Safety Information
To ensure safe operation and prevent damage, please observe the following safety precautions:
- Indoor Use Only: This lamp is designed for indoor use in dry locations. Do not use it outdoors or in wet environments.
- Electrical Safety: Ensure the lamp is connected to a 120-volt power outlet. Do not overload electrical outlets.
- Heat Warning: The lamp and its contents become hot during operation. Do not touch the glass or base while the lamp is on or immediately after turning it off. Allow sufficient time for cooling.
- Stable Placement: Place the lamp on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface away from edges where it could be easily knocked over.
- Avoid Shaking: Do not shake, drop, or move the lamp while it is operating or hot, as this can damage the internal components and cause the liquid to become cloudy.

Operating Instructions
Operating your Jambo Liquid Motion Lamp is straightforward:
- Turn On: Locate the rotary switch on the power cord or base (depending on model) and turn it to the 'ON' position. The bulb will illuminate.
- Warm-up Time: For the first use, or after extended periods of inactivity, the lamp may take 2-4 hours to fully warm up and for the wax to begin flowing smoothly. This is normal.
- Wax Movement: Once warmed, the wax will begin to soften, rise, and fall in captivating patterns. The lamp operates best at room temperature (20-25°C / 68-77°F).
- Operating Duration: For optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended to operate the lamp for no more than 8-10 hours at a time. Allow it to cool down completely before restarting.
- Turn Off: To turn off the lamp, rotate the switch to the 'OFF' position and unplug it from the power outlet when not in use for extended periods.
Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your lamp:
- Cleaning: Ensure the lamp is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning. Wipe the exterior of the glass and base with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse any part of the lamp in water.
- Bulb Replacement: If the bulb burns out, unplug the lamp and allow it to cool. Carefully remove the old bulb and replace it with a new 30-watt, E17 base incandescent bulb. Ensure the replacement bulb matches the original specifications.
- Storage: If storing the lamp for an extended period, ensure it is clean, dry, and stored upright in a cool, dark place.
- Do Not Open: Never attempt to open the sealed glass vessel or tamper with its contents. This will void any warranty and can be dangerous.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Jambo Liquid Motion Lamp, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lamp does not turn on. | No power, faulty bulb, or loose connection. | Check if the lamp is properly plugged in. Ensure the power outlet is functional. Verify the rotary switch is in the 'ON' position. Replace the bulb if it is burnt out. |
| Wax is not moving or moving slowly. | Insufficient warm-up time, cold room temperature, or incorrect bulb wattage. | Allow 2-4 hours for the lamp to fully warm up. Ensure the room temperature is between 20-25°C (68-77°F). Confirm the bulb is a 30-watt E17 incandescent type. |
| Liquid is cloudy. | Initial cloudiness, lamp shaken, or improper storage. | Initial cloudiness often clears after several hours of continuous operation. Avoid shaking or dropping the lamp. If cloudiness persists after multiple uses, contact customer support. |
| Wax is stuck at the top or bottom. | Not fully warmed up, lamp tilted, or excessive heat/cold. | Ensure the lamp has had sufficient warm-up time. Verify the lamp is placed on a level surface. Avoid placing the lamp near heat sources or in very cold areas. |
