Heaters
Follow any specific instructions from your heater
manufacturer.
Place the heating pad in the center area of the deck
avoiding any cracks between decking boards. For Queen and
SuperSingle sizes, place on one side or the other. |

DO NOT PLACE THE HEATER OVER ANY
DECKBOARD CRACKS

Specific Recommendations
- Always install the heater in accordance with the
manufacturers recommendations.
- Never turn on a heater unless there is at least 4
inches of water in the mattress or it is full
- Never place the heater over any hardware or cracks
between boards.
- Place the heater in the middle or near the foot of the
bed.
- Run the power cord through the cutouts in the deck near
the head of the bed
- If cutouts are not provided, remove at least one board
and cut a 3" piece off the corner
- Many controls are meant to be mounted, damage to the
control or wires can occur if you don't mount the
control properly
- Gently roll the temperature sensor out
- When filling the mattress, use a mixture of warm and
cold water so that it will be easier for the heater to
get your bed up to temperature
- After filling the mattress with water, turn the heater
on.
- Do not use with an extension cord
- If you need to use an extension cord, use on of at
least 16 gauge (smaller numbers are larger size wires)
- If anything goes wrong with the heater or the mattress
leaks, unplug the heater immediately

Mount the Thermostat
Mount the Thermostat Control to either side of the frame
depending on where you will plug it in. It may be mounted on
the side as shown, or underneath. See manufacturers
instructions. Use the screws provided. Plug the cord from the
heating pad into the control unit.
DO NOT plug into the wall socket at this time.

|
Sensor Tube
The sensor tube should be
positioned away from the mattress pad between the frame and
heating pad. At least 12 inches is preferred. Consult your
installation instructions for more detailed or specific
instructions.
Hidden controller styles use a combined controller/sensor which would be placed under the mattress similar to a sensor tube. DO NOT plug into the wall socket yet!

Test Heater
To test the heater, plug it in and set the temperature. Place
your hand on the heating pad. As soon as it becomes warm,
UNPLUG the Heater.
Running the heater without a waterbed mattress full of water
could damage the heater. Direct bodily contact with the
heater for a prolonged period could result in a burn.
An unfilled mattresses or underfilled mattress can result in
"bottoming out." This occurs when a knee or other
part of the body comes in contact with the heater pad. This
can cause damage to the heater pad or a burn to the customer
or the mattress.
