A The following people should NOT use the heated blanket, heated mattress pad
or warming throw:
• An infant
• A child

• A paraplegic

Q What do the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or (ETL) labels mean? What do either of these
labels mean about safety of Sunbeam warming products?
A Underwriters Laboratories (UL) develops product safety standards for a large range of
products and performs independent tests based on these standards. Products tested by UL
and which have passed all the safety standards are permitted to bear the UL label. Intertek
Testing Services (ETL) is a certified, independent testing organization that tests products in
accordance with UL safety standards and issues the ETL label for those products that meet
the relevant UL standards. All Sunbeam
® products are tested to UL standards and bear
either the UL or ETL label to indicate that the product meets or exceeds UL/ETL safety
standards for warming products.
Q I have heard that some warming products have EMFs.
What is this?
A EMF stands for Electromagnetic Field. This is an electrical field that surrounds any wire
that has current flowing along its length. Although several studies have been conducted to
evaluate the impact, EMFs have not been proven to be harmful. In any event, Sunbeam
® has
reduced the strength of EMFs in its blankets/mattress pads/throws to very low levels.
Q What do I do if my pet chews the cord, I lose my control or the control does not operate
properly?
A Please stop using the warming product immediately. Call our Consumer Service number
listed under How to Obtain Warranty Service and ask for instructions on how and where to
send the warming product.
Q My control feels warm to the touch. Is this a problem?
A No. The control will feel warm to the touch when functioning properly.
