6.1 Cleaning
Ensure the lights are unplugged before cleaning. Wipe bulbs and cables with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
6.2 Bulb Replacement
If a bulb fails, it can be easily replaced. Unplug the string lights. Gently unscrew the faulty bulb and replace it with one of the spare S14 LED bulbs provided. Each bulb operates independently, so a single bulb failure will not affect the rest of the strand.

- Carefully remove the blown fuse and replace it with the spare fuse.
- Close the fuse compartment cover securely.
