7. Insert Items for Heat Treatment
The ZappBug Room is a highly versatile heat treatment chamber. Place the
items you are heat treating in the room. Use the included foam blocks to raise
furniture above the floor of the room for circulation. Arrange items loosely and
avoid stacking items in piles. If items are placed too close to the ZappBug
thermal units, or if airflow inside the unit is obstructed, it is possible that the the
ZappBug thermal unit’s internal safety fuse will pop. To ensure adequate air
flow, keep all contents at least 4 inches from the walls of the ZappBug Room.
Third party items such as shelving and clothing racks may be used to facilitate
the heat treatment of clothing and other items. Appropriate shelving and racks
should be available at your local hardware store.
Place the three wireless thermometer probes inside the deepest, most insulated
locations in items being treated.
Note:
If items are densely packed, they take longer to reach the desired
temperature. Better air circulation will heat your items faster and ensure bed
bug killing temperatures. Always use included thermometer probes to ensure
that temperatures reach the lethal temperature of 120°F. Always open luggage
and arrange items loosely to ensure proper air circulation.
Safety Note:
The ZappBug thermal units draw 1500 watts of electrical power.
Do not use extension cords rated below 1500 watts. Each ZappBug thermal unit
should be plugged into a separate circuit, using the included extension cord if
necessary.
Safety Tip Over Switch
If the ZappBug thermal unit and timer are plugged
into an outlet, and the timer is ON, the ZappBug
thermal unit should automatically begin to run.
If the ZappBug thermal unit is plugged in but not
operating, check the safety tip over switch located
on the bottom of the ZappBug thermal unit. The
safety tip over switch is a small black button that
must be pressed in to run the ZappBug thermal unit.
This switch is a safety feature to stop the ZappBug
thermal unit from running if it is tipped over.
