It is recommended to place the unit at least 20 to 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.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS – CLEANING

Frequent cleaning will prolong the life of the unit, ensure fire prevention and provide for more efficient operation.

Be sure to clean the unit once per week.
To clean, hold the switch on the revolving rotation door and turn it to the “POWER OFF” position. After hearing the “click,” the machine is turned off. Unplug the unit.
For weekly cleaning, twist the cage clockwise and remove any buildup from the inside of the retaining cage and fan with a cleaning brush.
For major cleaning, remove the screw securing the fan housing to the light housing (A) , and gently twist to separate. Do not disconnect wires. Using the cleaning brush, remove dirt and debris from the fan housing. Once the cleaning process has been completed, check that the connection is secure before tucking the wires into the channel, so the wires do not get pinched or cut by the fan (D). Align the screw holes and place the light housing on top of fan housing. Secure with a click and tighten the screw to the base of the light housing.
IMPORTANT: When replacing the retaining cage DO NOT press/push against the screen windows.

REPLACING BULB

Replace with DynaTrap® bulb #41050 (or equivalent G24 Type – 56V/7W bulb) The lightbulb 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 mosquitoes diminishes over time.

Hold the switch on the revolving rotation door and turn it to the “POWER OFF” position. UNPLUG UNIT, and allow bulb to cool before replacing.
Remove the screw securing the fan housing to the light housing (A) , and gently twist to separate carefully, do not disconnect wires. Loosen the screw securing the metal bracket securing the lightbulb (B) and remove the metal bracket. Cover the bulb with a cloth to protect your fingers and hand. Grasp the bulb (with your hand and fingers protected by the cloth) and gently pull the bulb from the socket (C).
Remove any debris from the lamp socket with cleaning brush. Insert new bulb. Reposition the metal bracket over the base of the bulb and tighten the screw. Check that the connection is secure before tucking the wires into the channel, so the wires do not get pinched or cut by the fan (D). Align the screw holes and place the light housing on top of fan housing. Secure with a “click” and tighten the screw to the base of the light housing.

HOW THE DYNATRAP® MOSQUITO TRAP WORKS

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 empties into the trash. The see-through screen shows the mosquitoes trapped in the compartment, alerting you when the cage needs to be emptied.
