4. Setup
Follow these steps to set up your lighted Noel candle:
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.
- Bulb Installation (if not pre-installed): If the bulb is not already installed, gently screw it into the socket located inside the candle unit. Ensure it is secure but do not overtighten.
- Placement: Choose a suitable location for your candle. For outdoor use, select a flat, stable surface. For indoor use, ensure it is away from high-traffic areas and flammable materials.
- Securing the Candle (Outdoor Use): To enhance stability, especially in windy conditions, you may need to add weight to the base.
