SAFETY WARNINGS
This mat must be installed per HeatTrak® instructions. Follow these important warnings to avoid
the risk of fire or shock.
• Have a qualified electrician install a properly grounded outlet, rated for the voltage and current
required, and acceptable for outdoor use (protected from snow and rain), immediately adjacent to
the location where the heater will be used.
• Do not walk on the mat before it is completely installed.
• Inspect the entire mat and supply cord for defects or damage before using.
NOTE: The power supply cord is not replaceable.
• Do not modify any part of the mat. In particular, do not attempt to cut, slice, or trim the mat.
• Route the supply cord and locate the heater to be protected from damage.
• Do not use extension cords.
• Do not plug the mat into an improperly wired or rated outlet.
• Do not power the mats while rolled up or stacked on each other.
DOING SO CAN CAUSE MATS TO OVERHEAT AND MELT.
• Unplug mat at receptacle outlet when not in use or before moving.
• Periodically examine the mat for any signs of damage or excessive wear. If found, unplug and remove
the mat from service. Immediately and call customer service for assistance.
UNPACKING THE BOX & PREPARING THE AREA
After reviewing the safety warnings above, take the HeatTrak Mat to the spot where it is going to be used
and unpack it there. Save the packaging materials for storing the mat off-season. Save these instructions
in case you need to look at them again.
It is best to clear all pre-existing ice and snow from the area you will be using
the HeatTrak Mat. But if this is too difficult, you can use the HeatTrak Mat to
melt it. Simply roll out the mat over the snow and/or ice and plug it in.
Depending on how much snow or packed ice you already have, it could take up to a whole day to melt it.
(Under normal conditions (i.e. when the mat is already down and set up), the mat will melt the snow as
it falls, leaving you with an instantly cleared walkway). After clearing the pre-existing snow and ice, make
sure the bottom surface is free of any sharp objects such as rocks, glass or loose nails, which could cause
damage to the bottom of the mat.
