Switch 11 1100 Rev 1
Electrical requirements
Check that the voltage on the rating
label of your appliance corresponds with
your house electricity supply which must be
A.C. (Alternating Current).
If the socket outlets in your home are not
suitable for the plug supplied with this
appliance, the plug should be removed and
the appropriate one fitted.
WARNING: The plug removed from
the mains lead, if severed, must be
destroyed as a plug with bared flexible
cord is hazardous if engaged into a live
socket outlet.
Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug
require changing, a 3 amp BS1362 fuse
must be fitted.
This appliance does not need to be
earthed. It is a double insulated product.
Before use
Before using this appliance ensure that
the voltage indicated on the product
corresponds with the mains voltage in your
home. If you are in any doubt about your
supply, ask your electrical dealer or local
electricity company.
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
Each side of the blanket has a
completely separate element and each is
supplied with its own independant mains
lead. A 13amp plug on each lead is
essential.
Do not connect both leads to one
13amp plug.
The two leads should preferably be
plugged into individual sockets. However, if
only one socket is accessible, then a dual
adaptor should be used.
WARNING: Only the electric blanket
should be connected to the dual

adaptor. If you are unsure, 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.
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.
In the event of the OVERHEAT SYSTEM
operating, the blanket will cease to function.
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.
