How To Use The Large Industrial Heated Blankets

The instructions in this guide include a number of rules on how to safely use your blanket, and how to extend its lifespan.

RULES FOR GENERAL USE:

• Before turning on the power, make sure to fully unfold the blanket. In no circumstances can you use the cord as a handle – doing this can pose serious health risks.
• You must never roll or fold the blanket over itself if the power is on. Avoid overlapping with other blankets as well. The way it works is simple – the heat spreads through radiation and conduction. If you roll a blanket over itself or stack it with another one, both surfaces will be next to each other and will begin producing excessive amounts of heat. There could be serious consequences such as burning or charring. If you want to roll the blanket, always turn the power off.
• Before turning the blanket on, be sure to remove items which are bad heat conductors. Examples include rubber, wood, plastic, paper, and others.
• Put the blanket in a flat position on the surface when heating it up. The gray side is heated, and the yellow side is non-heated.
• The designated voltage must be precisely applied. An example would be 110V to a 110-volt blanket.
• Before starting, check if the extension cables have the appropriate size to manage the blankets’ amperage.
• If you want to extend the life of your blanket, be sure to roll it or put is in a flat position when storing it. In no circumstances should you fold itbecause that can cause Blankets can be folded only during shipping.
• Take note that if you put tarps or curing blankets on the heated blanket, there will be a significant rise in temperature below it.
• By letting the blanket work for longer periods of time, it will produce more heat and offer the best protection.

THAWING INSTRUCTIONS:

• Be sure to remove any snow from the blanket’s surface before turning it on.
• Using a tarp or an insulated curing blanket above the heated blanket is a great idea if you want to raise the temperatures below your blanket. You could get as much as an additional 15ºF.

CORRECT USE AND GOOD STORAGE CONDITIONS CAN HELP IN EXTENDING THE LIFE OF THE BLANKET

The heated blanket is usually not hot to the touch. If you want to try it out, the most efficient way would be to check for continuity. If it works fine for long periods of time, everything is ok. The heated blanked works like a crockpot. If you want to lift the blanket, the heat could escape. Because of this, it would be wise to put one more layer of insulation or tarps on top of your blanket. By doing this, the heat won’t escape, and you will have better protection against wind or cold. You should note that the yellow side in non-heated and is usually UP. The gray side is heated and is DOWN. The blanket will arrive with a 6-feet-long power cord. You will need to attach a plug. The socket plug is included and shipped loose.
