Troubleshooting
Thermometer Reset
If you’re having issues getting a temperature reading, you may need to reset
the thermometer and probe. To do that, remove the batteries from the sensor
and the display screen at the same time. Put the batteries back in the display
screen rst, followed by the probe.
Keep in mind that the display screen may lose signal if it is too far away from
the thermometer probe, or if the unit heats above 140°F. If this happens, simply
follow the reset instructions above.
Safety Tip Over Switch
If you plug in and turn on the heating unit and it still does not turn on, please
check the safety tip over switch which is a little black button on the bottom of
the red square heating unit. This button needs to be pressed in for the heating
unit to turn on and is designed so that if the unit is knocked over, possibly
blocking the vents, it turns off for safety. When the heating unit is plugged into
a wall outlet and is at on the ground the button should naturally be pressed in
and the heating unit should turn on.
Getting Up to Temperature
It can take a while for the unit to fully heat up, sometimes 2-3 hours or more
depending on ambient temperature or the size of the treatment load.
The most common reasons why the unit struggles to get up to 120°F are
ambient conditions and item arrangement. The ZappBug Oven 2
works best in
rooms that are 70°F or above.
Whenever possible do not place the ZappBug Oven 2 on concrete ooring.
If you must, place insulation such as cardboard or area rugs between the
ZappBug Oven 2 and the oor in order to limit heat loss.
Always arrange items as spread out as possible to allow air to ow easily
throughout the ZappBug Oven 2.
Thermometer Probe Channel
If you are aren’t able to receive a signal from the thermometer probe you may
need to set the probe channel. To do that, take the back off of the thermometer
probe and change the channel by sliding the button to position 1. The probe
needs to be on the correct channel in order to monitor treatment correctly.
Circuits popping
Each heating unit should be run on its own circuit to avoid electrical overload.
