Applies to: EverCosy models 610001, 610002, 610003, 610004, 610005, 610006, 610101, 610102, 610103, 610104, 610105 and 610106. You’ll find your model and serial numbers on the throw’s packaging.
| What’s happening? | What to do first |
|---|---|
| The controller won’t light up | Unplug the throw, check that the controller connector is fitted securely, then plug it back in and press On/Off. If there’s no visible damage, check that the wall socket works. |
| The display goes blank a few seconds after I switch it on | Press On/Off again and select a heat or timer setting within five seconds. If you don’t make a selection, the controller switches off. |
| The controller lights up, but the throw isn’t warming | Check that the throw is spread out without folds and that a heat level is selected. If it’s on a low setting, increase it using the heat + button. If there’s still no warmth, switch it off and contact us. |
| The throw stopped heating after a set time | Check the Auto Off setting. The controller starts at two hours by default and stops heating when the timer ends. |
| The throw has a hot spot, smells burnt, shows scorch marks or trips the electrics | Stop using it. Switch off and unplug it only if it’s safe to do so. Don’t restart it to test it. Contact Customer Support. |
How do I turn on my EverCosy heated throw?
- Spread the throw out so it’s free from folds, creases and bunching. Check that the fabric, controller, connector and cable are dry and undamaged.
- With the mains plug disconnected, fit the supplied controller connector securely to the throw.
- Plug the throw directly into a wall socket. Press On/Off, then press a heat button within five seconds. The default settings are heat level 5 and two hours.
- Use the heat + and – buttons to choose a level from 1 to 9. Level 1 is the lowest and level 9 is the highest.
- Drape the throw over your body. Keep the controller uncovered, easy to reach and away from other heat sources. Keep the cable clear of the throw and arrange it so it won’t become trapped or cause a trip.
Press On/Off to stop heating. Switch off and unplug the throw when you’ve finished using it.
How do I set the Auto Off timer?
Press the Auto Off button until the number of hours you want appears on the timer display. You can select one to nine hours. The throw stops heating automatically when that time ends.
The controller has separate displays for heat level and Auto Off hours. If you change the heat level, check the timer display separately to make sure it’s set for the time you want.
Where can I use my heated throw?
Use the EverCosy as a cover over your body. Don’t sit or lie on it, use it as an underblanket or tuck the heated fabric under a mattress. If you use it over yourself while awake in bed, switch it off and unplug it before going to sleep. Do not use it on an adjustable bed.
- Keep the throw unfolded while it’s switched on. Don’t use it if it’s damp or wet.
- Don’t use it with a hot water bottle or secure it with pins or sharp objects.
- Use only the controller and lead supplied with your throw. Don’t use an extension lead, external timer or separate remote-control system.
- Never use the throw for a child under three or anyone who cannot feel or respond to overheating. Older children must be able to use it safely, with the appropriate supervision and control of the heat setting.
Why won’t my EverCosy heated throw turn on or warm up?
The controller has no lights
- Switch off and unplug the throw. Check the cable, plug and connector for damage. If you see damage, stop using the throw and contact us.
- Make sure the controller connector is fitted securely to the throw.
- Plug it directly into a working wall socket. Press On/Off and select a heat setting within five seconds.
If the controller still won’t light up, contact Customer Support. Don’t try a controller from another throw, even if the connector looks the same.
The controller lights up, but the throw stays cold
Make sure the throw is spread out, the timer hasn’t ended and the heat display shows the setting you selected. If it’s on a low setting, increase it using the heat + button and check whether it warms. Don’t fold or bunch the throw to test the heat.
If it stays cold after these checks, or one area gets unusually hot while the rest stays cool, switch it off and contact Customer Support.
The throw keeps switching off before the timer ends
If the controller goes blank just after switch-on, press On/Off and make a heat or timer selection within five seconds. If it stops after the selected number of hours, the timer has finished normally.
If it repeatedly stops during use before the selected time ends, stop using it and contact Customer Support. Tell us the heat level, the timer setting and roughly how long it ran before switching off.
How do I wash my EverCosy heated throw?
Unplug the throw and detach the controller and mains cable before washing. Only the fabric throw can be washed. Keep the controller and cable dry.
- Measure the throw before washing so you can check its shape and size after drying.
- To machine wash: Use a wool cycle at no more than 40°C, following the care label sewn onto the throw.
- To hand wash: Use warm water and a mild detergent. Soak for five minutes, wash gently, then rinse thoroughly in clean water.
- Gently reshape the throw before air-drying. Do not wring, bleach, dry clean or tumble dry it. If you use a clothesline, keep pegs away from the sections containing heating wires.
When can I reconnect the controller after washing?
Wait until the throw and its connector are completely dry. Check that the throw has returned to approximately its original size. Hold it up to the light and check that no wires are visible through the fabric, looped or twisted.
If you notice exposed or displaced wires, damage to the fabric or damage to the controller or cable, do not reconnect or use the throw. Contact Customer Support.
How do I store my heated throw?
Switch it off, unplug it and let it cool completely. Make sure it’s dry, then fold it loosely without pressing in sharp creases. Store it somewhere clean and dry, with no heavy items on top. Check it for wear or damage before using it again.
