Setup Instructions
- Unpack the Device: Carefully remove the Rainbow Maker from its packaging.
- Choose a Location: Select a window that receives direct sunlight for several hours a day. The solar panel needs direct sun exposure to power the rotation mechanism.
- Attach to Window: The Rainbow Maker features a suction cup for easy attachment. Ensure the window surface is clean and dry before pressing the suction cup firmly against the glass. Position the device so the solar panel faces outwards, towards the sun.
- Adjust Solar Panel: The solar panel can be tilted to optimize its angle towards the sun. Adjust it to maximize sunlight absorption.

Operating Instructions
The Kikkerland Solar-Powered Double Rainbow Maker operates automatically when exposed to sufficient direct sunlight.
- Once the solar panel absorbs enough sunlight, it will power a small motor.
- This motor drives a series of gears, which in turn rotate the two hanging crystals.
- As the crystals rotate and sunlight passes through them, they will refract the light, creating moving rainbow patterns on nearby surfaces.
- The intensity and movement of the rainbows will vary depending on the angle and strength of the sunlight.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: To maintain optimal performance and clarity of the crystals, periodically wipe the solar panel and crystals with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Position Adjustment: As seasons change, the angle of the sun will shift. Adjust the position of the Rainbow Maker on your window or the tilt of the solar panel to ensure it continues to receive direct sunlight.
- Storage: If storing the device for an extended period, remove it from the window and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Rainbow Maker is not rotating. | Insufficient direct sunlight. | Relocate the device to a window that receives more direct sunlight. Ensure the solar panel is clean and optimally angled. |
| Rainbows are faint or absent. | Crystals are dirty or scratched; insufficient sunlight. | Clean the crystals with a soft, damp cloth. Verify the device is in direct sunlight. |
| Device makes a clicking sound but does not spin. | Internal mechanism obstruction or malfunction. | Ensure no external objects are obstructing the gears or crystals. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
