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.

 3.   Plug cord into an outlet or UL listed extension cord as described in “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”.
 4.   Hold the Power switch on the side of the revolving rotation door. Twist the unit to the “Power ON”  

position. When you hear a “click”, the machine is turned on. 

 5.  For best catch results leave unit on at all times, except when cleaning or servicing.
 6.   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.

 7.  It is recommended to place the unit at least 10 to 20 feet away from where people will be sitting.
 8.  This unit is all weather resistant – designed for outdoor use including rainy conditions.

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.   To clean, hold the switch on the revolving rotation door and turn it to the “POWER OFF” position. After hearing the “click”, 

the machine is turned off. Unplug the unit.

 3.   For weekly cleaning, remove the screw securing the retaining cage and then twist the cage clockwise. Remove any buildup from the inside 

of the retaining cage and fan with a brush (included).

 4.   For major cleaning, remove the four 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

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 turn unit upside down.
 3.   Remove the four 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, 
untighten the screw securing the base of the light bulb to the light housing. Slide the metal bracket 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 plate over the base of the bulb 

and tighten the retaining screw.

 5.   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. 
 6.  Replace the retaining cage at the bottom of the unit.

HOW THE DYNATRAP

®

 INSECT TRAP WORKS

Flying insects are attracted to the unit by UV light and CO

2

 that is 

generated by the photo-catalysis between the UV lamps and spe-
cial TiO

2

 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.
