- This unit is all-weather resistant – designed for outdoor use including rainy conditions. Intended for household use only.
- 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 doubleinsulated 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:
FCC COMPLIANCE
This device complies with part 18 of the FCC rules. This product may cause interference to radio equipment and should not be installed near maritime safety communications equipment or other critical navigation or communication equipment operating between 0.45-30 MHz. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. 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.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

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
- Switch the unit off and unplug before cleaning
- Twist the cage clockwise. Remove any buildup from the inside of the retaining cage.
- Clean before off-season storage. IMPORTANT: When replacing the retaining cage DO NOT press/push against the screen windows.
REPLACING BULB Replace With DynaTrap Bulb #43050 (or equivalent G24 Type – 120V/26W 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.
- Turn power switch to “off” position. UNPLUG UNIT, and allow bulb to cool before replacing. Turn the unit upside down.
- Twist the black threaded fastener piece securing the light housing counter clockwise to loosen. Move the light housing to the side.
- Twist the two black threaded fastener pieces securing the light and carefully remove the silver clips.
- 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.
- Remove any debris from the lamp socket with a brush before inserting the new bulb. Insert new replacement bulb. Place metal clips in place and secure black threaded fasteners.
- Twist the light housing clockwise into place and secure the black threaded fastener.
HOW THE DYNATRAP® INSECT TRAP WORKS
Flying insects are attracted to the unit by the UV light and CO2 that is generated by the photocatalysis 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. Monitor the insects trapped in the retaining cage, through the see-through screen, and empty when compartment becomes full.
