7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your heated blanket, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Blanket Not Heating: Ensure the controller is securely connected to the blanket and the power cord is firmly plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the power button on the controller is pressed and a heat level is selected.
• Controller Display Not Working: Verify the power connection. If the issue persists, try plugging the blanket into a different outlet.
• Uneven Heating: Ensure the blanket is spread out flat and not bunched up or folded, which can impede heat distribution.
• Automatic Shut-off Before Set Time: This could be due to the overheat protection system activating. Unplug the blanket, let it cool for a few minutes, and then try again. Ensure the blanket is not covered by other heavy items that could trap heat.
