Installation

WARNING

DANGER

Not category AP or APG equipment

Blanket warming chamber:

The design and operational characteristics of the chamber
eliminate the need for a heat circulating fan.

The controller has an adjustable temperature range of
37°C to 93°C (98°F to 200°F).

The timer feature allows the user to program the controller
to automatically switch on and switch off once during a
24-hour period at selected times. This enables the chamber to
be turned off automatically at night to save energy, but turned
on again in the early morning to ensure warm blankets are
available.

The appliance is equipped with one (1) epoxy-coated
blanket support assembly and one (1) center shelf per
door opening. The appliance is furnished with one (1) set
of 5" (127mm) heavy-duty casters – two (2) rigid and two (2)
swivel with locking brake.

The appliance is equipped with one (1) epoxy-coated
blanket support assembly and one (1) center shelf per
chamber. The appliance is furnished with one (1) set of
5" (127mm) heavy-duty casters – two (2) rigid and two (2)
swivel with locking brake.

This blanket warmer is designed to elevate blanket
temperatures to a level which will increase patient comfort.

The appliance is constructed with stainless steel exterior
casing and door with handle and hinges designed to
withstand heavy usage. A door with window allows
observation of inventory with the door closed. The appliance
is warmed using a low-heat-density electrothermal cable
array. The electrothermal cable is positioned in the  oor and
two sides of the warming appliance, providing even heating
of the interior chamber.

The temperature of each chamber is regulated by an
electronic controller consisting of an LED display, ON/OFF
button, increase and decrease buttons, integrated controller
lock-out feature, timer, and a series of prompt sequence
indicators. The design and operational characteristics of the
appliance eliminate the need for a heat circulating fan.

The controller can be set to operate in Fahrenheit or
Celsius. A er a power failure, the appliance remembers its
programming and begins to operate as before. The on/off
indicator  ashes to indicate that a failure occurred; pressing
the ON/OFF button once eliminates the  ashing. A thermal
shut-off system, separate from the controller, is included as
an additional safety feature.

The controller displays the temperature in whole degrees.

To prevent serious personal injury, death, or
property damage:

Do not steam clean, hose down or flood the
interior or exterior with water or liquid solution
of any kind. Do not use water jet toclean. Failure
to observe this precaution will void the warranty.

To prevent serious personal injury, death,
or property damage:

Do not use this warming appliance in
the presence of flammable anesthetic
mixtures (with air or with oxygen or
nitrous oxide).

NOTICE: Due to the energy e icient design of the

appliance and tight seal around the door, water
vapor from moist or damp blankets placed in the
appliance may cause condensation to collect on
interior surfaces. To avoid this accumulation, use
dry blankets or towels.

A temporary odor may be noticeable upon initial
start-up of the appliance. Contact manufacturer
if the odor persists a er a day or more of
continuous use.
