DIRRECTION FOR USE

USEFUL TIPS:

• Allow 10 to 30 minutes, depending upon the size of the area, for product to take effect.
• This product works best in outdoor areas where there is minimal air movement, such as patios, yards and outdoor campsites.
• Use one mosquito repeller for 225 square feet or 15 feet in diameter. Use additional mosquito repellers to cover a larger area.
• Original mats provide up to 4 hours mosquito repellency per mat.
• Mats turn from pale blue to white when mosquito repellent has been depleted and needs to be replaced.
• Some visible vapor will appear during use; this is normal.
• Altitudes above 7000 ft may effect product performance.

Use Restrictions:

Only for outdoor use as a mosquito repellent. Do not use indoors, in tents or in any enclosed area. Do not insert anything other than Thermacell® mats into the mosquito repeller. Cover or remove all exposed food. Do not leave mosquito repeller unattended or use in windy conditions. Do not expose mosquito repeller or mats to rain. Place mosquito repeller on a flat, stable surface with the grill facing upward. Do not touch the grill; it will be hot after a couple of minutes. Clean with a damp cloth only when the mosquito repeller is cool and inactive. Only Thermacell® mats will work in this mosquito repeller.

It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

TO USE THE MOSQUITO REPELLENT

1. Insert Mat:
Remove one Thermacell® Mosquito Repellent mat from wrapper. Insert the mat under the mosquito repeller’s black grill.

2. Attach Canister:
Remove the appliance rubber plug. Remove the canister cap if present. Keep canister in upright position. Screw the appliance into the top of the canister. Make sure canister is fully inserted by turning it until it stops. Do not over tighten.

3. Turn On:
Flip the ‘ON/OFF’ switch to the ‘ON’ position; the fuel will begin to flow. Wait approximately 3 seconds, then pull the start tab upwards towards the grill until it clicks.

Look through view hole on the panel opposite the start switch to verify there is an orange glow indicating mosquito repeller is on.

Turn Off:

1. Flip the ‘ON/OFF’ switch to the ‘OFF’ position.
2. Grill and top area may be hot. Allow the mosquito repeller to cool completely.
3. Remove the canister by turning counter clockwise. Replace plug.

To Replace Thermacell Mat:
Mats turn from blue to white when mosquito repellent has been depleted. Turn mosquito repeller OFF. Allow grill to cool. Push the used mat out by inserting a new mat.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you do not see an orange glow through view window

1. Repeat directions “To Turn ON”.
2. If there is still no orange light visible, make sure the fuel canister is completely screwed into place. Repeat “Turn On” directions. Confirm the orange glow is visible.
3. Check the amount of fuel in the cartridge. If cartridge is empty or near empty, remove cartridge and replace with a new cartridge. Repeat “Turn On” directions. Confirm the orange glow is visible.

Not sure product is working?

1. Place product upwind for maximum mosquito repellency. Windy conditions can reduce effectiveness.
