Fitting your Goldair Electric Blanket

FITTING YOUR GOLDAIR FITTED ELECTRIC BLANKET
Place the Electric Blanket on the mattress with the skirt on top of the Electric Blanket.
Ensure the end of the Electric Blanket with controls is at the top end of the bed.
The power cord must be positioned to prevent it being sat on or rolled on when getting in or out of the bed. If the controller cord is sat on or trapped between the bed edge and the user on a regular basis it will be damaged over time resulting in premature failure or fire. Cord must not be bent over the edge of the bed.

Once the Electric Blanket is in the correct position fit the skirt over the mattress.

Connect the Electric Blanket controls into the sockets on the Electric Blanket and plug into a power point and turn on. The controller must be kept outside the bed and away
from external heating sources, such as heaters or bedside lamps..

Operating Your Electric Blanket

Your Goldair Electric Blanket is equipped with a 3 Heat Control.
Two controls are supplied with the Double/Queen, King and Super King Size Blankets.
Important instructions: Retain for future use.
BEFORE FIRST USE:
NOTE: This Electric Blanket is to only be used as an under blanket.
Before using your Electric Blanket for the first time, the Electric Blanket needs to be unfolded and laid flat and then fitted to the bed as described earlier in this instruction manual.
CAUTION: Ensure the power cord is not tight because if pulled it may partially pull the plug from the socket.
A partially inserted plug will overheat the plug and socket and could result in fire.
EVERYDAY USE
With normal use your Electric Blanket will require 15 minutes of preheating before bedtime.
IMPORTANT: Your Electric Blanket is designed to pre-heat your bed.
Never sleep with Electric Blanket turned on. You must switch OFF prior to sleeping.

NOTE: This appliance is not to be used by children over the age of 3 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.

Operating Your Electric Blanket

NOTE: When lying on the blanket some people may experience a tingling sensation whether alone or when touching someone else lying on the Blanket.
This tingling sensation is known as an electric field effect and caused by the current flowing through the elements creating an Electromagnetic Field (EMF). Some people may be more sensitive to feeling the EMF tingling sensation than others. It is known to occur across all makes and models.
This is no cause for concern and is in not an electric shock.
STORING YOUR ELECTRIC BLANKET
Always allow the Electric Blanket to cool before folding and storing.
Your Electric Blanket can remain on the bed all year round as a comfortable under-blanket.
Simply remove the controls and store until Winter.
If you wish to remove the Electric Blanket from your bed when not in use, roll or fold it loosely and store in a blanket bag or the bag it was supplied in.
Avoid creating sharp creases in the Electric Blanket; for example do not store it under other items that may result in bending the wires of the Electric Blanket.
