Troubleshooting your MosquitoEater™
Gas Connection
Ensure that the Quick-On gas regulator is fitted to the gas bottle correctly. Refer to the instruction leaflet supplied.
Ignition Problems
Firstly check the igniter button. You should hear a clicking noise when the red button is depressed. If the clicking noise cannot be heard, unscrew the red button Cap and replace the AA battery. Screw the cap back on and retry. If there is still no clicking, remove the service panel as shown below.
Step 1
Remove the four screws as shown in fig 1 using a Phillips head screwdriver.
Step 2
Let the service panel hang down as shown in fig 2.
Step 3
You can now check the wire connection from the igniter to the spark tip.
Step 4
Replace the service panel as shown in fig 3 and retry.
NEVER TRY TO IGNITE THE MOSQUITOEATER WHEN THE SERVICE PANEL IS REMOVED AS IN FIG 2.
Step 5
If the problem persists a BiteBack engineer should be called to rectify the fault.
Nozzle Housing Blockage
Assuming that the regulator is fitted properly and the igniter is sparking, the next Check is the Nozzle Housing. This can become blocked due to spiders casting a Web inside the housing, this restricts the gas flow which does not allow the Combustion process to occur. See fig 4.
The nozzle housing can be cleared with the use of an air duster aerosol dispenser. Firstly remove service panel as before, then using the tube attachment on the air Duster, insert the tube into the nozzle housing through the air vents. Try to get the Tube pointing up towards the combustion chamber area and disperse the air duster To clear any blockages. See fig 5.
It is important to ensure that the nozzle housing and the chimney area are kept Clear.
Replace the service panel and repeat the ignition process.
Power Indicator
If your MosquitoEater has ignited but the power indicator needle does not move from the red area, check that the fan in the Mosquito capture chamber is working. If the fan is working the MosquitoEater can still be used even though the power guage is not Operational. A BiteBack engineer should then be called to rectify this fault.
Fan Failure
If your MosquitoEater starts up but the fan fails to operate. Turn the gas off and Organise for a BiteBack engineer to call.
MosquitoEater Cutting Out
Your MosquitoEater is operational but after a short period of time the MosquitoEater Cuts out. This fault is caused either by damage to the thermocouple or a fault with the bi-metallic switch. A BiteBack engineer should be called to rectify this fault.
