About the FKWS18 Wall Sconce

Flying insects are naturally attracted to ultra-violet light. This fly catcher has an ultra-violet (UV) bulb that proves to be utterly irresistible to flying insects. Once the flies are attracted into the device, they will come to rest on the adhesive-coated glue board inside and become permanently captured. Once the board is full, it can quickly and easily be replaced. It is easy to check as the front of the device lifts up to enable easy access to the adhesive board.

Your FKWS18 comes with 5 adhesive sheets. If you need more, you can order these separately from Duronic (Shine-Mart Ltd).

Designed with an ornate elegant design, this light fixing will fit in beautifully with any interior design.

No chemical substances are involved, so this appliance is safe to use for humans and pets. The ultra-violet light provides an odorless, noiseless and safe method of ridding your home of pesky flying insects.

Before Installing

1. Remove the device from the package carefully. Check the body and parts for any potential shipping damage.
2. Check the position of the bulb and the glue board to see if they are positioned correctly.
3. Connect the device to the nearest mains electrical socket to test the light.
4. If the bulb lights up immediately, proceed to installing the lamp.
5. If the bulb doesn't light up, refer to the troubleshooting section to determine the issue.

Installation

Preparation:

• Ensure that the light is installed above eye level (at least 70 inches from the floor) so that it is out of the line of anyones sight, and so that no one can bump into the fixture.
  • Install the light close to the area where flies come in, but away from any draft or wind.
• Choose a location with high insect density, close to an electrical outlet (hard wired availability) and easy serviceability.
• Do not install the lamp near any competing light sources, such as bright sunlit windows, indoor lighting fixtures etc. as this will render the FKWS18 light useless.
• The distance between the lamp and the ceiling should be 24" or more for maximum light attraction.

Instruction:

1. Lift the front cover and remove the UV bulb to avoid causing any damage to it during the installation.
2. Hold the back plate of the fixture against the wall in your chosen location. Determine the location you would like to install the light and mark the screws' locations with a pencil.
3. Place the fixture aside. Drill holes on the marked locations and insert the plastic raw plugs.
4. Next reposition the light fixing over the top of the holes you have prepared, and insert one screw and tighten with a screw driver. Then repeat this for the next screw.
5. Install the bulb and the sticky glue board. Note that the sticky side of the board should be placed facing up.
6. Close the cover of the light.
7. Plug in the power cable into the mains power socket and switch on. Your light should immediately illuminate.

NOTE: If you do not use the appliance for an extended period, ensure you remove the plug from the electrical socket.
