Short Description

The Safe & Sound heated throw is made from microfleece and is able to be plugged into mains power. It is available in two colours but in one size only. It is suitable for adults or children with adult supervision.

Method Of Use

Connecting the control
With the control set to the off position, 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 blanket will replicate a power interruption and activate the safety system, preventing the throw from heating.

More Details

The heated throw has SleepPerfect technology. This technology uses a patented heating element that adjusts the heat level of an electric blanket to maintain a selected setting. An in built microprocessor continually senses changes in room and body temperature and adjusts the power input accordingly. The element also heats up to reach the selected temperature in approx 10 minutes.

The flexible, heating element allows the fabric to be draped rather than used flat if desired. The heated throw can be used on futons, adjustable beds and waterbeds.

A choice of nine heat settings allows the desired temperature to be selected. The setting dial illuminates to enable easy adjustment in the dark.

The settings on the temperature dial are recommended for use as follows:
1 - 3 Low, gentle heat for all night use
4 - 6 Medium heat
7 - 9 High heat, for preheating only
Use the high heat settings to preheat the throw only. Do not use your heated throw on these settings for more than 30 minutes.

Safety Features
The heated throw has nine levels of safety protection.
The in built 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 event of a fault, the microprocessor senses the abnormal operation and automatically cuts off power to the blanket. A second microprocessor acts as a back up should the first fail.
For additional safety protection, all Safe & Sound electric blankets contain a thermal, back up fuse that is independent of the blanket control. It detects any abnormal temperature variations in the heating element and automatically switches the blanket off to prevent overheating.

Factors To Consider

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

Maintenance

Cleaning
Do not dry clean the electric throw.

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 throw 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 from the throw. Do not wring.

Machine Washing
Take your electric throw to a commercial laundry or wash in a domestic washing machine (size permitting). Wash on "Wool" or "Delicates" cycle with a neutral wool detergent or mild soap flakes below 40C. Do not use high speed or extra spin cycles.

Machine Drying
Tumble dry the throw on low setting for 15 minutes maximum. Smooth the throw by gently pulling any creases out of the fabric. Line dry to ensure the throw and control sockets are completely dry before use. Hang the throw over several lines and do not use pegs on the heating elements. Do not dry with a hairdryer or heater.

Storing your blanket
Roll or fold the throw loosely and store in a blanket bag or the bag it was supplied in. Avoid pressing sharp creases into the heated throw. Do not place heavy items on top of the throw when storing.

Standards

Some assistive technology needs to meet Australian or other standards. Standards may relate to materials, manufacturing and installation. Products that meet Australian or international standards will have written certification. To find out if a product meets Australian Standards ask the supplier to show you the certificate.
