2. Measure the width, height, and depth of the blanket in inches.
3. Convert to cubic foot volume by:
Multiplying Width x Height x Depth
Divide the product of those dimensions by 1,728 to get the Cubic Foot Volume
Find out how many blankets are used in a 2 hour period
Multiply: Cubic Foot Volume x # of Blankets x 2

Always make sure to leave enough time for blankets to warm up as larger warmers will require approximately 2 hours. Smaller units will warm faster and are better for use as intermittent blanket warmers rather than continuous operation.
