Operating principle
The insect-killer is designed to attract flying insects, such as flies, moths, mosquitoes, etc. using
ultraviolet light. As they fly towards with light, they fly into an electrified metal screen that
electrocutes them.
The device
The Fly Away Metal 16/30/40-2 insect-killer is highly efficient and safe. It is fitted with a safety
switch so that should there be a short-circuit in the device, it will not blow your entire domestic
electricity system, but just trip the insect-killer itself.
The electrified screen is made from stainless steel. This material has been chosen so that there
is only minimal crackling on electrocution and the insects neither combust nor is the material
damaged.
The special UV lamps are totally harmless to humans and pets.
An external safety screen protects users from coming into unintentional contact with the
electrified screen.
The insect-killer uses no chemicals or sprays, does not emit smoke or odours, produces no
waste and is environmentally friendly.
The Fly Away Metal 16/30/40-2 insect-killer is designed to be used indoors, in the home, in work
areas, retail outlets, etc.
Installation
When placing and installing the insect-killer, it is important to take the location of the device in
the room/space into account.
1. Hang the insect-killer centrally in the room; that way, the ultraviolet light can be dispersed
better and attract insects from the entire area.
2. Hang the insect-killer or a wall or in a corner if the room/area is not very large.
3. The best height for the insect-killer is 1.5 to 2 metres off the ground, which is the most
common flying height for insects.
4. The insect-killer can be suspended from the chain or placed on a surface such as a table or
cabinet. Make sure it is on a good stable base.
5. Install your insect-killer in a relatively dark place: not in direct sunlight (windows, doors),
because bright sunlight weakens the insect-killer's radiation power. Artificial light does not
weaken the radiation, but makes it work less well.
Use and Maintenance
Using for the first time
Make sure that the power socket you intend using is earthed and the correct voltage (220/240V-
50Hz). Start the insect-killer working by plugging the device in and then setting the ON/OFF
switch (O/I) to ON (press in 'I'). The insect-killer is operating.
If desired, attractants can be poured or laid in the appropriate collection tray.
Service
For safety reasons, the user may not open the grille. So you may not replace lamps, the fuse or
the starter yourself: consult a certified electrician or other qualified professional for this. The
fuse and the starter of the Fly Away Metal 16-2 form a part of the circuit board, which can also
only be replaced by a qualified professional.
Cleaning
Regularly empty the collection tray by pulling it out of the appliance. Then empty and clean it.
Dust and dirt influence the appliance's effectiveness, so regularly clean the appliance. Switch
the appliance off, remove the plug from the socket and remove the collection tray. If you lay the
appliance down, you can remove dust and dirt from the appliance using e.g. a vacuum cleaner,
