Place out of reach from children.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not put the appliance in water or other liquid.

This appliance is provided with double insulation. Use only identical replacement parts. See instructions for Servicing Double-Insulated Appliances.

INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack the 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 four (4) screws. Then, mount the trap on the bracket by sliding the mounting channel on the side wall of the trap over the mounting bracket peg.
For the best catch result, leave the unit on at all times, except when cleaning or servicing
Catch rate activity will be higher at night. For best catch results it is recommended to keep the unit away from competing light sources.
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. 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:

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 according to 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 to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS – CLEANING

Clean the trap at least once a week to prolong life of the unit, insure fire prevention, and provide for more efficient operation.

Be sure to clean the unit once per week.
Unplug before cleaning.
For weekly cleaning, twist the cage clockwise, and remove the damper by grasping the crossbar near the edge of the damper. Pull up firmly. Remove any buildup from the inside of the retaining cage and fan with a brush. Replace the damper, snap firmly into place.
For major cleaning, remove the screws securing the fan housing to the light housing. After removing the screws, gently pull the fan housing away from the light housing. Using a soft brush, remove dirt and debris from the light housing. Once the cleaning process has been completed, align the screw holes in the fan housing with the screw holes in the lighting unit and tighten the screws to the base of the lighting unit.
When replacing the retaining cage, DO NOT press/push against the screen windows.

REPLACING BULB

Replace With DynaTrap Bulb #41050

The Light bulb’s 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 the cover counter-clockwise (B). Tilt the 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.

HOW THE DYNATRAP® INSECT TRAP WORKS

Flying insects are attracted to the unit by UV light and C02 that is generated by the photo-catalysis between the UV lamps and 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.
