Controls & Surface Prep
Transformer
Included with each FeelsWarm mat is a Low-Voltage Transformer (6-24 volts depending upon size) that plugs into a standard outlet to power the heater. At most, the transformer will draw 2.2 amps and does not require any special wiring.
Controller
A Thermal Controller is an optional add-on item used to lower the temperature of the counter if desired and to quickly turn the unit on/off. We recommend using the mat for a while to see if you would like the controller
Cord Lengths
The control of the FeelsWarm countertop heater is very simple. It is designed to produce a set temperature that is 20 degrees above the room/stone temperature when plugged into 120V household power. It is most common for homeowners to leave the heating mat running at all times. Therefore, the transformer and optional controller are typically installed within a cabinet or in a non-visible position.
Preparing the Surface with Epoxy
Included with each stick-on mat is a Surface Prep Kit (two-part epoxy) which is needed if the underside of your stone is not smooth granite. Any quartz, marble, wood, rough granite and other surfaces where pressure sensitive tape does not bond well will need the epoxy. Simply follow the instructions to brush on a light layer where the mat will be adhered and then let it dry. This step ensures that the FeelsWarm mat will stick to the underside of your stone.
