Why is my throw not heating up?

Check that the control On/Off switch is set to on. Ensure the control connector is fully clicked into the throw. Verify the power cord is plugged in and switched on. The 3-hour auto-off may have activated; press the Power/Standby button to reset.

Can I use this throw on an adjustable bed?

Yes, it is suitable for adjustable beds, futons, and waterbeds. Ensure the cord does not become trapped or rucked (e.g., in hinges). Use as an overblanket only.

How do I wash and care for my electric throw?

Unplug the control before cleaning. Machine wash on wool/delicates cycle below 40°C with mild detergent, or hand wash. Do not wring. Line dry or tumble dry low for 15 minutes maximum. Ensure sockets are completely dry before reconnecting.

What is SleepPerfect technology?

SleepPerfect is Sunbeam's exclusive technology featuring a unique heating element and microprocessor that continuously adjusts heat to maintain your selected setting, compensating for room and body temperature changes. It heats up in about 10 minutes.

Is the throw safe to leave on overnight?

The throw has a 3-hour auto-off safety feature. Do not use high heat settings (5-6) for more than 30 minutes. The appliance is not intended for use by very young children (0-3 years) or persons insensitive to heat.

What should I do if my throw stops heating unexpectedly?

First, check the control connection and power supply. If the safety system has tripped (e.g., due to power interruption), unplug, reconnect the control, and plug back in. If it still fails, contact Sunbeam customer service for inspection.

Can I use an extension cord?

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, return the appliance to the nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre for examination, repair or adjustment.
• 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.

Safety Precautions for your Electric Throw

• Do not switch the throw rug on if moist or wet.
• Do not use pins, needles, safety pins or other sharp items on your electric throw.
• Examine periodically for signs of wear or damage on the throw rug cords. If there are such signs, or the throw rug has been misused, return it to an authorised service agent for inspection.
• Only use your electric throw with the controls supplied or marked equivalent.
• Not to be used by very young children (0-3 years), infirm persons, or persons insensitive to heat.
• The appliance is not to be used by young children over the age of three unless the controls have been pre-set by a parent or guardian, or unless the child has been adequately instructed on how to operate the controls safely.

• Ensure that the electric throw is switched off and unplugged after use.

• This electric throw is not intended for use in hospitals.

• If appliance is used on an adjustable bed, check that the throw rug and cord do not become trapped or rucked, for example in hinges.
• When storing the appliance allow it to cool down before folding.
• Do not crease the appliance by placing items on top of it during storage.
• Should your appliance suffer a thermal or fuse link rupture (normally identified when the throw rug stops heating) please return it to the manufacturer or agent for repair or replacement.
• This appliance must not be used by persons insensitive to heat and other very vulnerable persons who are unable to react to overheating.
• Children under the age of three are not to use this appliance due their inability to react to overheating.

Sunbeam's SleepPerfect® Technology

Temperature sensitive, fast-heating elements

All Sunbeam Feel Perfect electric throws feature our exclusive SleepPerfect® 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

Nine levels of total safety protection make Sunbeam's Feel Perfect range safer than any other electric throw. 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

Check that the On/Off switch located on the back of the control is set to off.

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 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

Your heated throw is supplied with a 6 heat control. Press the temperature button to toggle through each heat setting.

1 - 2 Low, gentle heat
3 - 4 Medium heat
5 – 6 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 Auto Off

Your electric throw will automatically turn off after 3 hours. Simply press the Power/ Standby button to reactivate.

Troubleshooting

Should your heated throw fail to heat

1. Check that the On/Off switch located on the back of the control is set to the On position.

2. 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.

3. Check that the power cord is connected to the power outlet and the power is switched on.

4. Check that the safety auto off feature hasn't been activated. The safety auto off feature turns off the throw after 3 hours for peace of mind and energy savings. Simply press the Power/ Standby button to reactivate.

Care and cleaning

This Feel Perfect throw features waterproof heating elements, making them fully immersible and safe to wash by hand or machine.

Before cleaning your throw, ensure that the control is turned off, and that the control is then unplugged from the 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 remove excess water by compressing between two towels. Do not wring.

Machine washing

Take your 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 40°C. Do not use high speed or extra spin cycles.

Line drying

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

Machine drying

Tumble dry your 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. Do not dry with a hairdryer or heater.

Storing your throw

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