Always unplug the blanket from the power outlet before cleaning or storing it. Never use the blanket if the cord or plug is damaged. Do not use pins, staples, or other sharp objects to secure the blanket, as this can damage the heating elements and create a fire hazard.
Avoid using the blanket on a waterbed or near flammable materials, such as curtains or bedding. Never fold or bunch up the blanket, as this can cause overheating and damage the heating elements. Do not use the blanket on infants or children who are unable to move away from heat sources.
If you have any medical conditions, consult your doctor before using the blanket. Always supervise children when using the blanket and teach them the importance of safety precautions. By following these simple guidelines, you can enjoy the warmth and comfort of your Beautyrest Heated Blanket safely and responsibly.
Setup and Installation
Setting up your Beautyrest Heated Blanket is a straightforward process. Before you begin, ensure the blanket is fully unrolled and free from any wrinkles or folds. Locate the controller unit, which typically comes with a power cord and a connection cord that plugs into the blanket.
Plug the power cord into a standard 120 VAC wall outlet. Then, connect the other end of the connection cord to the designated port on the blanket. The blanket should now be powered on.
Once connected, the blanket may take a few minutes to warm up. The controller unit will have a series of buttons or dials that allow you to adjust the temperature, timer settings, and other functions. Familiarize yourself with the controller’s features and how to operate them.
If your Beautyrest Heated Blanket has a preheat function, it will automatically cycle through a brief preheating stage before reaching the desired temperature. This is a normal feature and helps to ensure even heat distribution.
Remember to always unplug the blanket when not in use. Properly storing the blanket when not in use will help to extend its lifespan and prevent damage.
Operating Instructions
Operating your Beautyrest Heated Blanket is simple and intuitive. The controller unit is your primary interface for controlling the blanket’s functions. Most controllers have buttons or dials for adjusting the temperature, setting a timer, and selecting additional features.
To adjust the temperature, simply press the appropriate buttons or turn the dial to your desired setting. Most blankets offer a range of temperature settings to suit your individual preferences.
Many Beautyrest Heated Blankets also feature a timer function, allowing you to set a specific amount of time for the blanket to remain on. This is particularly useful if you prefer to fall asleep with the blanket on but don’t want it running all night.
Some models may include additional features such as a preheat function, which quickly warms up the blanket to your desired temperature, or a “Cool Hour” setting for a refreshing sensation.
Always refer to the specific instructions provided with your Beautyrest Heated Blanket for detailed information on operating its unique features and functionalities.
Remember to treat your blanket with care and handle it with respect. Avoid placing heavy objects on the blanket, as this can damage the heating elements.
Temperature Control
Achieving the perfect level of warmth is paramount when it comes to enjoying your Beautyrest Heated Blanket. The temperature control system allows you to customize your comfort experience to your liking. Most Beautyrest Heated Blankets offer a range of temperature settings, typically indicated by numbers or symbols on the controller.
You can adjust the temperature using buttons, dials, or a digital display, depending on your specific model. Start by selecting a lower setting and gradually increase it until you reach your desired level of warmth.
Remember that the blanket may take some time to reach the set temperature, especially if you choose a higher setting. Be patient and allow the blanket to warm up fully before making further adjustments.
It’s important to note that the actual temperature of the blanket may vary depending on factors such as the room temperature, the thickness of your bedding, and your personal sensitivity to heat. Experiment with different settings to find the ideal temperature for you.
For optimal comfort and safety, avoid using your blanket on a high setting for extended periods. This can lead to excessive heat and potential discomfort.
If you experience any unusual heat or discomfort, immediately turn off the blanket and unplug it. Contact Beautyrest customer service for assistance if necessary.
Timer Function
For added convenience and safety, many Beautyrest Heated Blankets feature a built-in timer function. This allows you to set a specific time for the blanket to automatically turn off, ensuring that it doesn’t stay on unnecessarily while you’re asleep or away from home.
To use the timer function, simply locate the timer control on your blanket’s controller. This may be a button, dial, or a digital display with time settings. Select the desired time interval for the blanket to remain on, typically ranging from 1 to 10 hours.
Once you set the timer, the blanket will automatically turn off after the designated time has elapsed. This feature is particularly helpful for promoting energy efficiency and preventing overheating.
Some models may offer an auto-off function that automatically shuts off the blanket after a set period, even if the timer is not activated. Refer to your specific blanket’s manual for details on the auto-off feature.
The timer function is a valuable safety measure, especially when using the blanket overnight. It helps to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards.
Always remember to unplug the blanket when not in use, even when the timer has turned it off. This ensures complete safety and reduces the risk of electrical malfunctions.
