Maintenance and Storage

Proper care and storage will ensure the longevity of your artificial Christmas tree.

• Cleaning: Dust the tree branches with a soft cloth or use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment on a low setting. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Light Bulb Replacement: While the lights are designed to remain lit even if one bulb is removed or broken, individual bulbs can be replaced if desired. Refer to the light string's specific instructions for bulb type and replacement procedure.
• Shaping: Over time, branches may require minor reshaping. Gently adjust the memory wire branches as needed.
• Storage: Before storing, ensure the tree is completely dry. Disassemble the tree in reverse order of setup. Compress the branches gently and store the sections in the original packaging or a dedicated tree storage bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your tree, refer to the following common solutions:

• Lights Not Working:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Check that the inline foot pedal is pressed to the "ON" position.
  • Verify that all tree sections are properly connected, allowing the "power in the pole" technology to function.
  • Although lights are designed to stay lit if one bulb fails, check for any loose or broken bulbs and replace them if necessary.
• Tree Appears Unstable:
  • Ensure the metal stand is fully unfolded and placed on a flat, level surface.
  • Confirm that the screw in the stand is tightened securely around the bottom tree pole.
  • Verify that all tree sections are fully inserted into each other.
