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 Thermal Control Unit, the maximum temperature
of the countertop can be lowered if needed and the heater can be quickly turned on or off.

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.

• Power supply and supplemental accessories: 2 years from date of purchase.

Installation Instructions

Read these instructions completely before starting assembly and installation.

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 securely bond 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.

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 12
hours, then peel the strip off by hand. If the strip bonds extremely well, then applying the Surface Prep Coating is
not necessary.

• If there is support wood on the bottom surface of the stone (common for thinner stone countertops), the heater
can be attached to the wood instead of directly to the stone. HOWEVER, the wood must be prepared with the
Surface Prep Coating to ensure the heater bonds sufciently.

• Man-made stone countertops, such as Quartz, Silestone, and similar products DO NOT NEED the Surface Prep

Coating.

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 90 min.

D. Clean the surface where the heater will be attached. Perform this step whether the surface has been coated or not.

Clean with a rag and isopropyl alcohol. This will remove dirt, dust, and other debris. Let dry completely (approximately

10 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.

the surface prior to installing the heater.
