IMPORTANT: Extension Cords
Some extension cords are not adequate to carry the load of current drawn by
this ZappBug thermal unit without becoming dangerously overheated. If an
extension cord
must
be used, do not use a cord rated less than
1500 watts
or
15
amps
, and of a minimum size of 16 gauge. Only use an extension cord with the
UL seal. Use of an inadequate extension cord may result in overheating of the
extension cord or fire.
IMPORTANT: Old Electrical Wiring and Outlets
Each ZappBug thermal unit will draw 12-15 amps of current (1500 Watts) and
must be run on circuits rated
15 amps and above only
. Some old electrical
wiring and outlets may not be capable of sustaining these loads. If you are
unsure of the electrical wiring or outlets in your location, contact an electrician
before operating ZappBug or any other high-current products. Old or faulty
electrical wiring could lead to damage, injury, or fire. If an electrical cord
appears deformed or feels hot to the touch, unplug it immediately and contact
ZappBug customer service.
