1. Unpack: Remove the blanket and controller(s) from the packaging.
2. Placement: Lay the heated blanket flat on your bed, ensuring it is not bunched or folded. For best results and safety, do not use the heated blanket between other blankets; it should be placed on top of your top sheet or directly on the mattress.
3. Connect Controller: Locate the connector on the blanket and firmly plug in the controller cord. Ensure a secure connection. For Queen and King sizes, there are two controllers for independent heating zones.
4. Plug In: Plug the power cord from the controller into a 120V AC wall outlet. Avoid using extension cords.

Troubleshooting

If your Sunbeam Heated Blanket is not functioning as expected, try the following troubleshooting steps:

• Check Connections: Ensure the controller is firmly plugged into the blanket and the power cord is securely plugged into a working wall outlet. A loose connection can prevent the blanket from heating.
• Reset Method: If the blanket does not heat or fails to turn on, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and disconnect the controller from the blanket. Wait a few minutes. Then, reconnect the controller to the blanket FIRST, and then plug the power cord back into the wall outlet. This often resets the blanket and resolves minor issues.
• Controller Display: If the display is not lighting up, check the power connection. If it lights up but shows an error code, refer to the full user manual for specific error code meanings.
• Even Heat Distribution: The blanket uses wire technology that senses and adjusts for continuous heat. If you notice uneven heating, ensure the blanket is laid flat and not bunched or folded.

If issues persist after trying these steps, please refer to the Warranty & Support section for further assistance.
