Frequently Asked Questions - BC23IV01 Be Cool

How does the Be Cool BC23IV01 insect killer work?

The device uses UV-A lamps to attract flying insects. When insects touch the energized metal grille, they receive an electric shock and are killed. It is non-toxic and environmentally friendly.

Can I use the insect killer outdoors?

No, the device is for indoor use only. Outdoor use is prohibited because it may also kill beneficial insects such as bees and butterflies. It should be placed in areas like living rooms, bedrooms, garages, or camps.

How do I clean the insect killer?

First, switch off and unplug the device and let it cool down. Shake it lightly to drop dead insects into the drip tray. Rotate the drip tray counterclockwise to remove it, empty and dry it. Use a dry soft brush or paintbrush to clean the grille. Do not use water or solvents.

Is this device safe for children and pets?

Yes, the UV light is harmless to humans, pets, and plants. However, the grille carries high voltage, so children should not play with the device. Keep it out of reach of small children and never leave it unattended near them.

What should I do if the insect killer stops working?

Check if the device is properly plugged in and the switch is on. If it still doesn't work, test the outlet. If the problem persists, contact the service line (Schuss Home Electronic GmbH) or your dealer. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.

Can I leave the insect killer on all night?

Does the insect killer attract bees or butterflies?

Yes, it attracts all flying insects, including bees and butterflies. That's why it should only be used indoors. Outdoor use would harm beneficial insects and is prohibited.
