Read these operating instructions carefully before using the appliance for the first time and preserve this maul for later reference. Pass this manual on to whoever might acquire the appliance at a future date.

Intended Use

This light string is intended for decorative purposes in domestic use and only in dry rooms.

This light string is not intended for illumination purposes, for commercial or industrial applications or for use outdoors.

Important safety instructions

To avoid potentially fatal electric shocks:

• Ensure that a bulb is in every bulb holder when the plug is connected to a wall socket. Touching exposed contacts in the bulb holder can be potentially fatal.
• Ensure that neither the light string, the power cable nor the plug come into contact with water or other liquids.
• Use the appliance in dry rooms only, not outdoors.
• When in use, ensure that the power cable between the lamps and to the power plug does not become trapped or liable to being damaged. Should the power cables or the plug become damaged the light string may no longer be used, as it is no longer safe.
• Immediately remove the plug from the socket if the light string fails to function correctly or is recognisably damaged, especially if the glass of a bulb is broken. First replace the bulb. Arrange for the appliance to be checked by Customer Services if other damage is recognisable.

• After use or during extended absences, ALWAYS remove the plug from the power socket. For as long as the plug is inserted in the wall socket the appliance itself is under electrical power.

• Ensure that the plug is at all times easily accessible so that it may be swiftly removed in the event of danger.

To avoid the risks of fire:

• Do not connect the light string to a wall socket if it is still in its packaging. This would lead to a build-up of heat.
• Use only spare bulbs that correspond to the details given in the technical data. Using more powerful bulbs, or those with different wattages, could lead to the other bulbs becoming too hot or to an overload of the power cable.
• Replace failed bulbs as soon as possible! Due to the automatic shunting of failed bulbs the electrical energy distributes itself amongst the remaining bulbs, causing them to glow more brightly. On the one side this also shortens their service life, on the other, the bulbs will become hotter.
• DO NOT place the light string under inflammable objects, especially not under straw stars, paper, curtains or drapes.

To avoid the risk of accidents and personal injuries:

• Lead the light string and its power cables such that no one can trip or stumble over them.
• Do not permit children or infirm people to come into close contact with electrical appliances without supervision, they are not always able to correctly assess the potential dangers of them.
• Keep children under 3 years of age away from the light string. They could swallow small pieces from it!

Utilisation

• Check to ensure that the light string is undamaged and all parts and remnants of the packaging are removed from it.
• Check to ensure that every pinned socket contains a bulb.
• Drape the light string amongst the branches of the tree to be decorated.
• To take the light string into use, insert the plug into a wall socket.
• If the light string does not emit light: Check that each individual bulb is sitting firmly in its pinned socket and the plug is well seated in the wall socket.
• Should individual lamps not emit light: Replace them as described in the following

Changing bulbs

Caution:

• First remove the plug from the wall socket. For as long as the plug is inserted in the wall socket the appliance itself is under electrical power.
• After immediate use, first allow the bulb to cool down.

Caution:

The bulbs have a pinned socket, not a threaded socket! Do not attempt to screw the bulbs out and do not use any tools. If you do, the bulb glass could splinter. Risk of injury!

• Remove the bulb 1 together with the pinned plug 2 from the pinned socket 3.
• For replacements, only use such bulbs as are detailed under the technical data. Using more powerful bulbs, or those with different wattages, could lead to the other bulbs becoming too hot or to an overload of the power cable.
• Insert the new bulb ① complete with the pinned plug ② in the pinned socket ③. Thereby, the pinned plug is directed, the bulb itself can thus not be inserted falsely.
• Insert the plug in the wall socket. If the light string does not emit light, check to ensure that the new bulb is seated correctly in the socket.

Caution:

Should the glass body of a lamp detach itself or the glass has broken:

• Immediately remove the plug from the wall socket! There is a risk to life if the protruding filaments are touched.
• Carefully attempt to remove the pinned plug ② from the pinned socket ③ with long-nosed pliers - under no circumstances should you use your fingers. There is a risk of injury through broken glass.
• Make contact with Customer Services if you do not feel confident about it or were not successful in your attempt.

Cleaning

Caution!

Disconnect the power plug from the power socket. Failure to do so brings with it the risk of a fatal electric shock should you come into contact with electrical parts or moisture permeates the appliance. After immediate use, first allow the bulbs to cool down.

• You can now clean the light string with a dry cloth. DO NOT use liquids, they could permeate into the pinned socket. Also, to avoid damage to the plastic surfaces do not use any form of detergent.

Maintenance

The light string is maintenance-free, no effort is required on the part of the user.

• Before taking it into use, check the light string for visible exterior damage.

Disposal

Do not dispose of the device in normal domestic waste.

Dispose of the device over a registered waste disposal firm or through your communal waste disposal facility.
