Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions

Sunbeam is very safety conscious when designing and manufacturing consumer products, but it is essential that the product user also exercise care when using an electrical appliance. Listed below are precautions which are essential for the safe use of an electrical appliance:

• Read carefully and save all the instructions provided with an appliance.
• Always turn the power off at the power outlet before you insert or remove a plug. Remove by grasping the plug – do not pull on the cord.
• Turn the power off and remove the plug when the appliance is not in use and before cleaning.
• Do not use your appliance with an extension cord unless this cord has been checked and tested by a qualified technician or service person.
• Always use your appliance from a power outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked on the appliance.
• Close supervision is necessary when your appliance is being used by children or infirm persons.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Never leave an appliance unattended while in use.
• Do not use an appliance for any purpose other than its intended use.
• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas flame, electric element or on a heated oven. Do not place on top of any other appliance.
• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang over the edge of a table or bench top or touch any hot surface.
• Do not operate any electrical appliance with a damaged cord or after the appliance has been damaged in any manner. If damage is suspected, contact Sunbeam’s customer service team.
• For additional protection, Sunbeam recommend the use of a residual current device (RCD) with a tripping current not exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit supplying power to your appliances.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid unless recommended.
• Appliances are not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote control system.
• If the appliance is slept on with the controls set to a higher temperature the user may suffer skin burns or heat stroke.
• Do not place heavy items on top of the appliance when it is turned on.
• It is recommended that a qualified engineer or registered person inspect the heated throw once it passes warranty period and every 2 years thereafter.

Sunbeam’s Sleep Perfect® Technology

Temperature sensitive, fast-heating elements

All Sunbeam Feel Perfect electric throws feature our exclusive Sleep Perfect® technology. This technology uses a unique heating element that adjusts the heat level of your electric throw to maintain your selected setting.

A built-in microprocessor continually senses changes in room and body temperature and adjusts the power input accordingly, to provide a constant level of comfort.

The unique flexible heating element allows the fabric to drape around you, enabling the heated throw to be used on the lounge or your favourite arm chair.
This unique element also heats up to reach your selected temperature in just 10 minutes, so there’s no need for hours of preheating

Nine levels of safety protection

A built-in microprocessor constantly senses the resistance of the heating wire and adjusts the power input accordingly. It senses any rise in temperature and reduces the power supply to prevent overheating.

In the unlikely event of a fault, the microprocessor senses the abnormal operation and automatically cuts off power to the throw.

A second microprocessor acts as a back up should the first fail.
For additional safety protection, all Feel Perfect electric throw rugs contain a thermal back up fuse that is independent of the throw rug control. It detects any abnormal temperature variations in the heating element and automatically switches the throw off to prevent overheating.

Using your heated throw

Using your heated throw

Your heated throw can be used on the lounge or in your favourite chair, providing cosy comfort wherever you need it. It can even be used on futons, adjustable beds and waterbeds.

Connecting the control

Insert the control connector into the socket, making sure it is firmly clicked into position. Plug the control into a 230-240V power outlet and turn the power on.

Note: Ensure that the control is connected to the heated throw before inserting the plug into the power outlet. Connecting the power before attaching the control to the throw rug will replicate a power interruption and activate the safety system, preventing the throw from heating.

Caution: Keep the control away from heating sources such as heaters and lamps. Do not cover the control.

Using your heated throw

Press the Power button to turn the blanket on.
Your heated throw is supplied with a 6 heat control. Press the temperature button to toggle through each heat setting.
1-3 Continuous or all night use
4-5 Medium Pre-heat
6 Fast Pre-heat

Use Pre-heat settings to preheat the throw only. Do not use your heated throw on these settings more than 30 minutes.
Note: When pressing the power button, the heated throw will automatically turn to Setting 6 (Fast Pre-heat).

Safety Auto off

Your electric throw features a safety auto off with 1, 3 or 9 hours automatic stop, so you can choose the right warmth for you.
Simply press the Power button to reactivate.

Troubleshooting

Should your heated throw fail to heat

1. Check that the control is properly connected to the heated throw and clicked securely into position. If you find the control connector plug is not properly fitted to the heated throw, switch the power off at the power outlet, securely attach the control connector plug to the heated throw, and then switch the power back on.
2. Check that the power cord is connected to the power outlet and the power is switched on.

Care and cleaning

All Feel Perfect Heated Throws electric blankets feature waterproof heating elements, making them fully immiscible and safe to wash by hand or machine.
Before cleaning your electric blanket, ensure that the controls are unplugged from the blanket.

Spot cleaning

Sponge the affected area using a neutral wool detergent or mild soap flakes mixed with lukewarm water. Sponge twice with clean water to remove detergent. Remove excess water by compressing the wet area between two towels.

Hand washing

Wash the blanket in lukewarm water with a neutral wool detergent or mild soap flakes. Soak for five minutes, then gently squeeze the soapy water through the fabric. Rinse thoroughly in clean, lukewarm water then drain excess water from the blanket. Do not wring.

Machine washing

Take your electric blanket to a commercial laundry or wash in a domestic washing machine (svpermitting). Wash on WOOL or DELICATES cycle with a neutral wool detergent or mild soap flakes, below 40°C. Do not use high speed or extra spin cycles.

Line drying

Drape the blanket across several lines of your clothesline, and try to avoid direct heat. Do not use pegs on the wired areas. Do not dry with a hairdryer or heater. Ensure that the blanket and control sockets are completely dry before using again.

Machine drying

Tumble dry your blanket on LOW setting for 15 minutes MAXIMUM. Smooth the blanket by gently pulling any creases out of the fabric. Line dry to ensure the blanket and control sockets are completely dry before use. Do not dry with a hairdryer or heater.

Storing your blanket
Your 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 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 pressing sharp creases into the blanket.
Do not place heavy items on top of your electric blanket when storing. When storing the electric blanket, allow it to cool down before folding.
