Important Safety
Information
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, read all the
instructions before using this heater. This appliance is intended for household
or personal use only as described in this manual. Any other use including but
not limited to commercial, agricultural, or outdoor use, is not recommended by
the manufacturer. The use of components and accessories other than the ones
provided in this package may produce dangerous results and will void the
warranty.
This Bedbug Heater System requires a total of 50 Amps or 6,000 Watts to
operate. Each heater needs to be plugged into a 120V outlet and each outlet
needs to be on its own circuit. A typical residential and/or commercial building
has one circuit per room. Do not use extension cords rated below 1500 watts or
under 16 gauge.
Due to the size of the product, we recommend a minimum of 150 sq ft space
for set up.
Warnings describe serious consequences resulting from misuse
of this product.

Inspect outlet connection and contact strength before using these
heaters.
WARNING!- Power Outlets Can Be Dangerous
Power outlets with poor electrical connections can become dangerously
overheated and may result in fire, 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 inspect
and/or replace outlet before use.
2. Ensure that the outlet is no older than 15 years
3. Inspect outlet after each use.
4. If you are unsure about the quality of outlet, have an electrician inspect
and/or replace the outlets.
Caution
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
these heaters without becoming dangerously overheated. If an extension cord

3
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
listed mark. Use of an inadequate extension cord may result in overheating of
the extension cord or a risk of fire.
Warning: Old Electrical Wiring and Outlets
Each Bedbug heater unit draws about 12.5 amps of current (1500 Watts) and
must be on its own dedicated circuits rated 15 amps or higher. 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 these bedbug heaters. If electrical cord(s) appears
deformed or becomes hot to the touch, unplug it immediately. Old or faulty
electrical wiring may cause an electric shock, fire or damage to the heater.

Hints & Tips
BED BUGS
Bed bugs are small, oval insects that live in dark spaces close to their
food source and feed at night. They range in size from 1/4” to 3/8” long
and are mahogany or red-brown in color.
Bed bugs hide in all sorts of cracks and crevices including: mattresses,
bed sheets, baseboards, electrical outlets, picture frames, and
furniture. These pests feed on blood and their bites can leave itchy,
bloody welts on the skin, potentially causing allergic reactions.
Studies have found that bed bugs at all life stages die quickly at
temperatures at or above 120°F.
The Dr. Infrared Heater Bedbug Heater kills bed bugs without harming
the environment.
Bed bug eggs are difficult to detect. It’s important to heat treat all
items that may have been infected with bed bugs even if no bed bugs
are found.
Bed bugs can survive for up to 18 months without feeding. It is
critical that all potentially infested items are heat treated or sealed and
stored for 18 months.
Raising the interior temperature above 120°F, a thermal death point,
normally eliminates a bed bug infestation.
THE Bedbug Heater
Heat is an effective way to kill bed bugs, but the temperature must be
at least 120°F in order for the heat treatment to be effective.

Always turn the heater on before placing potentially infested items
inside the Bedbug Toaster™.
Always use indoors with a room temperature above 70℉. If the
room temperature is below 70℉, the Bedbug Heater may not reach
optimal bed bug killing temperatures.
Always monitor the temperature inside the Bedbug Toaster™ with a
thermometer (thermometer included).
Do not operate the Bedbug Heater on cold floors such as concrete or
near areas with high humidity such as bathrooms or laundry areas.
Always place the Bedbug Heater on surfaces at room temperature
(above 70℉).
Connect to properly grounded outlets only.
To disconnect the heater, turn controls to OFF, then remove plug from
outlet. NEVER REMOVE PLUG FROM OUTLET WHEN HEATER IS
IN USE.
Always unplug heater when not in use.
Always plug heater directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. If an
extension cord must be used, do not use a cord set rated less
than1500 watts or 15 amp, and of a minimum size of 16 gauge with
UL listed mark.

unobstructed.
Note: Always turn the heater on when placing potentially infested items
inside the Bedbug Toaster™. Do not put items directly in front of the
heater as it may block the airflow. To avoid overheating, do not put the
heater all the way inside the Bedbug Toaster™. See above Exhibit.
WARNING: YOU MUST ensure that items in the Bedbug Toaster are at
least 12 inches from the heat outlet. Recommended clearance is 9 x 12
(in.) from the heat outlet.
11. Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet. (120VAC, 60Hz)
Important: This heater is for use on 120 volts and comes with a grounded (3
prong) plug. The grounded plug must be used with a grounded outlet. Do not
use an adapter in a 2-slot wall outlet unless the ground plug of the adapter

10
properly connects to a building ground. Using heater without properly grounded
outlet or adapter could result in an electric shock hazard.
The cord has a plug as shown in (A) in the image below. An adapter as shown
in (C) is available for connecting three- prong grounding- type plugs to two- slot
receptacles. The green grounding pin extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. The
adapter should not be used if a three- slot grounded receptacle is available.
12. Setting the timer.
The thermometer alarm will beep when the temperature of the thermometer
sensor reaches 120℉. Press the ALERT button to stop the beeping. Press the
HR and MIN button to set the timer (1-2 hours). Press the START/STOP button
to start the countdown timer.
Studies have found that bed bugs at all life stages die quickly at temperatures
at or above120℉. The higher the temperature, the less time it takes to kill them.
Common practice for heat treating is to measure the temperature at one
representative location. When the temperature at this location reaches 120℉
and is held at 120℉(or above) for one hour, you can be assured that any
bed bugs in your belongings are exterminated.

13. Remove items after heat treatment.
WARNING: Items will be hot after heat treatment. Wait for items to cool
sufficiently before removing from the heater. Parts of the heater, such as the
Bedbug Toaster’s™ metal zippers can remain hot long after heat treatment
and cause burns. Use extreme caution.
