WARNING: Electrical HazardFollow these instructions to avoid the risk of fire or shock.
This mat must be installed per HeatTrak™ instructions.
To guard against electric shock, plug the mat into a properly grounded GFCI outdoor receptacle.
Inspect the cord for damage before plugging into the receptacle.
Unplug the cord from the receptacle before removing.
Store the mat indoors after the winter season.
Do not remove or modify the Equipment Leakage Circuit Interrupter (ELCI) or the plug connected to the mat.
The power supply cord is not replaceable.
Do not plug in a mat while rolled up.
Do not drive any of nails, screws, fasteners, or other objects through the rubber surface of the mat.
Use only the brass grommets for attachment.

Unpacking
Review all safety warnings. Take the HeatTrak® mat to the place where it is going to be used and unpack it there.
Save the packaging materials for storing the mat off-season.
Save these instructions for review in the future.
Installing The HeatTrak® Mat
The HeatTrak® mat should be installed on flat or inclined surfaces only.
The mat can be installed at temperatures down to -21°C. (-5°F).
Clearing The Area
Clear all existing ice and snow from the area where you will be installing the HeatTrak® mat. Make sure the surface is free of any sharp objects such as rocks, glass or loose nails which could cause damage to the bottom of the mat. If there is a lot of hard packed ice in the area you wish to treat, use the HeatTrak® mat to melt the ice away. Simply roll out the mat over the snow and/or ice and plug it in. Depending upon the amount of ice and the outside temperature this could take a full day or more. Once the ice has melted, roll the mat back up and clean the area of sharp items.
Rolling Out The Mat
Align the powered end of the mat correctly so it will roll out in a straight line over the area you wish to keep free of ice and snow. Roll the mat out and adjust it to fit exactly as you want it.
At cold temperatures the mat is less flexible and may not lay perfectly flat. Power the mat and as it heats up it will flatten and can be adjusted to the final position before being secured.
Securing The Mat
The mat was designed with a series of 3/8” diameter brass grommets along each edge to make securing the mat both simple and effective. Although not mandatory, securing the mat minimizes tripping
and keeps it from moving. To secure the mat you must use these grommets. We recommend different methods of securing the mat depending on the nature of the surface:
Concrete, Brick, Stone or Asphalt
Masonry anchors and washers.
Wood
Wood screws or lag bolts and washers.
Steel
Nuts, bolts and washers.
Testing The Power Cord And Safety Device
The HeatTrak® mat is manufactured with a built-in Equipment Leakage Circuit Interrupter (ELCI).
This device turns off the power and prevents fire if the mat is damaged.
It is important to test the ELCI to be certain it is working properly both after the mat is installed and before seasonal use.
Testing Procedure
- Locate the test and reset buttons on the device.
- Plug the power cord into the outlet. Press the reset button (the button closest to the light). The light should go on.
- Press the test button (the lower of the two buttons). The light should go out.
- Press the reset button again and the light should come back on.
- If the light does not come on, make sure there is voltage at the outlet.
- If the safety device still does not work, call The Window & Door Centre Inc. @ 519.686.0606 for customer service.
Operation and Storage
Power the HeatTrak® mat whenever there is a threat of snow or ice.
It is recommended that at the end of the winter season it is unplugged and stored.
Before storing the mat clean it with soap and water, let it dry thoroughly and roll it up.
Place the power cord and safety device inside the rolled mat and store in the original packaging.
