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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Please read these instructions before using the DynaTrap

®

 Insect Trap and keep for future reference.

1.  Always turn unit off and disconnect plug before servicing or cleaning.
2.  Do not position the unit near heat, gas, oil or other flammable materials.
3.  Mount out of reach from children. 
4.  Never operate this product if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or  

 

 

damaged, or if it has been dropped into water.

5.  The electrical adapter provided with this product is equipped with a 2-conductor cord and a 2-prong.  
 

If the plug does not fully fit in the outlet, contact a qualified electrician. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,  

 

only plug into a properly installed outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

6.   Do not insert fingers or any foreign objects into the unit while it is connected to an electrical outlet.
7.   Collected insects within the unit may contribute to fire, so clean insects from the unit frequently.
8.  Do not clean this product with water spray. Do not place where it can fall into water, or near flammable materials.
9.  Do not touch fan while in motion.
10.  Do not abuse cord—never carry or hang unit by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle.  

 

 

Keep cord away from sharp edges.

11.  If using outdoors, use only extension cords with a tag stating “Suitable for Use with Outdoor Appliances”.
12.  Use only extension cords that have plug and receptacles that match the product plug.  
 

Replace or repair damaged cords.

13.  Only use attachments recommended or sold by the manufacturer

14. 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. A double-insulated appliance is  

  marked with the words “DOUBLE INSULATION”,  “DOUBLE INSULATED” or the            symbol. 

INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Unpack unit. Save carton for off-season storage (if needed).
2.  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.

3.  If mounting the trap to a wall, secure the mounting bracket to a wall, fence, or other stationary surface using the  
 

mounting hardware (included).  Then, mount the trap on the bracket by sliding the mounting channel on the side wall  

 

of the trap over the mounting bracket peg.

4.  Turn power switch to “ON” position (The power switch is located under the rain protector).
5.  If using outdoors, plug cord into an outdoor extension cord as described in  
 

“IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”.

6.  For best catch results leave unit on at all times, except when cleaning or servicing.
7.  If using outdoors, it is recommended to place the unit 20-40 feet away from where people will be sitting.
8.  Catch rate activity will be higher at night. For best catch results it is recommended to keep the unit away from competing  
 

light sources. Intended for household use only. 

9.  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.

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.
1.  Be sure to clean the unit once per week
2.  Unplug before cleaning
3.  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 (included).  

 

 

Replace damper, snap firmly into place.

4.  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. 

5.   When replacing the retaining cage – DO NOT press / push against the screen windows.

REPLACING BULB 

Replace With DynaTrap Bulb #41050 (or equivalent G24 Type - 120V/7W UVA 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.  UNPLUG UNIT, and allow bulb to cool before replacing.
2.  Remove screw (A). Twist cover counter-clockwise (B). Tilt cover back to expose bulb (C).  Note: Upper and lower sections   
 

will remain connected by electrical wire - Do Not Pull or Attempt To Disconnect.

3.  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.

4.  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.

5.  Replace cover onto grill and twist clockwise to lock, replace screw and tighten to secure.
