• Keep the heating cable away from flammable materials.
• Never cut or overlap the heating cable. Overlapping can cause excessive heat buildup and damage.
• When using mulch, ensure the heating cable is completely buried to prevent overheating.
• Vent cold frames during warm spells to avoid excessive temperature buildup.
• Ensure the ETL-listed plug is properly connected to a suitable power outlet.
• Do not immerse the thermostat or plug in water.

Setup Istruzzjonijiet

1. Iftaħ il-Kejbil: Carefully uncoil the 26 ft (8 m) heating cable. Ensure there are no kinks or damage to the cable.
2. Pjazzament: Lay out the heating cable in your desired growing area. It can be placed directly on the soil surface or buried 3 to 4 inches (8-10 cm) deep in the soil. Ensure even spacing for uniform heating.
3. Sikura l-Cable: If placing on the surface, use ground stakes to prevent tangling and ensure the cable stays in position.
4. Cover (Optional): For enhanced heat retention and faster results, cover the cable with mulch or a protective film after placement.
5. Qabbad l-Enerġija: Plug the 4.9 ft (1.5 m) power cord into a standard 120V electrical outlet.

Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

The Pawfly Soil Heating Cable features a built-in thermostat for automatic temperature regulation.

• Kontroll awtomatiku tat-temperatura: Once plugged in, the built-in thermostat automatically maintains the heating element temperature at approximately 140 ℉ (±9 ℉).
• Optimal Soil Warming: This element temperature warms the surrounding soil to about 95 ℉, which is ideal for accelerating seed germination and promoting robust root development.
• No manual adjustments are required for temperature settings. The system is designed for continuous, worry-free operation.

Manutenzjoni

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Pawfly Soil Heating Cable, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Spezzjoni regolari: Periodically inspect the cable and power cord for any signs of damage, wear, or fraying. Discontinue use immediately if damage is found.
• Tindif: If the cable is exposed, gently clean off any accumulated soil or debris. Ensure the cable is unplugged before cleaning.
• Ħażna: When not in use for extended periods, clean the cable, coil it neatly, and store it in a dry, protected area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Issolvi l-problemi

If you encounter issues with your soil heating cable, consider the following:

• Ebda Sħana: Ensure the cable is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the outlet has power by plugging in another device.
• Sħana Insuffiċjenti: Verify that the cable is buried at the recommended depth (3-4 inches) and not exposed to cold air. Covering with mulch can improve heat transfer to the soil. Ensure the ambient temperature is not excessively low, which might affect the overall soil temperature despite the cable operating.
• Is-sħana żejda: Ensure the cable is not overlapped or coiled too tightly, as this can lead to localized overheating. Confirm proper ventilation in enclosed spaces like cold frames.
• Ħsara Viżibbli: If the cable or plug shows any signs of physical damage, discontinue use immediately and contact customer support.
