Package Contents
Before beginning assembly, ensure all parts are present and accounted for:
- Tree Sections (3 pieces: bottom, middle, top)
- Metal Tree Stand
- Screws for Tree Stand
- Gloves (for handling branches)
- Tree Topper Plug
- Pre-strung Clear Incandescent Lights (450 count)
Setup Instructions
Follow these steps for quick and easy assembly:
- Assemble the Tree Stand: Unfold the metal tree stand into an 'X' shape. Insert the provided screws into the stand's collar and tighten them partially.
- Insert the Bottom Section: Carefully place the bottom tree section into the assembled stand. Ensure it is seated firmly and then fully tighten the screws on the stand to secure the tree.
- Connect Middle and Top Sections: Insert the middle tree section into the top of the bottom section. The 'power in the pole' technology will automatically connect the lights. Repeat this step for the top section.
- Fluff the Branches: Starting from the bottom, gently pull apart and shape each branch and tip to create a full, natural appearance. Wear the provided gloves to protect your hands.
- Plug In: Locate the inline foot pedal on the power cord and plug it into a standard electrical outlet. Use the foot pedal to turn the lights on.
Hinged branches simplify assembly, while the robust metal stand with a self-centering screw ensures stability.
The innovative 'power in the pole' Instant Power Technology allows for cordless assembly, connecting lights automatically as sections are stacked.

Operating Instructions
Your Martha Stewart Christmas tree is designed for simple operation.
- Power On/Off: Use the discreet inline foot pedal to easily turn the tree's lights on or off.
- Light Functionality: The tree comes pre-strung with 450 clear incandescent lights. These lights are designed to remain lit even if a single bulb is removed or broken, ensuring a consistent festive glow.
- Tree Topper Connection: A convenient Tree Topper Plug is located at the top of the tree, allowing for an extension-cord-free connection for your lighted tree topper.
The tree features a convenient tree topper plug for lighted ornaments and an inline foot pedal for easy on/off control of the lights.

Maintenance
- Fluffing: Upon initial setup and each subsequent year, take time to properly fluff and shape the branches. This involves spreading out individual tips to fill any gaps and achieve the desired full appearance.
- Cleaning: Dust the tree periodically with a soft cloth or duster. For deeper cleaning, a damp cloth can be used on the branches, ensuring the lights are unplugged.
- Storage: When the holiday season concludes, carefully disassemble the tree sections. Gently compress the branches and store the tree in its original box or a dedicated tree storage bag in a cool, dry place.
The tree's realistic foliage is crafted from a blend of PE and PVC tips, providing a natural appearance that benefits from proper fluffing.
Troubleshooting
- Lights Not Working: Ensure all tree sections are properly connected, as the 'power in the pole' system relies on secure connections. Check that the foot pedal is switched on and the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet.
- Tree Appears Sparse: This is typically resolved by thorough fluffing of the branches. Take time to spread out each individual tip to maximize fullness.
- Tree is Unstable: Verify that the metal tree stand is fully unfolded and the screws securing the bottom tree section are tightened completely.
