How It Works

The Thermacell E-Series is an on-demand mosquito repeller.

The rechargeable battery powers a heater that diffuses mosquito

repellent from the repellent refill into the air. Turn it on and within 15

minutes you will be protected from mosquitoes in the surrounding area.

When finished using it just turn it off. It's that easy. No sprays to wash

off and no candles to blow out.

1. Getting Started

Your repeller has a rechargeable battery. Prior to first use, fully charge

the battery. To charge the battery pull back the rubber cover to expose

the USB charging port located on the front of the repeller. Insert the

charging cable provided with the repeller. The battery indicator is

located below the power button.

4. Place Your Device

• Repeller is best placed in the center of the desired Zone of repellency.

• If it is windy, place the repeller upwind of where you are sitting.

• Only operate with vent facing up.

• Do not cover repeller while it is in use.

• To protect larger areas use multiple repellers.

Care & Storage

• Occasionally debris or condensation may build up on your repeller

device. Simply use a damp paper towel or rag to wipe away any

build up.

• Do not expose the repeller to extended periods of rain or submerge

in water.

• Do not expose the repeller to temperatures above 140°F.

• Store at room temperature in a dry environment when not in use.
