SYSTEM
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.

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

temperature reaches the point at
which damage may occur.
In the event of the OVERHEAT
SYSTEM operating, the blanket
will cease to function.
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.
WARNING: No attempt should
be made to repair the blanket
or have it repaired locally and
the switch supplied must
never be replaced since the
specialised components are
not generally available.
Do not connect both flexible
cords to one 13amp plug.
The fact that this blanket
incorporates the overheat
system does not absolve the
user from observing these
instructions.
The two leads should preferably
be plugged into individual
sockets. However, if only one
socket is accessible, then a muti
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.
