ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS Check that the voltage on the rating label of your appliance corresponds with your house electricity supply which must be A.C. (Alternating Current). If the socket outlets in your home are not suitable for the plug supplied with this appliance, the plug should be removed and the appropriate one fitted. Warning: The plug removed from the mains lead, if severed, must be destroyed as a plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous if engaged into a live socket outlet. Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug require changing, a 3 amp BS1362 fuse must be fitted. This appliance does not need to be earthed. It is a double insulated product. 3 75263 rev1 9/3/07 09:04 Page 5 BEFORE USE 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. WARNING: Do not attempt to use theblanket with controls other than those supplied with the unit asreferred to on the ratinglabel attached to the blanket. Dual control models On double dual models users are able to control their own side of the bed with individual controls, tailoring independent temperatures to independent needs. Each side of the blanket has a completely separate element and each is supplied with its own independent mains lead. A 13amp plug on each lead is essential. Do not connect both flexible cords to one 13amp plug. The two leads should preferably be plugged into individual sockets. However, if only one socket is accessible, then a multi adaptor should be used. WARNING: If you are unsure about electrical connections please contact a qualified engineer. It is quite normal for the switch to become warm as the components encased are part of the protection circuit. SAFEGUARD OVERHEAT PROTECTION SYSTEM Activation 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 condition 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. 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. In the event of the OVERHEAT SYSTEM operating, the blanket will cease to function. WARNING: No attemptshould be made to repairthe blanket or have it repaired locally and theswitch supplied mustnever be replaced sincethe specialised components are notgenerally available. The fact that this blanket incorporates the overheat system does not absolve the user from observing these instructions. 4 UK Helpline 0870 060 2614 Ireland Helpline 1800 409119 75263 rev1 9/3/07 09:04 Page 6 Fitting instructions • Use only as an underblanket and do not use above the occupant of the bed. • This product can be used with any type of bedding including waterproof bed protectors. • WARNING: Ensure the blanket is not folded, rucked or creased.
