Use & Operation (continued)
7. Insert Items for Heat Treatment
8. Run Time
Place items inside the ZappBug Oven 2 on top of support blocks and/or support
net. To ensure adequate airow, items should not touch the walls or ceiling of
the chamber. Place the wireless thermometer probe in the deepest location in
the items being treated to ensure all the materials will be exposed to the 120°F
necessary to kill bed bugs. After that, zip the top cover closed.
Hint: Always open luggage and arrange items loosely to ensure proper air
circulation. If items are densely packed, they take longer to heat.
Bed bugs die at temperatures of 120°F or above in less than two minutes.
The higher the temperature, the less time it takes to kill them. The standard
practice for heat treating is to measure the temperature at one, representative
location. When the temperature at this location reaches 120°F and is held at
120°F (or above) for one hour, you can be condent that any bed bugs in your
belongings are dead.
Once the remote sensor reaches a temperature of
120°F or above, run the heating unit for 60 minutes.
Safety Note: The heaters draws 1500 watts of electrical power. Do not use
extension cords rated below 1500 watts. Each heating unit should be plugged
into a separate circuit, using the included extension cord if necessary.
Safety Tip Over Switch
If the heating unit and timer are plugged into an
outlet, and the timer is ON, the heating unit should
automatically begin to run. If the unit is plugged
in but not operating, check the safety tip-over
switch located on the bottom of the heating unit.
The safety tip-over switch is a small black button
that must be pressed in to run the heating unit.
This switch is a safety feature to stop the unit from
running if it is tipped over.
