Functions

Before First Use

Remove any promotional material and packaging from the heated blanket. Ensure all parts are included as per the components section in this booklet.

Securing Your Fitted Heated Blanket

Unfold the heated blanket and lay it flat on the mattress, ensuring that the skirt is aligned with the corresponding mattress edges.

NOTE

Ensure that the heating wire section on the heated blankets is clear of any pillows and does not hang over the sides of the mattress.

NOTE

The heated blanket must not be wider than the mattress with which it is to be used. It is normal for a small section of the fitted skirt to be showing on top of a larger sized mattress.

Completely tuck the elastic of the blanket skirt under the mattress to secure.

When fitted to the mattress correctly, the controller inlet(s) should be facing upwards and positioned close to the top of the mattress close to where your shoulder would be when lying down.

The controller(s) and power supply cord must be situated outside of the bed coverings and located in a position that will prevent accidental damage to the controller housing and cords.

The heated blanket is an underblanket only. Never use as a top blanket over the occupant of the bed.

NOTE

Ensure that the blanket is stretched completely flat when placed on the mattress and creases or rucking is not evident.

CAUTION

No heating wire must be trapped or tucked into any part of the bed.

To Connect the Controller(s)

Check that the heated blanket controller is not connected to the power outlet before connecting.

Using the arrows on both parts as a guide, insert the controller connector into the inlet located on the heated blanket (see Fig. 1).

Ensure the connector is securely fastened in the inlet so that the locking clips are fully inserted and there is no gap between the two.

Insert the power plug into a 230V or 240V grounded outlet and switch on at the power outlet. Press the Power button to turn on the controller. The default Heat setting 6 and Timer 3 hours will illuminate on the LED display, flash 3 times then automatically commence heating and counting down.

If the LED screen displays 'F1', this is an indication that the connector may have a loose connection.

To correct, press and hold the Power button on the controller for 3 seconds to turn off, and then turn the power off at the outlet. Disconnect and reconnect the connector into the inlet, ensuring a correct fit.

NOTE

The connector fitting is purposely designed to only fit into the inlet from one direction. If there is a gap, or the connector does not fit properly into the inlet, do not force. Remove and try the other side.

To Detach the Controller(s)

The heated blanket comes with detachable controller(s) which must be removed when laundering the blanket or while storing when not in season.

Press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds to turn the controller off, then disconnect the controller from the power outlet.

Push inwards on the two locking clips on the controller connector to release and pull away from the inlet.

(see Fig. 3).

NOTE

When lying on a heated blanket, your body forms part of an electromagnetic field created by the blanket. Some people may feel a tingling sensation or subtle vibration as a result of this, or when touching someone else lying on the heated blanket. This is common to most heated blanket brands and only some people experience this effect. There is no cause for concern and the sensation is not an electric shock. All Kambrook heated blankets are quality tested in our Australian laboratories for safety, durability and performance and feature overheat protection as an additional safety feature.
