Setup and Installation
The YELKO Under Cabinet Light offers two simple installation methods:
Method 1: On Iron Surfaces
The light has built-in magnets and can be easily attached directly to any iron or magnetic surface, such as a refrigerator or metal shelving.
Method 2: On Non-Iron Surfaces
For non-magnetic surfaces like wood cabinets or walls, use the provided adhesive metal mounts. Peel off the protective film from the adhesive side of the metal mounts and firmly press them onto the desired clean, dry surface. The light can then be magnetically attached to these mounts. Ensure the mounts are placed where the light's internal magnets align with them (indicated by U-shaped symbols on the back of the light).

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your YELKO Under Cabinet Light, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |

| Light does not turn on. | Battery is depleted. Incorrect mode selected. Sensor obstructed or dirty. | Recharge the battery fully. Cycle through modes using the OFF/ON button to select "Always On" or appropriate "Auto" mode. Ensure the motion sensor is clean and unobstructed. |
| Motion sensor not working correctly. | Incorrect mode (e.g., "Always On" selected). Ambient light too high for "Night Auto" mode. Sensor range issues. | Ensure "Day Auto" or "Night Auto" mode is selected. For "Night Auto" mode, ensure the environment is sufficiently dark. Ensure the light is placed within optimal sensing range (approx. 10 feet) and angle. |
| Light is dim or flickers. | Low battery. Brightness setting too low. | Recharge the battery. Press the BRIGHTNESS button to increase the brightness level. |
| Light falls off mounting surface. | Adhesive not strong enough or surface not clean. Surface not magnetic. | Ensure surface is clean, dry, and smooth before applying adhesive metal mounts. Use all four iron sheets for maximum hold. For magnetic surfaces, ensure the surface is truly magnetic. |
