Setup Instructions
The KRINNER Christmas Tree Genie Vario is designed for effortless one-person setup, ensuring a secure hold for your live Christmas tree.
- Prepare the Stand: Ensure the foot pedal is in the unlocked position (green indicator visible). Slide the foot pedal outwards to fully open the clamping claws.
- Prepare the Tree: Trim the bottom of your tree trunk if necessary to ensure a fresh cut for water absorption. Remove any lower branches that might interfere with the stand's claws. The stand accommodates trees up to 8 feet tall with a trunk diameter of up to 4.7 inches.
- Insert the Tree: Carefully lift the tree and place its trunk into the center of the stand. Ensure the trunk is resting firmly on the bottom of the water reservoir.
- Secure the Tree: While holding the tree upright and straight, repeatedly press the foot pedal down until the claws firmly grip the tree trunk. The single-cable operation ensures even pressure around the trunk, regardless of its shape.
- Lock the Stand: Once the tree is secure and straight, slide the foot pedal inwards to the locked position (red indicator visible). This prevents accidental release of the clamping mechanism.

Operating Instructions
Proper watering is crucial to keep your live tree fresh throughout the season.
- Watering: Slowly add water into the stand's reservoir. The capacity varies depending on the trunk size. Ensure the water level is maintained to keep the tree hydrated. Do not overfill to prevent spills.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your KRINNER Christmas Tree Genie Vario stand, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: After use, empty any remaining water from the reservoir. Clean the stand with a damp cloth to remove sap, needles, and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Storage: Store the tree stand in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure it is completely dry before storage to prevent corrosion.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the cable and clamping mechanisms for any signs of wear or damage. If any components appear damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support.
Troubleshooting
- Issue: Water Leakage
If you observe water leaking from the base of the tree stand, it could be due to several reasons:
- Overfilling: The water reservoir may have been filled beyond its capacity, especially if the tree trunk displaces a significant volume.
- Improper Seal: Ensure the tree trunk is properly seated and the stand is not damaged.
- Damage: Inspect the stand for any cracks or damage to the reservoir or seams that could cause leaks.
Solution: Reduce the water level if overfilled. Carefully remove the tree and inspect the stand for any visible damage. If damage is present, the unit may need replacement. If no damage is found, re-seat the tree and refill water slowly, monitoring for leaks.
