Operating Instructions

• Connecting Multiple Sets: Each set features an end-to-end connectable design. You can connect up to 21 sets (maximum 432 watts total) using the female connector at the end of each string. Simply plug the male end of a new set into the female connector of the previous set.
• Illumination: Once plugged in, the C7 clear bulbs will glow with a warm white light, creating a festive atmosphere.
• Disconnection: To turn off the lights, simply unplug the main power cord from the electrical outlet.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your GOOTHY C7 Christmas Candy Cane Pathway Lights, follow these maintenance tips:

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the candy cane shells and stakes with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Bulb Replacement: If a bulb burns out, it will not affect the rest of the string. Unplug the unit, carefully unscrew the faulty C7 bulb, and replace it with a new 5W C7 incandescent bulb (E12/C7 candelabra base). A spare bulb is included in your package.
• Fuse Replacement: If the entire string fails to light, check the fuse located in the male plug. Unplug the unit, slide open the fuse compartment, and replace the blown fuse with the spare fuse provided.
• Storage: When not in use, especially during off-season, unplug the lights, clean them, and store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. It is recommended to store them in their original packaging to prevent damage.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the wires, plugs, and bulb sockets for any signs of damage, fraying, or corrosion. Discontinue use if any damage is found and replace damaged components or the entire unit if necessary.
