HOW DOES THE GECKO INSECT KILLER WORK?
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Mosquitoes, moths and other pests are attracted to UV and other light sources.
Gecko Insect Killers feature specially designed UV lamps that generate a UV wavelength designed for maximum
luring power.
As insects are lured into the unit they come into contact with the electrically charged high voltage grid. They are
electrocuted and drop into the collection tray at the bottom of the unit.
Gecko Zappers comply with Australia and New Zealand Standards. AS/NZS 60335.2.59.
When using electric appliances always observe safety regulations to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating label on the
appliance.
Cord and plug
Always unplug the appliance from mains supply when not in use. Do not abuse or damage the power cord. If
the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid hazard.
