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.
