When dust, or dirt or other contaminants accumulate in the Rat Zapper Classic, you will 
need to clean the unit.
Accumulated dirt, contaminants and/or moisture may trigger a false trip, causing the red light 
to blink repeatedly when you turn it on.
 1. Always remove batteries before cleaning to insure safety.
 2. Obtain an inexpensive, thin aluminum pan large enough in width and length to 
accommodate your Rat Zapper Classic.
 3. Fill the pan with approximately 2 inches of warm water and an ample amount of liquid 
dish detergent. Set the Rat Zapper Classic in the pan and let it soak for approximately 1 
hour (to loosen debris.)
 4. Using a soft bristle or bottle brush, commonly found in the cookware section of your 
local supermarket, gently brush the bottom of your Rat Zapper Classic.
 5. To rinse, carefully allow a gentle stream of fresh water to ow over the cleaned bottom 
surface of the Rat Zapper Classic. Do not spray the unit out or allow moisture to 
intrude into the electronics that are housed in the top of the Rat Zapper Classic as this 
may cause the electronics to short out and impair the unit’s performance.
 6. After cleaning and rinsing the bottom of the Rat Zapper Classic thoroughly, place 
it with the open side face down to allow the Rat Zapper Classic to drain and air dry 
completely (do not use an air compressor) before putting it back into service.
