4. Setup Instructions

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Placement: Place the weighted base on a stable, flat, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation and to prevent accidental contact with hot surfaces.
3. Bulb Installation: Screw the ETL listed 250W E27 bulbs into each lamp shade socket. Ensure they are securely tightened but do not overtighten.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a standard 110V electrical outlet.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Once plugged in, locate the rocker switch on the back of each lamp shade. Flip the switch to the 'ON' position to activate the heating lamp.
2. Positioning: The flexible lamp poles allow for 360° adjustment. Position the lamp shades over the food trays to direct heat precisely where needed. The extended 5-inch lamp pole and weighted base ensure stability during adjustment.

Figure 5.1: The lamp's flexible design allows for 540° rotation and various configurations to evenly heat food.

3. Heat Adjustment (Height-based): The heating intensity can be adjusted by changing the height of the lamp shades above the food. Closer proximity results in higher temperatures (e.g., 189°F at 7.9 inches), while greater distance provides lower temperatures (e.g., 115°F at 15.8 inches).

Figure 5.2: Illustrates how adjusting the lamp height influences the food temperature.

4. Food Warming: Place prepared food directly under the activated lamps. The warm light and heat will help maintain the food's temperature and visual appeal.
5. Power Off: When finished, flip the rocker switches on each lamp shade to the 'OFF' position. Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet.

2. Bulb Replacement: If a bulb burns out, ensure the unit is unplugged and cool. Carefully unscrew the old bulb and replace it with a new ETL listed 250W E27 bulb. Spare bulbs are included in the package.
3. Storage: When not in use for extended periods, clean the unit and store it in a dry, safe place.

7. Troubleshooting

• Lamp not turning on:
  • Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working 110V outlet.
  • Ensure the rocker switch on the lamp shade is in the 'ON' position.
  • Verify that the bulb is correctly screwed in and not burnt out. Replace if necessary.
• Insufficient warming:
  • Adjust the height of the lamp closer to the food.
