6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your decoration, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the witch's face and hands with a soft, dry cloth. The polyester fabric can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow to air dry completely.
- Storage: When not in use, disassemble the witch if possible and store all components in its original packaging or a protective container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the light-up eyes dim or cease to function. Always replace all batteries at once with new ones of the same type.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Eyes do not light up. | Batteries are dead or incorrectly inserted. | Check battery polarity and replace with fresh batteries. Ensure the power switch (if present) is in the "ON" position. |
| Witch is unstable or falls over. | Improper assembly or insufficient base support. | Ensure all frame connections are secure. Place on a flat surface. Use additional stakes or weights to secure the base, especially in windy conditions. |
| Fabric appears wrinkled or creased. | Storage or packaging compression. | Gently smooth out wrinkles by hand. A light steam (from a distance) may help, but avoid direct heat. |
| One eye lights up, but the other does not. | Possible wiring issue or faulty LED. | Check battery connection. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
