PLACEMENT OF YOUR NEW TRAP
• Select the best location to hang or mount your trap, remembering that the Trap will attract flying insects
to it, so it should be placed away from high-traffic areas.
• If placed indoors, keep away from food areas.
• Do NOT use your Octenol attractant cartridge when placed indoors.
• If placed outdoors, hang or mount your Trap at least one and a half meters (5 ft.) above the ground,
ideally out of the reach of children and pets. It is always best if your Trap is placed in a spacious dark
location.
• If the mounting wall is solid wood at least 3/8" (9mm) thick, drive the provided screw onto the wood
surface leaving a gap between the screw head and the wall of about 1/8" (3mm). Hang the trap from
the screw by inserting the head of the screw into the slot at the back of the trap.
• If the mounting wall is concrete, brick, drywall or any other hard material, drill a 3/16th inch hole, at
least as deep as the anchor length. Insert the anchor into the hole until flush with wall surface and drive
the provided one inch long #8 Screw into it, leaving a gap between the screw head and the wall of
about 1/8" (3mm). Hang the trap from the screw by inserting the head of the screw into the slot at the
back of the trap.
• Connect the adapter plug to the Trap first, and then plug the adapter directly into the nearest 110/120V
AC outlet or an approved outdoor use extension cord.
FOR OPTIMAL OPERATION AND PERFORMANCE
• Use your Trap as needed, but avoid unnecessary use.
• When used outdoors to capture mosquitoes, it is recommended to use at least between sunset and
sunrise, their most active periods.
• Store the Trap when not in use.
MAINTENANCE FOR YOUR NEW TRAP
Periodically check that your Trap is clean and the airflow is not blocked.
• Empty the Catch Tray on a regular basis (frequency and amount of insect catch will vary depending on
geographical location and meteorological conditions)
• Always unplug the Trap before cleaning.
• When needed, to clean the upper portion of your Trap pull gently on the center of the clear window and
it will unsnap from the Trap. Wipe or brush away any debris around the bulb cover and fan. You can
also use a damp cloth for cleaning, but do not use any sharp object or detergents or solvents that
might scratch or scrape off the Ti02 coating.
• Dry all parts completely before re-assembling.
CHANGING THE UV BULB
The light emitted by the UV bulb provided with your new Trap is specially manufactured to attract
mosquitoes and other blood seeking flying insects, as well as moths, gnats and other flying insects. The
UV bulb is replaceable at many local retailers (see Technical Data Section for bulb details), or can be
re-ordered at www.koolatron.com, calling 1-800-265-8456.
OPERATION
4
To change your bulb:
• Unplug the adapter from both the unit and the outlet.
• Remove the front clear window cover by pulling GENTLY on the center so it snaps out of the trap.
• Twist and remove the non-functioning bulb and replace with a new bulb by inserting the pins at the end
into the sockets and once both pins of each end are in, twist ¼ turn until the bulb pins snap into the
socket contacts.
• Reattach the clear window by pressing gently, making sure the sides snap into the trap walls and
remain secure in place.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
TRAP DOES NOT OPERATE
• Make sure the adapter plug is nestled snugly into the back of your Trap.
• Make sure the adapter plug is firmly inserted into the electrical outlet.
• Make sure that the electrical outlet has power by trying other electrical devices that are known to be
functional
UV LIGHT DOESN'T WORK WHILE FAN IS OPERATING
• Check that the UV bulb is placed correctly and securely.
• Replace the UV bulb.
MY FAN STOPPED WORKING
• See the "Maintenance" Section and follow instructions to make sure the air flow is not blocked, the
Catch Cup is not full and inhibiting air flow, and that the fan blades are not clogged with debris. Clean
as necessary after unplugging the unit.
MY TRAP DOES NOT CATCH INSECTS EVEN WHEN LIGHT AND FAN ARE OPERATIONAL
• Make sure that the catch tray is properly inserted all the way into the trap.
• Check for obstructions or foreign objects blocking the airflow into the trap (slot under the UV bulb)
• Check the airflow direction by making sure that a strong stream of air is coming out from the bottom
of the unit. If this is not the case, the fan may be inverted and it may need to be serviced. Please call
Customer Service if this is the case.
• Ensure the catch tray does not have any holes or tears on the mesh areas
• Ensure the trap is not close to any insect repellents, volatile substances or strong odors that may repel
the insects form the area.
• Make sure you have left the trap on at least for a full night (from 5pm to 6am for example) and that the
weather is not too cold for insects to be out.
