INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack unit. Save carton for off-season storage (if needed). Remove cardboard insert from the retaining cage.
Place the air damper assembly in the retaining cage with the crossbar facing up. Align the six damper notches with the matching notches on the retaining cage.
Place the trap on the retaining cage and twist clockwise to the lock position.
If hanging the unit, place it approximately 3 – 6 feet above floor or ground for optimal catch-rate and easy access for cleaning. Unit can also be placed on the floor or ground.
Flip power switch to “ON” (“I”) position. The switch is located under the upper housing near the light bulbs.
For best catch results, leave unit on at all times, except when cleaning or servicing.
Catch rate activity will be higher at night. For best catch results, place unit away from other competing light sources.
It is recommended to place the unit 20 – 40 feet away from where people will be sitting.
This unit is all-weather resistant – designed for outdoor use including rainy conditions. Intended for household and commercial, indoor and outdoor use.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES – In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing of a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical to those parts in the appliance. The symbol must be identical to those parts in the appliance. A double-insulated appliance is marked with the words “DOUBLE INSULATION”, “DOUBLE-INSULATED” or the symbol:

REPLACING BULBS

HOW THE DYNATRAP® INSECT TRAP WORKS

HOW THE DYNATRAP® INSECT TRAP WORKS Flying insects are attracted to the unit by the UV light and CO2 that is generated by the photo-catalysis between the UV lamps and the special TiO2 coating. The fan then pulls the insects into the screened base, trapping them until they dehydrate and die. The base can be removed, allowing the contents to be periodically emptied into the trash. The see-through screen shows the insects trapped in the compartment, alerting you when the cage needs to be emptied.
