so if I turn this blanket on it automatically goes to preheat anyway to prevent that

I have not noticed a preheat mode. I usually turn the blanket on about 5 about a hour before I go to bed. The Sleep Number bed is nice and comfortably warm (not hot) when I get in the bed. Unless the weather is very cold, I never use the High setting - I don't need it.

I am not sure. I always turn on my blanket to pre-warm my bed. I hate getting under cold sheets.

There is a switch on the side that you rotate all the way to the right. This should keep it from turning off automatically.

You can on low heat settings and don't leave it on there. Otherwise you'll melt it.

The blanket temp is adjustable from like 1 to 10 and then it has a preheat setting. The preheat setting is quite warm but is nice for a really chilly night. After the preheat the temp goes back down to the selected setting. I usually have mine set on on 1 or 3 for the night and am warm but not hot.

My wife and I have not seen any letter "F" on our controls. Could it be that the "P" for preheat is not fully showing on your controls. We have had good even heat with our blanket.

No, it doesn't turn itself off, however it is not a hot heat - it doesn't get so hot as an electric blanket, even... but it's a very low and consistent warmth, so we don't worry about turning it off until we are up and about the next morning. My husband has had some neuropathy in his feet, and this little blanket at the foot of the bed has been very therapeutic for him, and I enjoy the warmth too! I gave this sunbeam foot pad five stars!

No, it automatically switches to warm when my rice or vegetables are steamed

Hi, If the item is very hot (after a long time using), you may switch it off and then switch on again.

Yes, when you cook your food using the program mode it switch to warm and after 14 hrs of continuous use it turns itself off.

I put mine on an hour prior to going to bed, because it stay on for 1o hours which is longer then I sleep. I never bother to read the preheat papers. I use it to pre heat whn its cold or damp now that spring is here on the east coast

I've had mine for about 8 years, and that was a replacement for a warranty issue for the one I had years prior. The trick is this!!! First, put it above your flat sheet so you don't soil it from your body... means rare need for washing. Second, place a duvet ABOVE it, then your blanket if you use one as well. I've been doing this, and it gets HOT! Keeps the heat down. I preheat the bed in advance when I remember, and another trick is when I turn it on to preheat, I spread my pillows over the top of the duvet where I sleep, or want extra heat (feet)... big bonus.

From a blog :Amazon Verified PurchaseIt has a preheat setting that I haven't had before. This blanket is soft and luxurious and performs very well. I have rheumatoid arthritis and with the heat I can get up in the morning and be able to move without a lot of problems. I would recommend this blanket to others.

Why would you. When you push for heat, then you want heat. If you don't want heat in the first place don't turn it on.

It will probably over heat it. There is no automatic turn off. Its made for a larger tank then that

Sure you can turn it on again and it will heat up. I would turn it off asap to prevent burning or just make another smll or at dinner.

Automatically...no. You would have to switch it to low manually. The "cook time" setting will only work on either "high" or "low", and then switch to "keep warm".

Yes if you set the hour timer, it will automatically switch to warm when the time is up
