WARNING! – Power Outlets Can Be Dangerous
Power Outlets with poor electrical connections can
become dangerously overheated and may result in
re, severe injury and/or damage to property.
Follow the steps below for safe use of ANY high-power appliances:
1. Inspect outlet connection and contact strength.
Insert a standard, two-prong plug (without third, Ground connection)
into outlet. Ensure that both prong connections offer equal and strong
resistance when inserted. If the two-prong plug does not offer strong
resistance or one prong feels easier to insert than the other, this outlet
could be unsafe for high-power appliances. Have an electrician in-
spect and/or replace outlet before use.
2. Ensure that the outlet is no older than 15 years.
3. Inspect outlet and timer plug after each use.
4. If you are unsure about an outlet, have an electrician inspect and/or re-
place the outlet.
Explanation
High-power appliances require more electric current than most household items.
Old and high-use outlets can have poor or loose connections. The high current
required by this product, combined with a poor electrical connection can cause
outlets to overheat and melt. It is important to make sure that any outlets used
with this product have strong electrical contact.

Warning: Extension Cords
Some extension cords are not adequate to carry the load of current drawn by
this heater without becoming dangerously overheated. If an extension cord
must be used, do not use a cord set rated less than 1500 watts or 15 amps, and
of a minimum size of 16 Gauge. Use only an extension cord with the UL seal. Use
of an inadequate extension cord may result in overheating of the extension
cord or re.
Warning: 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. If electrical
cord(s) appears deformed or feel hot to the touch, unplug immediately and
contact ZappBug customer service. Old or faulty electrical wiring could lead to
damage, dangerous re and injury.

Hints & Tips
BED BUGS
• Researchers have found that bed bugs at all life stages die quickly at
temperatures at or above 120OF.
• Bed bug eggs are nearly translucent and incredibly difcult to detect.
A best practice is to heat treat all items that may have been in the vicinity
of bed bugs even if no bed bugs are found. For pictures of bed bugs and
bed bug eggs, please visit zappbug.com/bed-bug-pictures
• Bed bugs can survive for up to 18 months without feeding. It is critical that
all potentially infested items are heat treated or, alternatively, sealed and
stored for 18 months.
• Bed bugs can atten their bodies and slip into tiny cracks.
• Bed bugs are unable to climb smooth, nonporous surfaces like those lining
the ZappBug RoomTM.
• Bed Bugs suffer from thermal shock and are immediately unable to
move at temperatures above 150OF.

THE ZAPPBUG ROOMTM
• Think about heat treating your belongings in the same way that you
think of drying clothes in the sun. If your belongings are densely packed
together, it will take signicantly more time for them to reach bed bug
killing temperatures. Always use provided ventilation blocks and/or net to
ensure maximum air circulation around your belongings.
• Bed bugs suffer from thermal shock and cannot escape through the
heater duct while the heater is on. Make sure to turn the heater on before
placing potentially infested items inside the ZappBug RoomTM.
• Only use indoors with an ambient room temperature above 70OF. The
heater works by adding heat to the air from the room in which it is
located. If the ambient temperature is below 70OF, the ZappBug RoomTM
may not reach bed bug killing temperatures.
• Always monitor temperature inside the ZappBug RoomTM with a
thermometer. (Wireless thermometer and 3 probes included.)
• Do not place the ZappBug RoomTM directly on cold oors such as
concrete. Always place the ZappBug Room on surfaces at room
temperature (above 70OF).
