 Safety Precautions for your
Electric Blanket
• Do not use your electric blanket on or under a
waterbed.
• Do not use on an adjustable bed or futon.
• Do not switch the blanket on if moist or wet.
• Do not allow the blanket heating wires to lie over
the edge of the mattress.
• Do not place your power cord or connector under
any stress or strain. Never jam or bend the power
cord over a hard surface such as a bed frame.
The power cord should always remain free from
obstructions.
• Do not use pins, needles, safety pins or other
sharp items on your electric blanket.
• Do not dry clean your electric blanket.
• Use only as an underblanket.
• Examine periodically for signs of wear or damage
on the blanket cords. If there are such signs, or
the blanket has been misused, return it to an
authorised service agent for inspection.
• Each day check that the electric blanket is
smooth, flat and properly secured on the
mattress. Do not use if the blanket is folded,
rucked or creased.
• Only use your electric blanket with the controls
supplied or marked equivalent.
• Do not use with infants, infirm persons, or
persons insensitive to heat.
• Parents or guardians must preset the controls
for young children, unless the child has been
adequately instructed on how to operate the
control safely.
• Children under the age of three are not to use
this appliance due to their inability to react to
overheating.
• Turn the power off and remove the plug when the
appliance is not in use and before cleaning.
• This electric blanket is not intended for use in
hospitals.
• When storing the appliance, allow it to cool down
before folding.
• Do not crease the appliance by placing items on
top of it during storage.
• Should your appliance suffer a thermal or fuse
link rupture (normally identified when the
blanket stops heating) please return it to the
manufacturer or agent for repair or replacement.
• Heat settings 1-4 are for continuous or all night
use. If this appliance is slept on with the controls
set to a higher temperature, the user may suffer
skin burns or heat stroke.

 Using your electric blanket (continued)
Before first use
Before using your electric blanket for the
first time, we recommend that you switch
your blanket to the maximum heat setting
for two to three hours before bedtime.
This will evaporate the moisture in the
mattress, leaving you with a dry, healthy bed.
Everyday use
With normal bedding, your electric blanket
may require up to two hours of preheating on
the highest setting before bedtime. Sunbeam
recommends that you use only settings 1, 2,
3 or 4 for all-night use.

Care and cleaning
All Dreamland electric blankets feature
waterproof heating elements, making them
fully immersible and safe to wash by hand
or machine.
Before cleaning your electric blanket, ensure
that the controls are unplugged from the
blanket.
Spot cleaning
Sponge the affected area using a neutral
wool detergent or mild soap flakes mixed with
lukewarm water. Sponge twice with clean
water to remove detergent. Remove excess
water by compressing the wet area between
two towels.
Hand washing
Wash the blanket in lukewarm water with
a neutral wool detergent or mild soap flakes.
Soak for five minutes, then gently squeeze
the soapy water through the fabric.
Rinse thoroughly in clean, lukewarm water
then drain excess water from the blanket.
Do not wring.
Machine washing
Take your electric blanket to a commercial
laundry or wash in a domestic washing
machine (svpermitting). Wash on WOOL
or DELICATES cycle with a neutral wool
detergent or mild soap flakes, below 40°C.
Do not use high speed or extra spin cycles.
Line drying
Drape the blanket across several lines of
your clothesline, and try to avoid direct heat.
Do not use pegs on the wired areas. Do not
dry with a hairdryer or heater. Ensure that the
blanket and control sockets are completely
dry before using again.
Machine drying
Tumble dry your blanket on LOW setting for
15 minutes MAXIMUM. Smooth the blanket
by gently pulling any creases out of the
fabric. Line dry to ensure the blanket and
control sockets are completely dry before use.
Do not dry with a hairdryer or heater.
Storing your blanket
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. Avoid pressing
sharp creases into the blanket.
Do not place heavy items on top of your
electric blanket when storing.

Check the control is plugged into the electric blanket, and ensure it is clicked
securely into position. If the control connector is not properly fitted to the
blanket, switch the power off at the power outlet, securely attach the control
connector plug to the blanket and then switch the power back on.
Check the power cord is connected to the power outlet and that the power is
switched on.
If you are using a powerboard, check the powerboard is working.
Remember for double, queen and king blankets there are 2 controls. Ensure
The electric blanket both are plugged into the blanket, and both cords are plugged into a power

Check the on/off slide switch on the control is switched to ‘on’.
If only one side of the blanket is working, it may simply be because the control
rather than the blanket is not working.
To help resolve your issue quickly, before calling Sunbeam Customer Service,
please check the control. Simply swap the “good controller” to the “faulty” side
of the blanket. Wait 20 minutes to see if the blanket is heating. If it does heat,
the first controller is faulty. If the blanket still does not heat, the blanket may be
faulty. Then call Sunbeam Customer Service line, and they will be able to assist.
