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.
- Place or hang the insect killer in a dry location.
- Plug the power cord into a suitable mains outlet.
- Switch off the insect killer by unplugging the appliance from the mains.
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
- Unplug the device from the mains and wait for 5 minutes.
- Use a screwdriver with an insulated handle. Make sure you hold the screwdriver by the handle only.
- 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.
- Repeat until no more sparks appear.

- 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.
