blanket ts snugly around the sides and underneath the mattress.
• Spread the skirt around the mattress edge ensuring even tension and making
sure the blanket is placed evenly over the mattress then ensure that the blanket is
at and crease free.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE FITTING INSTRUCTIONS MAY TRIGGER THE
OVERHEAT PROTECTION SYSTEM AND RENDER THE BLANKET PERMANENTLY
INOPERATIVE. THIS MAY INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY.
• Note: Care should also be taken if you are using a continental quilt because heat
will build up more quickly than with other bed coverings. A short period may
only be needed to reach maximum temperature depending on the insulation
density of your quilt. This also applies if using additional bed blankets.
• The electric blanket should not be tucked in at the sides.
• Make your bed in the usual manner.
• After the blanket is secure and tted correctly, plug the controller(s) into the wall
power socket and turn on.
• NOTE: Do not plug into a powerboard, double adaptor or the like. The power
plug must be inserted directly into the wall power socket.
IMPORTANT:DO NOT COVER THE CONTROLLERS AT ANY TIME.
Keep the controller away from external heat sources. i.e. heaters, replaces etc.
8
Using the Controller
IMPORTANT: Only use your Electric Blanket with detachable controller Model SS01A.
Do not use any other controller for this blanket.
Heat Settings:
0 = O
1 / I = Low Heat (suitable for continuous use)
2 / II = Medium Heat
3 / II = High Heat (For preheating the bed only)
1. To select the required heat setting, simple slide the “Temperature Select Knob” up
or down to your desired setting.
2. The selected setting will be indicated with the number in blue on the display screen.
TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE BLANKET WHEN NOT IN USE.
Keep the controller away from external heat sources. i.e. heater, replace etc.
Electrical Field Eect
When using the electric blanket, some people may be susceptible to a tingling sensation
when alone or when touching someone else using the blanket.
This “Tingling” feeling is known as an “electric eld eect” and is occasionally known
to happen across all makes and brands of Blankets. It is caused by the current owing
through the element creating an Electromagnetic Field (EMF). Some people are more
susceptible to feeling this EMF tingling sensation than others. This is no cause for
concern and is in no way an electric shock.
9
Operation
Auto O
This controller is tted with a 3 hour count down auto OFF timer, which starts to
countdown from when your heat setting has been selected, and will switch o after
8 hours.
Note: Once a heat setting has been selected and the switch is powered ON, the
countdown timer will not be aected by adjusting heat level.
The timer will only be reset to 8 hours by sliding the control knob to “0” or after
being powered OFF and then back ON.
When the controller has timed out, slide the control to the “0” position to reset.
Preheat
At normal ambient temperature you should allow at least 15 minutes on heat setting
“3” to preheat.
You may get into bed sooner while the bed is still warming up, however DO NOT
leave the blanket on setting "3" while you are in the bed.
Note: A cold room or bed that has not been used for some time may require a
greater length of time on the pre-heat.
Overheat Protection
The blanket is tted with an overheat protection system. This oers protection
against overheating or damage to the elements by disengaging the power to the
elements before overheating hazards occur. Disconnect the power supply before
there is a risk of overheating.
Should there ever be a problem with the heating element in the blanket, it will
automatically close down the operation and the blanket will turn o.
The controller has built in protection, so that if the controller overheats, or the
heating element is damaged, it will automatically close down the operation
permanently.
If overheating occurs, the blanket is permanently damaged and cannot be used
again. A replacement will be needed.
