Your Lifelike Christmas Tree: Assembly, Care and Storage

Bringing out your lifelike Christmas tree is the first step to setting a festive mood for the season. With lush, realistic branches and twinkling lights, a lifelike tree offers all the charm of the holiday season without the mess. Here’s how to make assembling, caring for, and storing your tree a breeze so you can enjoy its beauty for years to come!

 

Assembling Your Lifelike Christmas Tree

Unpacking and setting up your tree can be enjoyable, especially with these easy steps:

1. Find All Your Pieces: Start by locating the tree’s base, screws, and sections labeled A, B, and C. You’ll feel ready to build as you arrange everything in order!
2. Set Up the Stand: Thread the screws into the stand halfway—this helps make inserting the tree stable. Once section C is placed in the stand, tighten those screws for a secure fit.
3. Fluff and Shape: Plug in the power cord, and let the fun begin! Fluffing brings your tree to life, so take your time with each branch. Start from the inside and work out, adjusting each branch up, down, and sideways to fill any gaps and create a full, natural look.
4. Build Up with Section B: Insert section B, letting the trunk automatically connect the lights. Fluff again, continuing to shape each branch for a balanced, lush look. Finally, do the same for section A.
5. Enjoy the Lights: With multiple lighting programs, you can experiment with fades, twinkles, and festive flashes that add sparkle to your tree.

 

 

 

Caring for Your Tree During the Holidays

Maintaining your tree’s appearance is simple and ensures it stays lovely all season long:

• Regular Dusting: Gently dust the branches with a feather duster or soft cloth, which keeps the greenery looking fresh and vibrant.
• Mind the Ornaments: Be mindful not to overload branches with heavy ornaments, which can weigh them down or disrupt the lighting connections.
• Light Maintenance: Periodically check your tree’s lights to make sure connections are secure, and replace any bulbs that may have dimmed or gone out.

 

Storing Your Tree Safely After the Season

With a bit of care, you’ll have your tree neatly stored and ready for future holiday cheer.

1. Turn Off and Disassemble: Make sure to unplug the tree, then carefully remove sections A and B. Loosen screws to detach section C from the stand.
2. Protect Electrical Parts: Use the included caps to protect electrical connectors and avoid damage in storage.
3. Choose Your Storage Solution: Ideally, use a designated tree storage bag for protection. If you don’t have one, the original box or large plastic bags work too. Place two tree sections in the box and the third in a bag for a snug fit.
4. Remove Batteries: Avoid corrosion by taking the batteries out of your remote.
5. Secure Accessories: Use a twist tie or zip tie to attach the remote and any other small items to the stand, so everything stays together.
6. Pack Up Neatly: Place the stand at the bottom of your storage bag, then stack the tree sections from largest to smallest. To save space, alternate the branches in opposite directions with connectors facing outward.
