To help you stay safe this winter, we\u2019ve come up with a guide to how to safely use and maintain your electric blankets. Electric blankets are a common cause of fires and burns in the home, so follow these simple steps to keep you and your property safe.<\/p>\n<h3>Follow the manufacturer\u2019s instructions closely<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s important that you only use your electric blanket according to the manufacturer\u2019s instructions. You should read these in detail and follow all of their guidance.<\/p>\n<p>Never use an electric blanket for a purpose that isn\u2019t what the manufacturer intended, such as by using under-blankets as a cover blanket.<\/p>\n<h3>Make sure you use the blanket safely<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s essential that you follow all of the instructions to use your blanket safely. Don\u2019t use the blanket when it\u2019s folded or creased or use pins to hold the blanket in place. Don\u2019t use electric blankets at the same time as hot water bottles, and make sure you don\u2019t touch the blanket with wet hands.<\/p>\n<p>Be careful when using an electric blanket. Make sure that it\u2019s safely and securely fitted onto the bed, and isn\u2019t going to move or slip off.<\/p>\n<h3>Be careful when children are using an electric blanket<\/h3>\n<p>When using electric blankets on children\u2019s beds, make sure that the controls have been pre-set to the appropriate level. Make sure that the electric blanket is set to switch off on a timer, or ensure that you will switch it off when it\u2019s warmed up.<\/p>\n<p>For older children, check that your child is able to use the electric blanket safely. Take time to explain the instructions, and explain that the blanket should only be operated in a safe manner.<\/p>\n<h3>Carry out routine visual checks<\/h3>\n<p>You should inspect your electric blanket regularly to make sure it\u2019s still in good condition. You should replace your blanket with a new one if the fabric is worn, frayed, or discoloured or if any wires are poking through the fabric. Also, if there is any damage to the cable, plug, or control, or if the control is making a buzzing noise or giving off a smell.<\/p>\n<p>If you think your electric blanket may be damaged or faulty, don\u2019t use it. Contact the manufacturer for advice, or speak to a professional electrician to check the blanket.<\/p>\n<h3>Store and dispose of your blanket safely<\/h3>\n<p>You should store your blanket according to the manufacturer\u2019s instructions. Don\u2019t use mothproofing chemicals or store anything heavy on top of it, as this may damage the electric blanket.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re disposing of a blanket, don\u2019t simply throw it away with general domestic waste. Electric blankets should be disposed of safely. Use your nearest recycling facility which accepts electrical appliances.<\/p>\n<p>If your blanket is older than 10 years, you should consider disposing of it and purchasing a new one. The electrical standards for electric blankets have changed over the years, so it\u2019s worth looking into how the standards have changed.<\/p>\n<p>Stay safe this winter! Use Electrical Fire Safety Week as an opportunity to make sure your electrical appliances are safe and properly maintained.
