Thank you for purchasing the KickAss 24V / 12V Electric Blanket. We hope it brings you many years of comfort and warmth. To get the most out of your new product, read this manual carefully. AS WITH ALL ELECTRICAL PRODUCTS, CARELESSNESS OR MISUSE CAN RESULT IN OVERHEATING, FIRE AND SERIOUS INJURY. DO NOT OPERATE YOUR ELECTRIC BLANKET UNTIL YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES AND WARNINGS

• Always unplug the blanket before leaving the vehicle (many 24V / 12V power outlets continue drawing electricity when the engine is turned off, or when the key is removed from the ignition).
• Do not use this blanket for children under three years, pets, or anyone who cannot unplug the blanket if required.
• Do not use the blanket for more than two hours continuously.
• Do not use the blanket on anyone with a fever, or who may be sensitive to heat.
• Keep the bag and the power cord away from children and babies to avoid the dangers of suffocation or strangulation.
• Never use AC current to power the blanket.
• Use only with fused 24V / 12V DC power supply outlets.
• Do not close a door on the power cord or the blanket itself. This may result in a short circuit of either the blanket or the vehicle’s power supply outlet. It could also result in electrical shock or ?re.
• Do not use the blanket if it or the cord appears damaged or wet.
• Inspect the blanket frequently for rips and tears, and if any appear do not use it.
• Do not immerse the plug in water or any other liquids. The blanket can be washed, but the plug and controller are not waterproof.
• Disconnect the cord and controller before washing. Dry the blanket completely prior to use.
• Do not tumble dry.
• Do not wrap the cord or the blanket around the controller, as doing so may cause damage.
• Do not use another heating device in conjunction with your electric blanket.
• Each heated blanket comes with its own matched controller – do not use your blanket with another controller, and do not use your controller on any other product.
• Keep away from heat or flame.
• The blanket should only be used for its intended purpose, do not use it for any other reason.
• Do not attempt to service the blanket, except to replace the fuse if needed (see 24V / 12V fuse replacement instructions below).

REMOVING AND ATTACHING THE PLUG

To remove the charging plug from the blanket, lift the tab on the plug of the blanket pull the cord and plug in opposite directions. Please see FIGURE 4 for how to remove the charging plug. To attach the charging plug to the blanket, line up the button on the cord with the hole on the tab of the plug attached to the blanket until fully secured (should make an audible “click”).

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Before plugging in the blanket, make sure you have read and fully understood the general safety rules and warnings. Make sure the vehicle’s 24V / 12V outlet (cigarette lighter receptacle) is free of any debris and is not in rusted or damaged. Always unfold the blanket before use and look for any visible signs of damage. We also recommend that while using the blanket, the engine should always be running.
2. Firmly grip the 24V / 12V plug at the end of the cord, and plug it into the vehicle’s 24/12 volt outlet (or cigarette lighter receptacle).
3. On the LED controller, Red/Yellow/Green indicate High/Mid/Low power levels. Once the blanket is plugged in, all three lights will flash once. Press the control button to set the desired heat level (the default setting is ‘high’). The blanket will automatically switch off after 45 minutes of continuous use – if preferred, you can choose a 90 or 120 minute automatic shut off. If the LEDs do not light up, you may need to check the vehicle’s fuse panel to ensure that the cigarette lighter fuse or the 12V / 24V outlet is working.
4. It may take up to 10 minutes for the blanket to warm to its automatically maintained operating temperature (temperature may vary depending on the environment). If the blanket becomes uncomfortably warm, simply unplug it.
5. Remember to ALWAYS unplug the blanket when it is not in use or before leaving the vehicle.

CARE AND WASH INSTRUCTIONS

Proper cleaning and care will help ensure a longer life and maintain the safety of your product.

1. Detach controller and disconnect the cord from the heated blanket before washing.
2. Ensure no cords are still connected and none of the wires has worn through the fabric.
3. Carefully follow all washing instructions or the heated product may shrink and possibly cause a fire-hazard.

• Do not dry clean the heated blanket. Dry cleaning solvents may damage the wires.

• Do not wash or submerge any of the cords or controller in water.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your blanket isn’t heating:

• Unplug from the power supply and make sure that the 24V / 12V DC auto adapter is clean. If cleaning is needed, DO NOT USE METAL TOOLS.
• Check to make sure the plug is fully inserted into the outlet.
• Your vehicle may require the ignition to be turned to the accessory position for the DC outlet to have power. This product should be used with the vehicle running.
• Check to see if the fuse in the 24V / 12V DC auto adapter has blown.(See fuse replacement instruction under MAINTENANCE).
• If the 24V / 12V DC power cord gets hot, make sure the power cord is not coiled up, knotted, or damaged. If all three controller lights keep flashing:
• Check to make sure the plug is inserted in a 24V / 12V outlet.
• Unplug the blanket and check to make sure the blanket is completely unfolded and none of the wires are bent or damaged.
