Generation and Prevention of Electric Blanket Static

After the electric blanket is powered on, some users will feel an electric short when their dry bodies slightly touch the blanket. After their bodies cling to the blanket, they do not have such a feeling. This is called electric induction. When the heating wire is powered on, an AC magnetic field is generated. Due to the AC magnetic field, electric charge is gathered on the surface of the blanket. When our skin touches the blanket with static, electric charge is discharged.

Static is a natural phenomenon. Due to friction, underclothes made of chemical fiber, carpets, cushions and wall paper will generate static. Home appliances will also generate static when they are being used.

The following methods of eliminating static are simple and easily used:

1. When indoor air humidity is less than 30%, static is easily generated. If humidity is increased to 45%, static is hard to be generated. As a result, in dry weather, sprinkle water in the house or place one to two basins to hold water at the places where sprinkling water is inapplicable to increase indoor air humidity.
2. Static particulates are generated around screens of TV sets and computers. These particulates will adsorb floating dust and be absorbed on to our skins. As a result, wash your hands and face before going to sleep.
3. It is recommended that elders, children, and static-sensitive persons should wear underclothes completely made of cotton in winter, and frequently bathe and change clothes to avoid influence of static.
4. Walk barefoot helps discharge of static on the body surface. As a result, walk barefoot before going to the bed, which effectively eliminates static on the body surface.
5. On the electric blanket, bed sheets or bedspreads completely made of cotton are preferred.

4 Description

The heating blanket is equipped with a digital controller unit.

• 1 - Five temperature level LED indicator
• 2 - Timer indicator (1 hour up to 8 hours)
• 3 - Power LED
• 4 - ON/OFF switch
• 5 - Cancel button: will switch off the heating
• 6 - Timer button: set the heating times (from 1 up to 8 hours)
• 7 - Temperature set button: select the temperature level (5 levels)

- Check that the control unit switch (4) is in the OFF-position (0) before connecting it to the mains socket.

5 Connecting to the mains

• The heating blanket plug and mains plug are fixed to the control unit.
• Connect the heating blanket plug to the heating blanket connector.
• Connect the mains plug to the mains socket (230V AC/50Hz).

WARNING

The mains socket must be close and easy accessible.

6 Using the over blanket

Is is advised to preheat the electric blanket for 30 minutes before use.
- Switch the controller to the ON-position (1) & the power indicator LED (3) will illuminate.
- Push the temperature button (7) until all 5 temperature level LED's (1) are illuminated (Maximum heat). It takes at least 30 minutes to get to maximum heat.
- Once it has reached maximum heat, you can alter the heat level by pushing the temperature key (7),

IMPORTANT

To prevent the blanket from getting too hot, the heat level will automatically reduce to a low heat level after being on maximum heat for one hour. When the blanket is likely to be used for an extended period, it is suggested that the controller should be adjusted to low heat level 1 or 2 (1 or 2 LED's illuminate).

7 Times modes

The controller has a timer function (+/-1 to +/-8 hours).
- Push the timer button repeatedly to select the desired time (example - 3 times to use the blanket for +/-3 hours).
- To cancel the timer, push the cancel button (5). All settings will reset.
This table indicates which Timer indicator LED's (2) will illuminate, depending on the selected time.

Corresponding Timer indicator LED on
Selected time 1 hr 2 hr 3hr 4hr 5hr 6hr 7hr 8hr 1hr											...

8 Reset

If the Timer indicator (2) lights (LED's) alternately flash, check the connector (socket) and ensure the controller is fully connected to the blanket. Press the cancel button (5) to cancel the flashing and set to the required function again.

If the indicator lights (LED's) simultaneously flash, check if the throw/over blanket is folded or tucked. Spread the throw/over blanket and press the cancel button (5). After a few minutes, set to the required function again.

If you cannot cancel the flashing, unplug the blanket from the mains and check the lead is not damaged.

If the flashing continues, the appliance must not be used and be checked by a qualified repairer.
