Care -Read the manufacturer's instructions before using the blanket.

-Do not use an electric blanket for an infant, handicapped person or one who is insensitive to heat.

-Keep small children and pets away from the blanket. It is an electrical appliance that can be damaged.

-Turn off the blanket when it is not in use.

-Do not tuck-in, bunch-up, or fold over the wired area of the blanket.

-Do not lie on top of an electric blanket with the control on because there is a possibility of getting burned or damaging the electrical wiring.

-Do not use pins, they may damage the wiring.

-Do not dry-clean electric blankets; follow manufacturer's care instructions.

-To prevent damage to wiring, never store anything heavy on top of blanket, and never put moth repellents in with it.

Laundering Laundering an electric blanket is as easy as laundering a regular blanket. Follow the specific manufacturer's care instructions for best results.

Machine wash for a limited period of time; generally one to five minutes is suggested. Dissolve detergent in the suggested water temperature before placing the blanket in the washer; do not use bleach. Evenly distribute the blanket in the washing machine. Use a regular cold water rinse and spin cycle. If a conventional washing machine is used, do not use wringer to extract the water. OR

Hand wash by soaking the blanket for 15 minutes in detergent and lukewarm water. Squeeze the suds through the blanket. Rinse in cold water at least twice. Do not vigorously twist or wring the blanket.

Machine dry by preheating the dryer at medium temperature. Add the blanket and allow it to tumble dry for ten minutes. Most manufacturers suggest the damp blanket finish drying by draping the blanket over two parallel lines. Use both hand to straighten and pull into shape.

Electric mattress pads and footwarmer pads probably can be washed in similar manner, BUT follow directions on care tag that came with the articles.
