REPLACING BULB Replace With DynaTrap Bulb #41050 (or equivalent G24 Type - 56V/7W Bulb)
The light bulb life expectancy is approximately 3,000 hours (or about 4 months), and should be replaced regularly to ensure
optimal UV effectiveness. Even though the bulb's light may be visible to you, its ability to attract insects diminishes over time.
1. Turn power switch to "off" position. UNPLUG UNIT, and allow bulb to cool before replacing.
2. Twist the cage clockwise. Turn the unit upside down.
3. Remove the four screws securing the fan housing to the light housing. After removing the screws, gently pull the fan

HOW THE DYNATRAP
INSECT TRAP WORKS
®
Flying insects are attracted to the unit by the UV light and CO2
that is generated by the photo-catalysis between the UV lamps
and the special TiO2 coating. The fan then pulls the insects into
the screened base, trapping them until they dehydrate and die.
The base can be removed, allowing the contents to be periodically
emptied into the trash. Monitor the insects trapped in the
retaining cage, through the see-through screen, and empty when
compartment becomes full.
