PAIL AND BIRD BATH DE-ICER
SPECIFICATIONS
-200 watts, 120 VAC, 60 Hz
CAUTION - To provide
continued protection
against electric shock
1. Have a qualified electrician install a properly
grounded receptacle outlet, acceptable for
outdoor use and protected from snow and rain,
immediately adjacent to the location where the
heater will be used.
2. Route the supply cord and locate the heater so as
to be protected from damage by animals.
3. Do not use extension cords.
4. Inspect cord before using.
5. Unplug heater at receptacle outlet when not in use.
6. Store heater indoors after winter season.
7. Heating element MUST be completely submerged
while in use to prevent risk of fire hazard.
8. Do not tether unit.
9. Connect only to a circuit that is protected by a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). This is a
sensitive device that cuts off the electricity if there
is any leakage of current. This device may be
obtained from any electrician or hardware store.
IMPORTANT
This product is approved for use only with the
LOCKNDRY Power Supply Cord. The plug on
TM
this product is specially designed to mate with the
LOCKNDRY power supply cord to form a water-
resistant seal.
INSTALLATION
1. The unit should be placed in a pail or bird bath
with water and then plugged into a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected circuit.
2. This de-icer is UL approved for use only with the
LOCKNDRY detachable power supply cord. Do
not use extension cords.
3. The unit is thermostatically controlled so that it
will not turn on until the temperature drops to
around 40°F. If it is removed from the pail or bird
bath, it will turn on and then shut itself off in
about 60-90 seconds. It will then cycle on and off
in this manner.
4. The safety thermostat should be regarded as
an emergency backup, therefore, install the
de-icer so that it will not come into contact with
combustible material.
5. For proper operation, keep the water level above
the de-icer.
6. Make sure that the electrical connections are
staked or positioned to keep them out of snow
or water.

snug against the mounting
surface.

MAINTENANCE
Do not allow lime or other impurities in the water to
build up on the heating element. The frequency of
cleaning depends directly upon the composition of
your water supply. To remove buildup, first remove
the metal guard by removing the center screw and
nut. Soak the heating element in vinegar or a lime-
removing cleaner obtained at any farm or hardware
store, and use a non-metallic brush to remove
any remaining buildup. Inspect the element for
any cracks before reinstalling the guard. Be sure
the screw and nut are attached firmly. During the
heating season, empty and refill your bird bath
regularly to prevent buildup.

icer is defective and still within the warranty period,

or consequential damage resulting from either a
