Cleaning Your Rat Zapper

When dust, dirt or other contaminants accumulate in the Rat Zapper, you will
need to clean the unit, otherwise it may trigger a false trip, causing the red light to
blink repeatedly when you turn it on.

1. Remove batteries before cleaning to insure safety.
   
2. Obtain an inexpensive, thin aluminum pan large enough in width and length to
   accommodate the Rat Zapper.
   
3. Fill the pan with approximately 1 inch of warm/hot water, a teaspoon of vinegar
   and an ample amount of dish detergent. Set the Rat Zapper 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.
   
5. To rinse, carefully allow a gentle stream of fresh water to flow over the cleaned
   bottom surface of the Rat Zapper. Do not spray the unit out or allow moisture
   to intrude into the electronics that are housed in the top of the Rat Zapper 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 thoroughly, place it
   with the open side face down to allow the Rat Zapper to drain and air dry
   completely (do not use air compressor) before putting it back into service
   (about 2 to 3 hours).
