• Check daily that your heated throw is not damaged before switching it on.

• Always unfold or unroll before switching on.

• This heated throw is not to be used continuously.

• This heated throw is not to be used in bed or while asleep.

WARNING:
DO NOT use heated throw if it has been soiled with oil. This includes physiotherapy, massage and cooking oils.
Oil-aff ected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as an heated throw. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire.

Connecting the Controller

Turn off Power and Remove the Plug from Power Source

• To fit the controller plug, simply hold the socket with one hand and push the controller plug all the way until it’s firmly in place.
• To remove the controller, lift the locking tab up with your finger and pull the plug directly out. Do not pull the controller cable and do not try and pull the controller plug out without lifting the locking tab as you will damage the socket.
• Do not fold, roll or kink the cable. Allow the cable to hang freely.
• Ensure the cable is not pulled so tight that it bends hard at the heated throw connector end.

WARNING:
Always turn off the power and unplug the heated throw from power source before removing or fitting the controller.
Before removing the controller, make sure the controller is turned OFF.

Overheat Protection

• The heated throw is fitted with numerous overheat safeguard systems. This offers protection against overheating or damage to the elements by disengaging the power to the elements before overheating hazards occur.
• Should there ever be a problem with the heating element in the heated throw, it will automatically close down the operation and the heated throw will turn off.
• The controller must not be covered. The controller has built in protection, so that if the controller overheats or the heating element is damaged, it will automatically close down the operation permanently.

Please refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on page 14 of this manual before calling the service department or before returning the heated throw.

  Turn off and unplug the heated throw from the power point and wait until the controller cools down completely. Plug the heated throw back in and it should work as normal.

WARNING:
The highest temperature setting is for preheating only and not recommended for continuous operation.
The heated throw must NOT be used in bed or while sleeping.

5.1 Auto-off
This controller is fitted with a 3 hour Count Down Off Timer which starts to countdown from when your heat setting has been selected, and will switch power off to the elements after 3 hours.
Note: Once a heat setting has been selected and the controller is powered ON, the countdown timer will not be aff ected by adjusting heat level.
The timer will only be reset to 3 hours after being powered OFF and then back ON.

TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE THROW WHEN NOT IN USE.

5.2 Preheat
The controller has an automatic pre-heat facility (H) in order to warm the heated throw quickly.
To preheat the throw, turn on the controller by holding down ON/OFF button for five seconds and wait for the red number 8 to appear on the LED display.
Press the TEMP button to select preheat option ‘H’.
The temperature setting will only remain at ‘H’ for 1 hour then revert to temperature setting 1.
Once you are warm enough, turn the controller down to setting of your choice.
DO NOT leave the heated throw on setting ‘H’ or ‘8’ while on your body.
NOTE: The heated throw may not feel warm to touch unless it is wrapped around your body. Areas of the throw not in contact will stay cool.

5.3 Electrical Field Eff ect
When using the heated throw, some people may be susceptible to a tingling sensation when alone or when touching someone else using the heated throw. This “tingling” feeling is known as an “electric field effect” and is occasionally known to happen across all makes and brands of heated throws. It is caused by the current flowing through the element creating an Electromagnetic Field (EMF). Some people are more susceptible to feeling this EMF tingling sensation than others. This is no cause for concern and is in no way an electric shock.
