5. Operating Instructions
- Power On: Locate the ON/OFF switch on the power cord. Flip the switch to the 'ON' position.
- Observe: The lamp will begin to bubble, and the internal LED lights will illuminate, cycling through various colors. The artificial fish will start to move and float within the bubbling water.
- Initial Movement: It may take a few minutes for the fish to become fully active and move freely as the water circulates and air bubbles stabilize.
- Power Off: To turn off the lamp, flip the switch on the power cord to the 'OFF' position.
6. Maintenance and Care
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your bubble lamp:
- Cleaning: Always unplug the lamp before cleaning. Wipe the exterior of the lamp with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish or clear cylinder.
- Water Replacement: If the water becomes cloudy or discolored over time, unplug the lamp, carefully remove the top cap, and drain the old water. Rinse the cylinder and artificial fish with clean water, then refill with fresh distilled water up to the 'MAX' line.
- Storage: If storing the lamp for an extended period, drain all water, clean the unit, and store it in a cool, dry place.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lamp does not turn on. | No power, loose connection, faulty outlet. | Check if the power cord is securely plugged into both the lamp and the wall outlet. Test the outlet with another device. Ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position. |
| No bubbles or weak bubbling. | Insufficient water, air pump obstruction. | Check the water level and refill with distilled water if below the 'MAX' line. Ensure no debris is obstructing the air pump mechanism at the bottom. |
| Artificial fish are not moving. | Insufficient water circulation, new setup. | Allow several minutes for the water to circulate and bubbles to fully activate after turning on. Ensure the water level is correct. |
| Loud humming noise. | Normal motor operation, resonance. | A slight humming sound from the air pump is normal. Ensure the lamp is on a stable surface to minimize vibration. If the noise is excessive or unusual, contact customer support. |
