Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.
Flying insects are attracted by the UV light [D] which is mounted behind a high-voltage electrical
grid [B]. When touching the grid, the insects are electrocuted and fall into the collector [C].
1. Place or hang the insect killer in a dry location. Make sure the on/off switch [A] is in the OFF
position and plug the power cord into a suitable mains outlet.
2. Switch on the insect killer by moving the on/off switch [A] to the ON position.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Warning! Never touch the metal grid with your bare hands. If you need to clean the tray,
follow the safety instructions carefully.
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.
6.1 Discharging the Device before Maintenance
1. Unplug the device from the mains.
2. Use a screwdriver with an insulated handle. Make sure you hold the screwdriver by the handle only.
3. Short-circuit the 2 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.
6.2

Cleaning the Device

1. Make sure the power switch [A] is in the OFF position and the power plug is disconnected from the
mains outlet before starting any maintenance activity.
2. Discharge the device (see 6.1).
3. Slide the insect collector tray [C] 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.
6.3 Replacing Lamps and Starters
When the lamps are worn, you must replace them with an identical type (see Technical
Specifications).
1. Make sure the power switch [A] is in the OFF position and the power plug is disconnected from the
mains outlet before starting any maintenance activity.
2. Discharge the device (see 6.1).
3. Remove the two screws on the back of the device (indicated by the arrows in the illustration on
page 2).
4. Gently pull the outer grid; it will rotate around the screws at the bottom.
5. To remove a UV lamp, gently turn it a quarter turn and pull it upwards out of the sockets.
6. Place a new UV lamp into the socket and turn it a quarter turn to secure it.
7. To replace a starter, turn it a quarter turn and pull it out of the socket.
8. Insert a new starter with the same specifications into the socket and turn it a quarter turn to
secure it.
9. Close the outer grid and fix the two screws.
