Operation
Flying insects are attracted by the UV light, which is mounted behind a high-voltage
electrical grid. When touching the grid, the insects are electrocuted and fall into the
collector.
1.
Place or hang the insect killer in a dry location.
2.
Plug the power cord into a suitable mains outlet.
3.
Switch off the insect killer by unplugging the appliance from the mains.
5.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Caution – Risk of electroshock. Never touch the metal grid with your bare hands.
The cleaning frequency depends on the intensity of use. Check the tray of the device at
least once a week. Clean more often if necessary.
Discharging the Device before Maintenance
1.
Unplug the device from the mains and wait for 5 minutes.
2.
Use a screwdriver with an insulated handle. Make sure you hold the screwdriver by
the handle only.
3.
Short-circuit the two wires of the inner metal grid by gently touching them
simultaneously with the metal shaft of the screwdriver. This may cause a spark.
4.
Repeat until no more sparks appear.
Cleaning the Device
1.
Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position and the power plug is
disconnected from the mains outlet before starting any maintenance activity.
2.
Discharge the device.
3.
Slide the insect collector tray out of the device to dispose of dead insects.
4.
Clean the insect killer regularly with a dry, clean cloth. Do not submerge in any
liquid.
5.
Make sure that no dust accumulates on the UV lamps, as this will greatly reduce
their effectiveness.
6.
Only use a plastic brush to clean the high-voltage grid. Brush gently to avoid
damage.
