SoftHeat 27210301-T-SL Twin Micro-Fleece Heated Blanket
Set up Procedure for Blanket and Mattress Pad
-
Place the blanket or mattress pad on the bed with the “Use and Care” instruction label facing up.
-
Blanket: Place the power supply under the bed on the floor. Blanket connectors should hang off the edge of the mattress. Do not tuck cords between the mattress and the box springs.
Mattress Pad: Be sure to locate the corners properly. On the mattress pad there should be about 4” of the top fabric hanging over the mattress edge so that the label and connector(s) are located on the vertical surface. This will allow the warming product to fit the mattress properly and keep the connectors away from your head, hands, and arms. -
Place the controllers near the head of the bed. Queen or King Sizes include an additional power supply and controller as each side operates independently.
-
Blanket : Attach blanket connector cords from the controllers to the connectors at the bottom of the blanket. Do not tuck cords between the mattress and box springs.
Mattress Pad: Attach pad connector cords from the controllers to the connectors at the head of the mattress pad. Do not tuck cords between the mattress and box springs. -
Plug in the power supply cord. Use a properly rated UL-listed power strip extension cord if needed.
-
Choose the most comfortable heat setting. The higher the number is set, the higher the amount of heat.
-
Push the button to turn on. Your blanket or mattress pad will then go into “prewarm” mode and will continue to prewarm until it reaches your dial setting.
Your warming product will then continue to heat at your dial setting all night.
Set up Procedure for Warming Throw
- Make sure the side of the throw with the “use and care” instruction label faces up.
- Attach the connector cord from the controller to the bottom of the throw.
- Make sure that the cords or parts of the heating wire grid are not pinched or tucked-in anywhere.
- Plug in the power supply cord. Use a properly-rated UL listed power-strip extension cord if needed.
- Refer to diagram 7 and 8 on how to operate the controller.
Important Information for Warming Throw
This product is not a heated pad. It will not feel warm to your hand’s touch. This warming product is guaranteed to keep you warm. You must sleep on it to experience the warmth.
- When ON and operating properly, the controller will be slightly warm to the touch. The higher the dial is set, the warmer it will be. This is completely normal and safe.
- The power supply or transformer will be warm to the touch when in use and slightly warm when warming product is off. This is normal.
- This warming product is for home use only—it is not intended for hotel or other institution use.
Care Instructions
-
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS NEVER DRY CLEAN OR USE BLEACH ON YOUR WARMING BLANKET, MATTRESS PAD OR THROW!
-
MACHINE WASHING
Disconnect all cord(s). NEVER submerge cords, power supply, or control unit. Place the textile portion in the washing machine and fill it with warm water. Add a small amount of detergent and then let soak for 5 minutes. Agitate on the delicate or gentle cycle for two minutes. Spin on normal speed. Fill the tub for a cool rinse. Agitate for one minute and spin dry. NEVER put your warming product through a wringer. -
HAND WASHING
Washing your warming product by hand is the best way to make it last. To do this, disconnect all cord(s). Wash your textile separately by hand in a tub of lukewarm (100°F) water using a small amount of mild laundry soap or detergent. Soak the warming product for 5 minutes. Next, gently work the warming product up and down for five more minutes. NEVER rub or scrub. Rinse thoroughly in cool water until all traces of soap or detergent are gone. Squeeze excess water out by hand.
NEVER twist your warming product. -
DRYING INSTRUCTIONS
NEVER USE COMMERCIAL DRYERS AT THE LAUNDROMAT – THEY MAY BE EXTRA HOT AND COULD DAMAGE THE WIRING. NEVER PLUG IN YOUR WARMING PRODUCT WHILE DAMP. DO NOT IRON YOUR BLANKET, THROW, OR MATTRESS PAD. -
MACHINE DRY
To machine dry, put your warming product into a dryer on low heat and allow to tumble until dry. Ensure that your warming product has enough room to tumble freely. -
LINE DRY
You can line dry your warming product simply by draping the warming product over two parallel clotheslines or a shower rod with the head and foot ends down. Do not reconnect warming products until they are completely dry. -
STORAGE
Store as you would any other warming product, folded in a dry place.

Troubleshooting
-
Q: The lamp on my controller does not light up.
A: Assure that all the wire connections are tight and that the power supplyv cord is connected to an “energized” socket (try a lamp to verify that the outlet is working properly). -
Q: The controller lamp is lit but the warming product does not heat up.
A: Test the warming product by folding it over on itself and turning the dial setting to HI. Ensure that the controller lamp is lit. After approximately five minutes, carefully feel between the layers. Never leave the warming product turned on and folded up for more than a few minutes. -
Q: I feel some warmth but not a lot. How warm should this warming product get?
A: This warming product will provide enough warmth to keep you quite comfortable even in an extremely cold room with only a light blanket on top. You should spend several nights experimenting with the heat settings until you find your personal comfort level. This warming product is not like a heating pad (this amount of heat would be too hot to use all night long). In normal operation, warming products do not feel hot to the touch. -
Q: Can I use a bedspread or comforter over my electric warming product?
A: You normally will not need more warmth than this warming product will provide. However, you may use any bedding you wish with this warming product except another electric mattress pad, electric blanket or a heating pad (overheating may occur). -
Q: My warming product works fine but then seems to shut off.
A: The 10-hour automatic shutoff feature may have activated. Simply push the ON button again and your warming product will heat for an additional ten hours or until you turn it off. If ten hours have not elapsed, check that all your connections are tight and the wall outlet is not turned off. -
Q: How much money will this warming product save me on my heating bill?
A: Your savings will depend upon how many degrees you turn your furnace thermostat down while sleeping. You should save at least 1% of your heating bill for every 1 degree you set your thermostat back at night. -
Q: Does this product have enough electromagnetic field to worry about?
A: This warming product uses direct current (from the power supply), not alternating current. While some scientists think AC electricity may cause certain health problems, DC electricity has never been known to pose any health problems. -
Q: What is low voltage?
A: Our warming products use between 14 and 18 volts depending upon the model. Other electric warming products in North America use 120 volts. It would be extremely unlikely, and indeed almost impossible, to receive an electrical shock from this low-voltage warming product. -
Q: Can I sit or lie on my electric warming product?
A: Just sitting or lying on the warming product will not harm it. Jumping on it or other similar abuse may damage it. -
Q: Why are my power supply and controller warm?
A: Heat is produced when the 120VAC from your wall outlet is transformed into a nonhazardous low-voltage current. This warmth is completely normal and is nothing to be concerned about. The power consumed is approximately 1 watt (much less than a typical night light). -
Q: My power supply sparked at the wall outlet when I plugged it in.
A: Yes, many electrical appliances will sometimes “snap” due to the inrush of electricity when first plugged in. This is completely normal and nothing to be concerned about.
