OPERATION
1. Plug in the adapter’s power cord to an approved "Outdoor Use" extension cord and in accordance with the safety
instructions
2
. Plug the adapter end into the socket on the underside of the trap body as shown.
3. Locate the ON/OFF switch on the side of the main body. This activates the heater and the vacuum fan. Turn it to the
"ON" position.
4. Leave the Mosquito Trap turned on and the burner lit. The Mosquito Trap will operate for 4 to 6 weeks continuously
capturing mosquitoes on a single tank of propane.
MAINTENANCE
1. Check the capture cup on a regular basis depending on how many mosquitoes are being trapped. Start by checking the
trap once a week and adjust according to the catch. Use only clean water to rinse the cup, do not use any chemical or
soap as the fragrance may repel mosquitoes from the trap. In many cases, the large amount of airflow through the cup,
grinds captured mosquitoes against the metal mesh, breaking them into small pieces, which are then blown through the
screen.
2. Refill the propane tank, as necessary when using continuously. Turn off the unit and disconnect the electrical supply
before changing the tank.
3. Keep the area around the Mosquito Trap clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and any other flammable
vapors and liquids.
4. Keep the propane cylinder enclosure area free and clear from debris.
5. Clean the Mosquito Traps outside surface with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Do Not Spray with or immerse any
part in water.
6. Replacement parts (Regulator with hose, Catch Cup) are available from Koolatron, Inc.
7. Store the Mosquito Trap in a cool dry place when not in use and AWAY FROM ANY CHEMICALS.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE MOSQUITO TRAP
To achieve the best results from your Mosquito Trap, you must leave it in operation full-time during the mosquito
season. The trap is not meant for occasional use, such as during an outdoor party.
A capture of only a few mosquitoes daily, can have a future impact. It is for this reason, we recommend to leave
the trap operating full-time. Over time, you may notice a reduction in the number of mosquitoes in the trap.
Open the gas valve on the tank to the full open position by
turning it counterclockwise until the knob stops rotating.
STARTING THE MOSQUITO TRAP
Step 2:
Press and hold the safety button. While looking into the center of
the burner unit through the window, press the red button until a
blue flame appears inside the window directly in front of you.
WARNING If the unit does not light within approximately 10
seconds, then release the gas button and wait at
least 60 seconds for any built up gas to dissipate
before attempting to relight.
NOTE: When installing a new or refilled propane tank, it may
take up to 30 seconds for the gas to reach the burner.
Step3: Continue to hold the safety button in for 30 additional seconds after the initial ignition.
Then release safety button.
Step 4: Wait 60 seconds between lighting attempts to allow unburnt gas to escape.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 if the burner goes out. There is a safety device that must warm up enough to
allow gas to the burner after the safety button is released (no longer pushed in).
