may cause fire or an electric shock.
Do not use the appliance standing on the
ground. The appliance must be hung from a
ceiling or wall by the chains provided.
Do not use in Barns, Stables and similar
locations where the naturally combustible
particles in the air create a potential fire
risk.
Do not connect this Insect Killer to any
power source other than properly grounded
ones. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety
feature. This Insect Killer requires a
grounded power source.
A loose fit between the AC outlet (socket)
and plug may cause overheating and a
distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified
electrician to replace loose or worn outlet.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by a qualified electrician or
professional technician.
You must first decide on a safe and
appropriate position to install the unit.
Make sure you have a socket outlet near
enough and that it is correctly gounded.
Site a screw-in cup hook either in the
ceiling or wall by which to hang the unit.
Attach the chain provided to the unit by the
clips attached.
Hang the unit by it’s chain, plug in and
switch on at the socket and the unit.
The tubes should glow flourescent violet
and start to attract any nearby insects.
Insects that are attracted to the light may
come into contact with and get killed by the
inner high voltage grill.
If the lights come on but the inner grill is
not working, return for replacement or
repair to your local KOBE distributor.
Before using your Insect Killer for the first time, check for signs of any damage and if found get it

MAINTENANCE
If one of the tubes fails to come on, remove
the 2 starters shown in fig.1 on the rear of the
unit and swap them over. If the opposite tube
lights up, then you need to replace the starter.
If the same one fails to light up, then you may
need to replace the tube.
To replace the tube, firstly make sure the unit
is switched off and disconnected from the
power supply.
Remove the two screws at the top of the outer
grill on the rear of the unit as in fig.2 and
lower the grill as in fig.3.
Take hold of the tube and rotate 90°anti
clockwise as shown in fig.4, the tube can now
be removed vertically out of the locating slot
as shown in fig.5.
Replace with new tube, rotate tube 90°in a
clockwise direction to lock in place and
replace the grill.
If both tubes don’t come on, it is unlikely that
both have failed at the same time and you
need to check the fuse to see if it has blown
for some reason.
FUSE CHECKING & REPLACEMENT
To check the fuse, unscrew the fuse holder as
shown in fig.6 & 7, check the fuse and replace
if neccessary. If the fuse continues to blow,
something must be causing it and you need to
have the unit checked by a qualified electrician
or return it to your local KOBE distributor.
