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.

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 difcult 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 Oven 2TM.
• Bed Bugs suffer from thermal shock and are immediately unable to
move at temperatures above 150OF.
• For more information please visit www.zappbug.com/get-rid-of-bed-bugs
THE ZAPPBUG OVEN 2TM
• 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 signicantly 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 heating unit is on. Make sure to turn the heating
unit on before placing potentially infested items inside the
ZappBug Oven 2TM.
• Only use indoors with an ambient room temperature above 70OF. The
heating unit works by adding heat to the air from the room in which it is
located. If the ambient temperature is below 70OF, the ZappBug Oven 2TM
may not reach bed bug killing temperatures.
• Always monitor temperature inside the ZappBug Oven 2TM with a
thermometer. (Wireless thermometer included.)
• Do not place the ZappBug Oven 2TM directly on cold oors such as
concrete. Always place the ZappBug Oven 2TM on surfaces at room
temperature (above 70OF).
Warning: Extension Cords
Some extension cords are not adequate to carry the load of current drawn by
this heating unit 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 heating 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.
Additional Warnings
• Failure to comply with the Warnings presented by this manual may result in
severe injury and/or damage to property.
• Incorrect assembly or improper use may result in hazardous conditions.
Only assemble according to instructions in this manual.
• Do not block air intake or exhaust vents on heating unit. Obstructions of
the intake or exhaust vents can cause the heating unit to overheat.
• Do not use outdoors or in a wet environment. This product is designed for
use indoors only.
• Do not block exhaust vents. This can cause damage to the
heating units.
• Do not reach into or insert objects into ventilation fan while running. This
may result in injury or damage.
• Do not place ammable objects or aerosols inside the ZappBug Oven 2TM
• Some items may be damaged during heat treatment. Use Caution when
heat treating fragile items such as antique books, items made of wood,
and other belongings.
• Consult the manufacturer of items in question (such as electronics) for
a maximum safe temperature before placing them in the ZappBug Oven
2TM. Always monitor temperature to ensure that temperature never exceeds
safe level.

3. Select Appropriate Support Conguration
The ZappBug Oven 2’s unique and modular support system is designed to
accommodate a wide range of items. Support blocks allow for ventilation
around rigid, heavy items such as luggage and small furniture. A combination
of Support Blocks and the Support Net allow for ventilation around loose items
such as books and clothing. Select the appropriate support conguration for
your items as shown below. It is critical that air is allowed to ow freely around
the items you are heat treating.

4. Locate Two Independent Power Outlets
NOTE: Each heating unit must be powered from it’s own circuit. Typical residential
and commercial buildings have one circuit per room. Use the included extension
cord to reach outlets in other rooms (where necessary).
One power extension cord is included in each ZappBug Oven 2. Plug one
heating unit directly into a nearby electrical outlet.
Locate an electrical outlet in another room or area that operates on a separate
electrical circuit. Typically, each room will have it’s own independent electrical
circuit. Use the included power extension cord to connect the remaining heating
unit to this separate electrical outlet.
Use & Operation (continued) Use & Operation (continued)
5. Insert Items For Heat Treatment
Place items inside the Oven 2TM on top of Support Blocks/Support Net. To ensure
adequate airow, items should not touch walls or ceiling of the Oven 2TM. Place
wireless thermometer probe inside deepest (most insulated) location in items
being treated. After that, zip the top cover closed.
Hint: Always open luggage and “uff” items to ensure air circulation. If items are
densely packed, they take longer to heat.
6. Wireless Thermometer Setup
The ZappBug Oven 2TM comes with an included thermometer base station and a
remote probe, pictured below.

7. Turn On Heating Units
Plug each heating unit into the included timers, then plug
included timers into outlets. Select the appropriate time
setting on the timer by pressing the “on” button to cycle
through the time options after the timer is plugged in.
We recommend using the 8 hour setting for large
loads and the 4 hour setting for small to medium loads.
Always use the included thermometer to conrm that
temperature reaches lethal levels (see step 6).
Safety Note: Each heating unit draws 1500 watts of electrical power. Each
heating unit should be plugged into separate circuits, using the included
extension cord if necessary.
Heating unit not
turning on?
When the heating unit is plugged in and timer is on
they should automatically be powered on. If they
are not check the safety tip-over switch - that will
be 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 the red unit is at on
the ground the button should naturally be pressed in
and the heating unit should turn on.

Use & Operation (continued)
8. Wait Appropriate Time
It is impossible to know the temperature at every location in your items so we have
developed and tested a foolproof strategy to ensure that your heat treatment is
effective.
Bed bugs die at temperatures of 120oF or above in less than two minutes. However,
they begin dieing at temperatures above 113oF. Several studies have shown that
bed bugs die over a range of temperatures and that the higher the temperature,
the less time it takes to kill them. Standard practice for heat treating is to measure
the temperature at one, representative location. When the temperature at this
location reaches 120oF and is held at 120oF (or above) for one hour, you can be
condent that any bed bugs in your belongings are dead.

Common ZappBug Troubleshooting Tips
Thermometer Reset
If you’re having issues getting a temperature reading, you may need to do a
simple thermometer reset. To do that, take the batteries out of both the sensor
and the display screen at once. Then put them back in the DISPLAY SCREEN
FIRST, followed by the sensor.
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).
Keep in mind that the display screen may lose signal if it is too far away from
the unit, or if the unit heats above 140oF. If this happens, simply follow the reset
instructions above.
Safety Tip-Over Switch
If you plug in your heating unit and it does not turn on, please check the
safety tip-over switch - that will be 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 the red unit is at on the ground the button should naturally be pressed in
and the heating unit should turn on.
Getting up to Temperature
The most common reasons why the unit struggles to get up to 120oF are
ambient conditions and item arrangement. The ZappBug Oven 2TM works best
in rooms that are 70oF or above. Whenever possible do not run the unit on
concrete ooring; if you must place insulation such as cardboard or area rugs
between the ZappBug Oven 2TM 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 unit.
Thermometer Probe Channel
If you are aren’t able to receive a signal from the thermometer probe you may
need to set probe channel. To do that, take the back off each thermometer
probes’ back and change the channel by sliding the button to position 1.
Each probe needs to be on the correct channel in order to monitor treatment
correctly.
Circuits popping
Make sure each red heating unit is on its own circuit.
