• To avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out, this electric blanket must not be connected to an external switching device, such as a timer, or a circuit that is regularly switched on and off.

• This electric blanket is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised or have been given instruction concerning the use of the electric blanket by a person responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the electric blanket.

• Children under the age of 3 are not to use this electric blanket due to their inability to react to heat.

• This electric blanket is intended for household and indoor use only, not for commercial or industrial use.

• Always unplug this electric blanket when not in use.

• Check the electric blanket for visible signs of damage before use. If it is damaged, do not use the electric blanket.

• It is recommended that this electric blanket is plugged directly into the electrical outlet. An undamaged extension cord may be used if used in a safe manner.
