Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions

Sunbeam is very safety conscious when designing and manufacturing consumer products, but it is essential that the product user also exercise care when using an electrical appliance.

Listed below are precautions which are essential for the safe use of an electrical appliance:

• Read carefully and save all the instructions provided with an appliance.

• Always turn the power off at the power outlet before you insert or remove a plug. Remove by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.

• Turn the power off and remove the plug when the appliance is not in use and before cleaning.

• Do not use your appliance with an extension cord unless this cord has been checked and tested by a qualified technician or service person.

• Always use your appliance from a power outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked on the appliance.

• Close supervision is necessary when your appliance is being used by children or infirm persons.

• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Never leave an appliance unattended while in use.

• Do not use an appliance for any purpose other than its intended use.

• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas flame, electric element or on a heated oven.

Do not place on top of any other appliance.

• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang over the edge of a table or bench top or touch any hot surface.

• Do not operate any electrical appliance with a damaged cord or after the appliance has been damaged in any manner. If damage is suspected, return the appliance to the nearest

Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre for examination, repair or adjustment.

• For additional protection, Sunbeam recommend the use of a residual current device (RCD) with a tripping current not exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit supplying power to your appliances.

• Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid unless recommended.

• Appliances are not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote control system.

If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance, please visit www.sunbeam.com.au or contact the Sunbeam Consumer Service Line.

Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.

Sunbeam’s SleepPerfect

®

Technology

Temperature sensitive, fast-heating elements

All Sunbeam Safe & Sound electric blankets feature our exclusive SleepPerfect ® technology. This technology uses a unique heating element that adjusts the heat level of your electric blanket to maintain your selected setting.

A built-in microprocessor continually senses changes in room and body temperature and adjusts the power input accordingly, to provide a constant level of comfort.

The unique flexible heating element allows the fabric to drape around you, enabling the heated throw to be used on the lounge or your favourite arm chair.

This unique element also heats up to reach your selected temperature in just 10 minutes, so there’s no need for hours of preheating.

Nine levels of safety protection

Nine levels of total safety protection make

Sunbeam's Safe & Sound range safer than any other electric blanket. A builtin microprocessor constantly senses the resistance of the heating wire and adjusts the power input accordingly. It senses any rise in temperature and reduces the power supply to prevent overheating.

In the unlikely event of a fault, the microprocessor senses the abnormal operation and automatically cuts off power to the blanket.

A second microprocessor acts as a back up should the first fail.

For additional safety protection, all Safe &

Sound electric blankets contain a thermal back up fuse that is independent of the blanket control. It detects any abnormal temperature variations in the heating element and automatically switches the blanket off to prevent overheating.

Sunbeam’s exclusive SleepPerfect ® technology continually senses and adjusts to changes in your room and body temperature to maintain your selected heat setting. So when the temperature drops outside, you’ll stay safe and warm.

Plush microfleece fabric

The soft microfleece fabric will keep you cosy and comfortable, wherever you are.

Machine washable

The detachable control and waterproof heating element make your electric throw safe to machine wash and tumble dry.

For instructions on how to launder your Safe

Using your heated throw

Using your heated throw

Your heated throw can be used on the lounge or in your favourite chair, providing cosy comfort wherever you need it. It can even be used on futons, adjustable beds and waterbeds.

Connecting the control

With the control set to the off position, insert the control connector into the socket, making sure it is firmly clicked into position. Plug the control into a 230-240V power outlet and turn the power on.

Note: ensure that the control is connected to the heated throw before inserting the plug into the power outlet. Connecting the power before attaching the control to the blanket will replicate a power interruption and activate the safety system, preventing the throw from heating.

Caution: keep the control away from heating sources such as heaters and lamps. Do not cover the control.

Using your heated throw

Your heated throw is supplied with a 9 heat control. The settings on the temperature dial are recommended for use as follows:

1 – 3 Low, gentle heat for all night use

4 – 6 Medium heat

7 – 9 High heat, for preheating only

Use the high heat settings to preheat the throw only. Do not use your heated throw on these settings for more than 30 minutes.

If you find the control connector plug is not properly fitted to the heated throw, switch the power off at the power outlet, securely attach the control connector plug to the heated throw, and then switch the power back on.

2. Check that the power cord is connected to the power outlet and the power is switched on.
