If you are in any doubt about your supply, ask your electrical dealer or local electricity company. SAFEGUARD OVERHEAT PROTECTION SYSTEM Activation The system will remain dormant indefinitely as long as the blanket is operating in the normal temperature range. If for any reason the blanket is operated in an abnormal situation or condition which would otherwise have induced a rapid temperature rise high enough to constitute a hazard the OVERHEAT SYSTEM should intervene by cutting off the supply current before the temperature reaches the point at which damage may occur. It is normal for the lead from the blanket to the switch to become warm as this is part of the heater protection circuit extended to the switch. In the event of the OVERHEAT SYSTEM operating, the blanket will cease to function. WARNING: Do not attempt to use the blanket with controls other than those supplied with the unit as referred to on the rating label attached to the blanket. Dual control models On double dual models users are able to control their own side of the bed with individual controls, tailoring independent temperatures to independent needs. Each side of the blanket has a completely separate element and each is supplied with its own independent mains lead. However, if only one socket is accessible, then a muti adaptor should be used. WARNING: No attempt should be made to repair the blanket or have it repaired locally and the switch supplied must never be replaced since the specialised components are not generally available. The fact that this blanket incorporates the overheat system does not absolve the user from observing these instructions. WARNING: If you are unsure about electrical connections please contact a qualified engineer. It is quite normal for the switch to become warm as the components encased are part of the protection circuit. 4 UK Helpline 0870 060 2614 Ireland Helpline 1800 409119 75149 rev1 8/3/07 15:44 Page 5 Fitting the underblanket to the bed. · NOTE: This product can be used with any type of bedding including waterproof bed protectors.
