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. A double-insulated appliance is marked with the words “DOUBLE INSULATION”, “DOUBLE INSULATED” or the symbol

INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack unit. Save carton for off-season storage (if needed).
If hanging or mounting the trap place approximately 3–6 feet above the floor/ground level for optimal catch rate and easy access for cleaning.
If mounting the trap to a wall, secure the mounting bracket to a wall, fence, or other stationary surface using the mounting hardware (included). Then, mount the trap on the bracket by sliding the mounting channel on the side wall of the trap over the mounting bracket peg.
Turn power switch to “ON” position (the power switch is located under the rain protector).
If using outdoors, plug cord into an outdoor extension cord as described in “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”.
For best catch results leave unit on at all times, except when cleaning or servicing.
If using outdoors, it is recommended to place the unit 20-40 feet away from where people will be sitting.
Catch rate activity will be higher at night. For best catch results it is recommended to keep the unit away from competing light sources. 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.

REPLACING BULB

Replace With DynaTrap Bulb #41050 (or equivalent G24 Type – 120V/7W UVA Bulb)

The Light bulb life expectancy is approximately 3,000 hours (or about 4 months), and should be replaced regularly to ensure optimal UV effectiveness. Even though the bulb’s light may be visible to you, its ability to attract insects diminishes over time.

UNPLUG UNIT, and allow bulb to cool before replacing.
Remove screw (A). Twist cover counter-clockwise (B). Tilt cover back to expose bulb (C). Note: Upper and lower sections will remain connected by electrical wire – Do Not Pull or Attempt To Disconnect.
Untighten the screw securing the base of the light bulb to the light housing. Slide the metal clip to the side. Cover the bulb with a cloth to protect your finger and hand. Grasp the bulb (with your hand and fingers protected by the cloth) and gently pull the bulb from the socket.
Remove any debris from the lamp socket with a brush before inserting the new bulb. Replace the metal clip over the base of the bulb and tighten the retaining screw.
Replace cover onto grill and twist clockwise to lock, replace screw and tighten to secure.

HOW THE DYNATRAP® MOSQUITO TRAP WORKS

Flying mosquitoes are attracted to the unit by the UV light. The fan then pulls the mosquitoes 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 mosquitoes trapped in the compartment, alerting you when the cage needs to be emptied.
