Package Contents
Your Serta Twin Electric Blanket package includes:
- 1 Serta Twin Heated Blanket (62"W x 84"L)
- 1 Controller with LCD Display
Setup Instructions
- Unpack the Blanket: Carefully remove the electric blanket and controller from its packaging.
- Position the Blanket: Lay the electric blanket flat on your bed, ensuring it is spread out evenly without any folds or wrinkles. The connector for the controller should be positioned at the foot end of the bed, or in a location that allows the controller to rest on a nightstand or accessible surface without being covered.
- Connect the Controller: Locate the connector on the blanket and firmly plug the controller cord into it. Ensure a secure connection.
- Plug into Power: Plug the power cord of the controller into a standard 120V/60Hz electrical outlet. Ensure the cord is not pinched between the bed and wall or furniture. The power cord is 6ft long, and the controller cord is 11ft long.
Operating Instructions
Your Serta electric blanket is equipped with an easy-to-use controller to manage heat and timer settings.
- Power On/Off: Press the 'ON/OFF' button on the controller to turn the blanket on or off. The LCD display will illuminate when the blanket is active.
- Adjust Heat Settings: Use the '+' and '-' buttons to select your desired heat level. There are 10 heat settings available, from gentle warmth to higher heat. The selected level will be shown on the LCD display.
- Set Auto Shut-Off Timer: Press the 'TIMER/HEAT' button to cycle through the timer options. You can set the blanket to automatically shut off after 1 to 12 hours, in 1-hour increments. This safety feature helps conserve energy and prevents prolonged use.
- Pre-heating: For best results, turn on the blanket to your desired heat setting approximately 15-30 minutes before use to allow it to pre-heat the bed.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your electric blanket. Always disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet and the controller from the blanket before cleaning.
Washing Instructions:
- Pre-Wash: Disconnect all cords.
- Machine Wash: Wash by hand or using a delicate cycle in cold water with minimal detergent.
- Rinse: Rinse thoroughly in cold water.
- Spin Cycle: Remove immediately after the spin cycle to prevent creasing.
Drying Instructions:
- Tumble Dry: Tumble dry on medium or low heat for a maximum of 5 minutes.
- Air Dry: Gently stretch the blanket to its original shape and hang to finish drying. Ensure it is completely dry before reconnecting or storing.
- Do Not: Do not hang with clothespins. Do not iron the blanket.
Storage
To prolong the life of your electric blanket, store it properly when not in use, especially at the end of the season.
- Ensure the blanket is completely dry before storing.
- Roll the blanket loosely rather than folding it tightly. This helps prevent damage to the internal heating wires.
- Do not compress the blanket or place heavy objects on top of it during storage, as this can damage the wires and affect functionality.
- Store in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
Q: Why is my light blinking?
A: Unplug and reconnect the blanket to try again. Ensure the controller is well connected to the blanket. If the issue persists, please contact customer support.
Q: My controller feels warm to the touch. Is this a problem?
A: No. The control will feel warm (not hot) to the touch when functioning properly. Even when the controller is on, small amounts of electricity will cycle through it, which may make the controller warm. This is normal operation.
