8.   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

, and gently twist to separate. Do not disconnect 

wires. Using the cleaning brush, remove dirt and debris from the fan housing. Once the cleaning process has been completed, check

REPLACING BULB 

Replace with DynaTrap

®

 bulb #41050  (or equivalent G24 Type - 56V/7W bulb)

The lightbulb 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 mosquitoes diminishes over time.

1.  Hold the switch on the revolving rotation door and turn it to the “POWER OFF” position. UNPLUG UNIT, and allow bulb to cool before replacing.

2.   Remove the screw securing the fan housing to the light housing 

(

A

)

, and gently twist to separate carefully, do not disconnect wires. Loosen 

the screw securing the metal bracket securing the lightbulb 

(

B

)

 and remove the metal bracket. Cover the bulb with a cloth to protect your 

fingers and hand. Grasp the bulb (with your hand and fingers protected by the cloth) and gently pull the bulb from the socket 

(

)

3.   Remove any debris from the lamp socket with cleaning brush. Insert new bulb. Reposition the metal bracket over the base of the bulb and 

tighten the screw. Check that the connection is secure before tucking the wires into the channel, so the wires do not get pinched or cut by 

the fan

. Align the screw holes and place the light housing on top of fan housing. Secure with a “click” and tighten the screw to the base 

of the light housing.

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.
