PROPER USE

This mattress pad is designed for warming beds. It is not intended for use in hospitals or for commercial applications. In particular, it may not be used for infants, small children, persons insensitive to heat, incapacitated persons or animals.

SAFETY

Your mattress pad has been designed and fully tested to the North American Safety Standards so you can use it all night.
An electronic sensing mechanism in your heated mattress pad protects it from overheating by switching off automatically if it is faulty .  The safety system constantly monitors the temperature of the mattress pad. If the mattress pad reaches a temperature that could be dangerous, the system will turn off the mattress pad.
Once the safety system has turned off the mattress pad, the switch will no longer work and you can not reset it. You must return it with the mattress pad to our service department. The address is on the last page of
this leaflet. Although your mattress pad has this safety system, you must still follow these instructions.

HEATED MATTRESS PAD SETUP

• Place the heated mattress pad on the bed with the label at the foot of the bed facing upward.

Caution: Cord must be completely connected. A risk of fire could result from a loose connection.

• Do not sandwich cord between the mattress pad and box spring. Avoid any tangling or pinching.

Caution: Do not plug main power cord into the wall outlet until you have completely set up your heated product per the instructions.

• Disconnect power cord from wall before detaching control from heated product.
• Always make sure cords and controls are NOT trapped or pinched between bed slats, mattress, springs, against wall, footboard, or bed frame, or between furniture, walls or chairs.

Caution: Do not attempt to force the plug. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit only one way into an outlet. If the plug does not fit in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to impede this safety feature.

The mattress pad has a choice of preheat settings l to 8, with 8 being the warmest. Turn the mattress pad on approximately 30 minutes before you go to bed and choose your favorite setting.
