IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING,
When using electric appliances, basic precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
•
To disconnect, turn all controls to the off (“O”) position,
then remove plug from outlet.
•
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing or cleaning.
•
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not put appliance in water or other liquid.
•
This appliance is provided with double insulation. Use only identical replacement parts.
•
Connect only to a circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI).
See instructions for Servicing of Double-Insulated Appliances.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR DOUBLE-INSULATED, CORD-CONNECTED 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.

INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS____________________________
1.
Unpack Unit. Save carton for off-season storage.
2.
If mounting the unit on a wall, place approximately 3-6 feet above floor/ground level for
optimal catch rate and easy access for cleaning.
3.
Plug cord into an outlet or UL listed extension cord as described in “IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIO
NS” and push the power switch to the “ON” position. For best catch results leave
unit on at all times, except when cleaning or servicing.
4.
Catch rate activity will be higher at night. For best catch results it is recommended to place
unit away from other competing light sources. Intended for household use only.
CLEANING____________________________________________________
Frequent cleaning will prolong the life of the unit, ensure fire prevention and provide for more
efficient operation.
1.
Be sure to clean the unit once per week.
2.
Switch the unit off and unplug before cleaning.
3.
For weekly cleaning, remove the retaining cage and remove any build up from the inside of
the retaining cage and Ion with a brush.
4.
Replace Bulbs once a year alter peak season (recommended). When replacing the retaining
cage DO NOT press/push against the screen windows.
REPLACING 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.
1.
Turn power switch to "off" position. UNPLUG UNIT, and allow bulb to cool before replacing.
2.
Remove retaining cage and separate the upper body by removing 4 screws (2 screws on the
back and 2 screws inside the trap, near the upper part of the Ion).
3.
Carefully turn bulbs counterclockwise and then pull bulb straight out.
4.
Locate and insert the new bulbs into sockets, carefully turn clockwise, and make sure the
prongs of the bulb are seated properly. Alter bulbs have been replaced, re-attach upper body.

HOW THE DYNATRAP® INSECT TRAP WORKS______________
Flying insects are attracted to the
unit by UV light and CO2 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.
The see-through screen shows the
insects trapped in the
compartment, alerting you when
the net needs to be emptied.
