Using your Bambury's electric blanket is easy. First, spread it evenly on your queen - sized bed. Plug in the controllers and choose your desired heat setting using the raised dot indicators. You can use the dual controllers to set different temperatures for each side of the bed. When it's time to clean, simply detach the controllers and wash the blanket according to the care label. Always make sure the blanket is completely dry before using it again. Keep the blanket away from sharp objects to avoid damage. Don't fold the blanket tightly when storing it. Remember, the overheating safeguard system is there to protect you, but it's still important to use the blanket as directed. If you have any issues, refer to the 2 - year warranty.
