3. Product Overview

The Ardes PP1603 consists of several key components working together to effectively trap insects.

• UV LED Light: Attracts mosquitoes and other flying insects.
• Suction Fan: Draws insects into the collection container.
• Removable Collection Container: Holds captured insects for easy disposal.
• Orientable Plug: Allows for flexible positioning in various outlets.

4. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your mosquito trap for first use:

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the mosquito trap from its packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Placement: Choose a suitable indoor location. For optimal performance, place the trap in a dark area, away from competing light sources, and at a height of approximately 1 to 1.5 meters (3 to 5 feet) from the floor. Avoid placing it directly in front of open windows or doors where strong air currents might interfere with the fan's suction. The device is effective for areas up to 25m².
3. Plug In: Insert the orientable 10A 2P plug into a standard 230V~ wall outlet. Ensure the plug is securely seated. The device will automatically turn on once plugged in.

5. Operating Instructions

The Ardes PP1603 is designed for simple operation.

• Power On: Once plugged into an electrical outlet, the UV LED light will illuminate, and the fan will begin to operate. There is no separate on/off switch.
• Attraction and Capture: The UV LED light attracts mosquitoes and other flying insects. As they approach the light, the integrated fan creates a suction force, drawing them into the removable collection container at the bottom of the device.
• Continuous Operation: For best results, allow the device to operate continuously, especially during peak insect activity hours (e.g., dusk and night).
• Power Off: To turn off the device, simply unplug it from the wall outlet.

6. Maintenance

Regular cleaning of the collection container is essential for maintaining the trap's effectiveness.

1. Unplug: Always unplug the device from the power outlet before cleaning.
2. Remove Collection Container: Gently twist or pull the bottom section of the device to detach the removable collection container.
3. Empty Insects: Dispose of the captured insects from the container.
4. Clean Container: Wash the collection container with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
5. Clean Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water directly on the main unit.
6. Reassemble: Reattach the dry collection container to the main unit, ensuring it is securely fastened.
7. Frequency: Clean the collection container regularly, depending on the volume of captured insects, to prevent blockages and maintain efficiency.
