OVERVIEW OF YOUR GOLDAIR ELECTRIC BLANKET

Your Goldair electric blanket is equipped with a 3 heat control. Two controls are supplied with Queen and

King size electric blankets.

3 HEAT CONTROL

The control features a rotary switch to adjust the heat setting, plus a setting indicator light for easy

adjustment in the dark.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using your electric blanket for the first time, we recommend that you switch your blanket to the

maximum setting for two to three hours before bedtime then reduce to your desired heat setting when

sleeping.

EVERYDAY USE

With normal use your electric blanket will require 15 minutes of preheating on the maximum setting before

bedtime. We recommend that you turn the blanket down to low when sleeping.

STORING YOUR BLANKET

Always allow the blanket to cool before storing. Your blanket can remain on the bed all year round as a

comfortable under-blanket. Simply remove the controls and store until winter. If you wish to remove the

blanket from your bed when not in use, roll or fold it loosely and store in a blanket bag or the bag it was

supplied in. Avoid pressing sharp creases into the blanket.

1 Low, gentle heat

2 Medium Heat

3 High Heat

FITTING YOUR GOLDAIR FITTED ELECTRIC BLANKET

Place the electric blanket on the mattress with the skirt on top of the blanket. Ensure the end of the

blanket with controls is at the top end of the bed. See Fig 3.

Once the blanket is in the correct position fit the skirt over the mattress.

Connect the control units into the socket's on the blanket and plug into a power point and turn on. The cord

and control switches must be kept outside the bed and away from external heating sources, such as heaters

or bedside lamps.
