Safety & care

Before first use

Unfold the blanket fully and check the cord and controller for damage. Connect the controller to the blanket so it's firmly seated, then plug it into a wall outlet. Don't use an extension cord or a voltage converter.

Using it

  • Choose a heat setting on the LCD controller. Start in the middle and adjust from there.
  • Set a timer if you like. Without one, the blanket switches itself off after 10 hours.
  • Keep it flat over you. Don't fold it, bunch it, tuck it in or sit on the controller while it's on.
  • Don't use it under another heavy blanket, or with pins or clips through it.
  • Not for infants, young children, pets, or anyone who can't feel heat or operate the controller.
  • If you have a pacemaker, diabetes, poor circulation or reduced sensation, ask your doctor before using a heated blanket.
  • Stop using it if you notice scorching, an exposed wire, or a controller that gets hot.

Washing

  • Switch off and unplug from the wall, then detach the controller from the blanket. The controller never goes in water.
  • Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. No bleach.
  • Dry as shown on the care label, and make sure the blanket is completely dry before you reconnect the controller.
  • Don't iron or dry clean it.

Storing

Let it cool, then roll or fold it loosely so the heating wires aren't creased. Keep it somewhere dry, with the controller stored separately.
