To use a Bedsure heated blanket, connect the coupler to the blanket first, plug the controller into a working 120V AC outlet, press the power button and choose a heat level. Lay the blanket flat over your flat sheet with the controller outside the covers, and give it 10 to 15 minutes to warm up. To wash it, unplug it, disconnect the coupler and let it cool for 20 to 30 minutes, then wash it on a gentle cycle in cold water with mild soap.
This guidebook covers first-time setup, troubleshooting and washing and maintenance for Bedsure heated blankets.
First-time setup
Packaging opening
When opening the packaging, please avoid damaging the product. Vacuum packing may slightly affect the fluffiness of the fabric; simply shake it out gently, and it will naturally restore fluffiness within 24-48 hours.
The correct steps for powering on
Step 1: Please connect the coupler to the product securely before plugging it into a working power outlet.
Step 2: Press the Power or ON/OFF button on your electric blanket to turn it ON.
Note: The Power button and the Temperature Up and Down buttons are on the Bedsure controller that came with your blanket. Button layouts differ between models: the HeatX heated blanket guide, the silicone heated blanket guide and the heated comforter guide show the controllers for those models.
Step 3: Press the Temperature Up or Down button on your electric blanket to adjust the temperature.
Allow your electric blanket to reach the desired level. This takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
How to lay the blanket on your bed
Lay the blanket flat over your flat sheet so the heated area covers where you sleep. Keep the heated area on top of the mattress rather than tucked under it, and keep the controller outside the covers where you can see it.
What if the controller doesn't match the product?
A. Please check that the MODEL NUMBER on the product label matches the MODEL NUMBER on the back of the controller. If there are any issues, please contact our customer service team.
Throw/Twin/Full:
Queen/King:
B. Please use the included Bedsure controller, and do not use controllers from any other brand.
What if the controller feels too hot?
A. Turn OFF your electric blanket.
B. Unplug the power cord of your electric blanket from the power outlet.
C. Allow your electric blanket and controller to cool down for 20-30 minutes.
D. Please check the controller is not wrapped in the product or placed near other heat sources when in use. Keep it visible during use.
Why does the product size seem different than expected?
Choose the size by where you will use the blanket. A Throw suits a couch or chair. For a bed, pick the size that matches your mattress (Twin, Full, Queen or King). The chart below shows the dimensions of each size.
Vacuum packing can also cause a size variation of 1 to 2 inches on a new blanket. Shake it out gently and it recovers within 24 to 48 hours. If you are still deciding between a blanket on top and a pad under your sheet, compare a heated mattress pad vs. electric blanket.
Won't work
If the controller shows an error code starting with F (such as F1, F2 or F3) or the screen goes black, work through the four steps below.
Step 1: Check the controller
Please check the controller is not wrapped in the product or placed near other heat sources, as overheating may trigger the self-protection mode.
Step 2: Unplug the power cord
Unplug the power cord, and then disconnect the coupler.
Step 3: Check the power source
Confirm that you are using a 120V AC power source. Connect another working device to the same power outlet to confirm that the outlet is working.
Reconnect the coupler, plug in the power outlet, and turn it back on. This should resolve most errors or black screen issues.
Step 4: Contact customer service team
If the issue persists after multiple attempts, please contact our customer service team for assistance.
Won't heat evenly or warm enough
Won't heat evenly

Won't warm enough
A. When the weather is too cold or the room temperature is too low, please press the Temperature Up button on your electric blanket to increase the temperature.
Note: The Temperature Up button is on the controller that came with your blanket. See the powering-on steps above.
B. Wait for 10-15 minutes so your electric blanket heats up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you wash a heated blanket with the plug attached?
No. Unplug the power cord, disconnect the coupler and keep the controller and plug dry, then wash the blanket on its own. Let the blanket and its coupler dry completely before you reconnect the controller.
Why does my Bedsure controller show F1?
An F code such as F1 is covered under Won't work. Check that the controller is not covered or near a heat source, unplug and reconnect the coupler, confirm the outlet works, and contact customer service if the code comes back.
Can you put a heated blanket in the dryer?
Yes, a household dryer on the low setting: preheat it for 2 minutes, tumble the blanket, and take it out while still damp to finish air drying. The steps are under Drying Instructions.
