How to Control a Dual Electric Blanket

A dual electric blanket is a type of blanket which is secured to a bed and provides heat from below, in contrast to a standard blanket which lays on top. If you are using a dual electric blanket, there are two heat zones that are available. One zone is for the body and the other is for the feet. Both of the these zones have settings that are adjusted by using the controller unit.
