Item Details

Sunbeam Safe & Sound Heated Throw

ILC Reference NO 21:31:013
Item sourced from ILC SA database


Sunbeam Safe and South Heated Throw

Short Description
A heated throw rug made from microfleece, able to be plugged into mains power. It is available in two colours in one size only. Suitable for adult use, or children with adult supervision.

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


More Details
The element heats up to the selected temperature in approx 10 minutes. The heating element is flexible to allow the fabric to be draped rather than used flat. The heated throw can be used on futons, electrically adjustable beds, specialised pressure care chairs (e.g. comfort chairs) and waterbeds.

A choice of nine heat settings allows the desired temperature to be selected. The setting dial illuminates to enable adjustment in the dark.

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 the heated throw on the high setting for more than 30 minutes.

Set the controls to the off position before inserting the plug into the mains power socket. 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.

Safety: The heated throw has an in-built microprocessor which 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 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. The throw also contains 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.

Storing: Roll or fold the throw loosely and store in a blanket bag or the bag it was supplied in. Avoid pressing sharp creases into the heated throw. Do not place heavy items on top of the throw when storing.

Cleaning Requirements

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 throw 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 from the throw. Do not wring.

Machine Washing
The throw is suitable for commercial laundry or washing in a domestic washing machine (size permitting). 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.

Machine Drying
Tumble dry the throw on the lowest heat setting for 15 minutes maximum. Smooth the throw by gently pulling any creases out of the fabric. Line dry to ensure the throw and control sockets are completely dry before use. Hang the throw over several lines and do not use pegs on the heating elements. Do not dry with a hairdryer or heater.
