Intended Use
The Thermoline Blanket Warmer 250 and 520 models are designed and manufactured to meet the requirements of medical centres and hospitals where blankets need to be stored in a controlled warm environment. These units are designed to operate at temperatures up to 60°C, with an alarm set to activate at 2°C above the setpoint. Thermoline Blanket Warmers provide an industry-standard solution in insulated heating equipment, ensuring reliable and consistent performance.
Control Accuracy: ±0.1°C
Operating Temperature: up to 60°C
Unpacking
Unpacking process for foam wrapped, boxed, and crated:
In most cases, the blanket warmer will be foam-wrapped and delivered on its castors via sensitive freight (Fig 1) or in a box on a skid.
- For remote deliveries, the blanket warmer may arrive in a crate. To remove the crate packaging (Fig 2):
- Unscrew both the left and right sides of the packaging.
- A forklift is required to safely remove the blanket warmer from the crate.
Moving and Lifting
Moving the blanket warmer:
- Ensure that the blanket warmer is rolled on an even and flat surface. Uneven surfaces can cause the blanket warmer to fall over.
IMPORTANT
Blanket Warmers are 'Top Heavy'. Do not move the blanket warmer too quickly. (Fig 3 & 4)


Operating Environment
Location
- Place the blanket warmer away from direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., heaters).
- Ensure the room's ambient temperature does not exceed the blanket warmer's operational limits.
- The blanket warmer should be stored inside at all times. Failure to adhere to this could cause significant drops in cabinet performance and damage to items stored inside.
Environmental Conditions
Condition | Temperature | Humidity |
Extreme Operating Environment | 10°C to 32°C | Up to 85% RH |
Optimal Environment | 23°C (±5.0°C) | 50% RH (±25% RH) |
Electrical Connections
This blanket warmer requires a 10amp, 230V, 50Hz power supply. Use a dedicated outlet for the blanket warmer, and avoid using power boards or extension cords. Each blanket warmer is supplied with a standard 3-pin moulded plug for connection to the mains.
- The blanket warmer is equipped with a 2.5m removable mains power lead featuring a three-pin plug and a right-angle female IEC plug. Ensure the unit is positioned at a reasonable distance from the power supply to avoid strain on the cable.
- On the blanket warmer itself, there is a 10-amp male IEC socket for power connection.
WARNINGS
-
The blanket warmer should be stored indoors at all times. Failure to adhere to this could cause significant drops in cabinet performance and damage to items stored inside.
- Blanket warmers are not suitable for use with flammable solvents. They contain components that may act as an ignition source, posing a fire hazard.
- The blanket warmer generates heat during operation. The inner liner of the cabinet may become hot to the touch. Exercise caution when handling to avoid burns.
- When removing packaging, exercise caution when using knives to cut tape and cardboard to avoid damaging the blanket warmer.
