Operation
Auto Off
This controller is fitted with a 3 hour count down auto OFF timer, which starts to
countdown from when your heat setting has been selected, and will switch off after
3 hours.
Note:
Once a heat setting has been selected and the switch is powered
ON
, the
countdown timer will not be affected by adjusting the heat level.
The timer will only be reset to 3 hours by sliding the control knob to “0” or after
being powered
OFF
and then back
ON
.
When the controller has timed out, the element will turn off. Slide the control knob
to the “O” position to reset.
Preheat
At normal ambient temperature you should allow at least 10-30 minutes on heat
setting “5-6” to preheat.
You may use the heated throw sooner, while it's still warming up, however
DO NOT
leave the blanket on setting "5-6" while on your body.
Note:
A cold room that has not been used for some time may require a greater
length of time to pre-heat.
Overheat Protection
The heated throw is fitted with numerous overheat safeguard systems. This offers
protection against overheating or damage to the elements by disengaging the
power to the elements before overheating hazards occur.
Should there ever be a problem with the heating element in the heated throw, it will
automatically close down the operation and the heated throw will turn off.
The controller must not be covered. The controller has built in protection, so that
if the controller overheats, or the heating element is damaged, it will automatically
close down the operation permanently.
If overheating occurs, the heated throw is permanently damaged and cannot be
used again. A replacement will be needed.
NOTE:
Keep the controller away from external heat sources. i.e. heater, fireplace etc.
