insect collector

Operation

Flying insects are attracted by UV light, which is mounted behind a high- voltage electrical grid. When touching the grid, the insects are electrocuted and fall into the collector.

Place or hang the insect killer in a dry location. Make sure the on-off switch is in the OFF position and plug the power cord into a suitable mains outlet.
Switch on the insect killer by moving the on-off switch to the ON position.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Caution – Risk of electroshock. Never touch the metal grid with your bare hands.
The cleaning frequency depends on the intensity of use. Check the tray of the device at least once a week. Clean more often if necessary.
Discharging the Device before Maintenance

Unplug the device from the mains and wait for 5 minutes.
Use a screwdriver with an insulated handle. Make sure you hold the screwdriver by the handle only.
Short-circuit the two wires of the inner metal grid by gently touching them simultaneously with the metal shaft of the screwdriver. This may cause a spark.
Repeat until no more sparks appear.

Cleaning the Device

Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position and the power plug is disconnected from the mains outlet before starting any maintenance activity.
Discharge the device.
Slide the insect collector tray out of the device to dispose of dead insects.
Clean the insect killer regularly with a dry, clean cloth. Do not submerge in any liquid.
Make sure that no dust accumulates on the UV lamps, as this will greatly reduce their effectiveness.
Only use a plastic brush to clean the high-voltage grid. Brush gently to avoid damage.
