OPERATION
NOTE: This appliance is designed to heat towels and
blankets to temperatures of up to 130°F
(54.4°C). The process of heating the contents from an ambient
room temperature of 72°F
(22.2°C) to 130°F (54.4°C) can take an average of 4 hours, depending on the amount of
contents. When loading items into the cabinet for heating, be sure there is a minimum of 1” of space
between the items and the walls to allow for proper circulation of air.
Loading the Warning Cabinet: Place the articles to be warmed into the cabinet and close the door.
Items may be stacked, but be sure adequate space is left for air circulation, as noted above. Ensure the
door is closed securely.
CAUTION: DO NOT store blankets on the bottom shelf on the unit. Blankets stored here
will block the heating module and affect the performance of the unit.
Turning on
the Blanket Warmer
Operation Sequence:
1. The temperature controller will light up and display the blanket warmer temperature.
2. The heating element will turn on, as indicated by the red indicator light on the control panel. It will
cycle on and off with the heating element.
3. The temperature will gr
adually increase from the ambient room temperature of 72°F (22.2°C) to the
factory setpoint of 130°F (54.4°C).
Note: The LED display on the control panel normally shows the cabinet temperature. When
the cabinet reaches 130°F (54.4°C), the heating element will turn off (the red light goes out). It
will turn on again when the cabinet’s
temperature drops by 2-3°F. This condition will continue
until the equipment is:
a. Turned off intentionally
b. Some internal or external factor causes the current to exceed 15 amperes, in which case
the circuit breaker will trip off.
When operating correctly, the unit will always maintain temperatures within two degrees of its
set point (factory set at 130°F).
