Safeguard Overheat Protection System

Fitting and positioning Instructions

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 induce a rapid rise in temperature to constitute a hazard the Overheat Protection System should intervene by cutting off the supply current before the temperature reaches the point at which damage or injury may occur.

Your blanket must only be used as an underblanket! and not above the occupant of the bed.

In the event of the Overheat Protection System operating, the blanket will cease to function. WARNING: No attempt should be made to repair the blanket or controller as the specialised components are not generally available. The fact that this blanket incorporates the Overheat Protection System does not absolve the user from observing these instructions.

Each blanket is fitted with 3 tie tapes, position the blanket as above, ensuring the pillow area is clear, pass tie A under the mattress corner and pass through the two centre eyelets and back under the mattress corner and tie off to the opposite loop. (Do not stretch the tape to tightly. Allow some give’ to avoid edge distortion. Ensure knots are not tied too tightly so that they can be undone easily). (see Fig 1. below) Repeat the above for tape B at the head of the blanket.

Washing Instructions Warning:

Place the underblanket fleece side up on the mattress with the two control connectors at the pillow end of the bed or at the bottom of the bed ( the cable from the control to the blanket is long enough for both) making sure it is not underneath the pillows and between 8 - 15 cm from the bottom of the mattress smooth out any packing folds.

Pass the centre tape C underneath the mattress and tie to opposite loop.

Do NOT dry Clean

Make sure the blanket is not rucked or creased after fitting.

Do NOT Iron Before washing ensure that all controls are disconnected from the blanket. Unplug the controller Detach controller by squeezing clips (A) & pulling Connector (B)

Fig 2. The underblanket is now fitted, lay the bottom sheet on top of the underblanket and continue to make the bed as normal. Do not place the control(s) or flexible electrical cord on top of the blanket or underneath the mattress or pillow. Always route the cable under the bed. Always keep your control(s) uncovered and outside the bed. Your blanket must always be used with the fitted Controller as it is part of the Safeguard Overheat Protection system. It is normal for the lead from the blanket to the Controller to become warm as this is part of the heater protection circuit extended to the controller.

NB.

It is quite normal for the Controller to become warm during use as the components encased are part of the heat protection circuit.

Dual Control models On dual models, users are able to control their own side of the bed with individual controls, tailoring individual temperatures to independent needs. Each side of the blanket has a completely separate element and each is supplied by its own independent mains lead, a 13 amp plug on each lead is essential. Do not connect both flexible leads to one 13amp plug! The two leads should preferable plugged into individual sockets, however if only one socket is accessible, then a multi adaptor should be used. 6
