BLANKET CARE

DON’T PUT ANYTHING ON TOP: Avoid putting anything on top of your electric blanket. Think of it as you do with other devices in your home that use electricity and heat, regardless of whether or not it’s turned on.

ALWAYS LAY IT FLAT ON THE BED: In the event your blanket is folded and turned on – whether accidentally or not – excess heat can build up and may cause the safety systems to render the blanket unusable.

STORE IT PROPERLY: Storing your blanket the right way is also important for your safety. You should put the blanket in a place where it won’t collect dust and lint.

BE CAREFUL WITH THE CORD: When storing or using electric blankets, you need to be mindful of the cords as well. It’s especially important to not fold cords on top of one another in the ‘on’ mode but also when the product is switched off. Improperly folding the cords could damage them and may cause the blanket to malfunction.
