Safety First:
•Unplug power supply cord when replacing bulbs and fuses.
•NEVER change fuse with the power supply cord plug in wall duplex.
•Replace with GKI/Bethlehem lights only.
•Avoid touching electric carrying parts with sharp or heavy objects.
•Do not plug other products into the tree plugs.
Care Instructions:
•If your tree has incandescent lights, be sure to replace burnt-out bulbs with replacement bulbs (included) as bulbs burn out.
This will extend the life of the remaining bulbs.
•When not in use store in a cool dry location.
Trouble Shooting:
•If a branch or section will not light, check to be sure that all the cords are plugged into the pole. Each section should be
plugged into one socket.
•
A safety strap has been placed around the plugs to ensure that the plugs do not fall out of the pole during shipping. This strap
easily slides over the plugs to hold them tight. Images shown are for reference only; your tree may differ slightly.
•If item still fails to light after checking all plugs are plugged in, look for a damaged, missing, or burnt-out bulb. Replace the
bulb with included replacement bulbs.
•If the item still fails to light after checking all plugs are plugged in, check the fuse at the main power cord (plug that goes
directly into wall socket) – use only 125 volt fuse, 5 amp maximum.
•If your item has a foot pedal, try tapping the foot pedal once to turn on the lights.
Tree Storage:
Step 1: Unplug power cord.
Step 2: Remove decorations.
Step 3: Lift each section directly up.
Step 4: Separate the tree sections (starting at the top). Fold branches up to avoid crushing the tips. You can tie the branches up
to make the sections easier to handle and set up in future years.
Step 5: Unscrew tree stand to release the bottom section. Fold stand and tighten screws back into stand to prevent losing the
screws.
Step 6: Store in cool dry area.
