4. Assembly Instructions
Follow these steps carefully for proper assembly. It is recommended to assemble the angel on a flat, clean surface.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out. Refer to the 'Package Contents' section to ensure all items are present.
- Connect Frame Sections: Assemble the main alloy steel frame sections of the angel. Ensure that each section is securely connected. The frame is designed for durability and weather resistance.
- Secure with Zip Ties: Use the provided zip ties to reinforce the connections between the frame sections. This ensures strong and stable structural integrity for the decoration.
- Attach Decorative Elements: Carefully attach the halo, flute, and silver belt to the angel's frame as depicted in the product images. Ensure these elements are positioned correctly and securely.
- Position Tinsel: Gently unfold and arrange the tinsel material over the frame, ensuring it covers the structure evenly and the pre-attached LED lights are visible.
- Placement: Choose your desired outdoor location for the angel. Ensure the location is level and has access to a suitable power outlet.
- Ground Anchoring: Secure the angel to the ground using the 4 ground stakes. Insert the stakes through the designated holes at the base of the angel and firmly into the soil. This provides additional stability against wind.
- Power Connection: Connect the UL-certified adapter to the angel's power cord. Then, plug the adapter into a standard 120V/60Hz outdoor-rated electrical outlet.
5. Operating Instructions
Operating your Tangkula Lighted Angel is straightforward:
- Power On: Once the angel is fully assembled and securely anchored, plug the adapter into a functional 120V/60Hz outdoor-rated electrical outlet. The 100 LED lights will immediately illuminate.
- Power Off: To turn off the decoration, simply unplug the adapter from the electrical outlet.
- Optimal Performance: For best results and safety, ensure the adapter and all electrical connections are protected from direct exposure to heavy moisture.
6. Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will help extend the life of your lighted angel:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the angel with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive water, as these can damage the tinsel or electrical components.
- Storage: Before storing, ensure the angel is completely dry. Disassemble the frame if necessary and store all components in their original packaging or a protective container. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cord, adapter, LED lights, and frame for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Do not use the product if any part is compromised.
- Weather Protection: While designed for outdoor use, it is recommended to unplug and bring the decoration indoors during severe weather conditions (e.g., strong winds, heavy snow, ice storms) to prevent potential damage.
7. Troubleshooting Guide
If you encounter any issues with your Tangkula Lighted Angel, please refer to the following troubleshooting table:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not illuminate | Power not connected or faulty outlet | Ensure the adapter is securely plugged into both the angel and a functional outdoor-rated power outlet. Test the outlet with another device. |
| Lights flicker or are dim | Loose connection or power supply issue | Check all electrical connections, including the adapter. Ensure the power outlet is providing stable voltage. |
| Angel is unstable or falls over | Insufficient anchoring or strong winds | Ensure all 4 ground stakes are fully inserted into the ground. Use additional zip ties to secure frame sections if needed. Consider relocating to a more sheltered area during windy conditions. |
| Damage to frame or tinsel | Impact or weather exposure | Inspect for broken welds or tears. Minor tears in tinsel may be repaired with clear adhesive. For significant damage, contact customer support. |
