Your heater is specically designed to gently raise the temperature of the heated area an additional 20 to 25 degrees
Fahrenheit. WarmlyYours FeelsWarm® Countertop Heaters utilize slow-rise heating elements so that the heating element
does not become excessively hot or unsafe. Consequently, the temperature of the stone countertop may take 1 to 1 1/2
hours to warm to the stable heat level that the heater delivers. With the optional Thermal Control Unit, the maximum
temperature of the countertop can be lowered if needed and the heater can be quickly turned on or off. (temp adjustments
may take 30 minutes)

Safety: WarmlyYours FeelsWarm® Countertop Heaters are designed for indoor use only. All WarmlyYours FeelsWarm®
heaters utilize low voltage (9-24 volts dc) for home safety. These adhesive-backed heating elements are designed
with ultra-high bonding adhesive to help prevent the edges of the heater from being peeled or delaminated. They are
fabricated with an impact- and scratch-resistant cover shield to protect the heating element from damage. However, the
heater should be inspected periodically for damage or peeling. If either is present, immediately disconnect the power
supply and contact WarmlyYours for technical support. Do not pull on the electrical cord connecting the heater to the
power supply.

Warranty: WarmlyYours FeelsWarm® Countertop Heaters come with a two-tier warranty against manufacturer defects.
The warranty does NOT cover damage due to tampering, improper wiring or installation, use of incorrect power, or other

causes.

• Heating element: 3 years from date of purchase. This does not include damage, tampering, improper
electrical power, or wiring.

• Power supply and supplemental accessories (Transformer, Thermal Control Unit):
2 years from date of purchase.

Please follow instructions thoroughly. Claims will not be allowed for direct or indirect damages beyond
this product due to failure to follow installation instructions.

SECTION 2

1. EVALUATE AND PREPARE THE SURFACE OF THE COUNTERTOP

A. Evaluate the lower surface of the countertop to determine if the Surface Prep Kit must be used to create a smooth,

uniform surface, which will ensure a secure bond for the heater. Use the peel test strip included in this package to
evaluate whether the surface of the stone needs the Surface Prep Coating. If the counter is “rough cut” natural stone,
the WarmlyYours FeelsWarm® Surface Prep Coating will be necessary. As a general rule, a Surface Prep Kit will be
needed if the heating mat is being applied to quartz, “rough” feeling granite underneath the counter, or supporting
wood. Smooth granite and any stone with a mesh backing will most likely not need a kit.

B. To determine whether or not the stone surface will be acceptable as is (without the Surface Prep Coating), attach the

peel test strip to the underside of the counter and press with fairly hard pressure. Let the strip remain on the stone for an
hour, then peel the strip off by hand. If the strip bonds extremely well, then applying the Surface Prep Coating is
not necessary.

C. If it is determined that the coating is needed, apply the Surface Prep Coating onto the area where the heater is to

be attached. Follow the instructions below, labeled “Surface Prep Instructions”. The coating must cure completely—
approximately 30 min. The surface will no longer be tacky when it has dried fully.

D. If no Surface Prep Coating is used, clean the surface where the heater will be attached. Clean with a rag and isopropyl

alcohol. This will remove dirt, dust, and other debris. Let dry completely (approximately 5 minutes).

E. If your heater is larger than 4 square feet or is an unusual shape or conguration, you will need another person to help

attach the heater to the countertop.

Surface Prep Instructions (If needed)

Kit Contents:

• Small brush

• Mixing tin

• Tongue depressor

Recommended Tools and Supplies:

• Protective eyewear REQUIRED

• Gloves and appropriate clothing

• Pencil

If the surface is not suitable for bonding, then WarmlyYours FeelsWarm®Surface Prep Coating will need to be applied to
the surface prior to installing the heater.
