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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 5.   This product is equipped with 2-conductor cord and 2-prong polarized plug as a safety feature. This plug will fit in a 

polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fully fit in the outlet, then reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,

with Outdoor Appliances”.

 12.   Use only extension cords that have plug and receptacles that match the product plug. Replace or repair damaged cords.

INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

 1.  Unpack Unit. Save carton for off-season storage (if needed).
 2.   If hanging the unit, place approximately 3–6 feet above floor/ground level for optimal catch rate and easy access for cleaning. 
 3.   Plug cord into an outdoor outlet or UL listed extension cord as described in “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”.
 4.   For best catch results leave unit on at all times, except when cleaning or servicing.
 5.   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.

 6.  It is recommended to place the unit at least 10 to 20 feet away from where people will be sitting.
 7.  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.  Switch the unit off and unplug before cleaning.
 3.   For weekly cleaning, remove the cage by turning it clockwise. Remove any  

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

 4.   For major cleaning, press and separate middle body as described below in  

“Replacing Bulbs.” (recommended once a year after peak season).

 5.   When replacing retaining cage, DO NOT press or hold onto screen windows. Should the  

screen detach from the frame, re-align the screen into the track within the frame.

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.   Separate the middle body from the upper body. Some force may be required to separate the pieces.
 4.   Carefully pull the bulb from the socket and replace with a new one. (NOTE: Bulb may be held in  

place by a metal bracket for shipping. Unscrew and remove metal bracket to remove the bulb.  
The bracket is not necessary and may be discarded.)

 5.   After bulb has been replaced, re-attach middle body to upper body. Make certain that the middle  

body snaps into place and that fan wires are not pinched.

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 special TiO

 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.
