HAUTE DECOR DCCT0409 Pre-Lit LED Dumont Fir Artificial Christmas Tree

Product Information

The 4 FOOT PRELIT DUMONT FIR is an artificial Christmas tree suitable for indoor use only. The tree comes in two sections, A and B, and is equipped with a power adapter and a light set plug. The tree features metal hinges connecting the branches to the tree pole, allowing for easy shaping and realistic appearance. The tree stand has three legs with screws for stability.

Product Usage Instructions

Remove the contents from the carton carefully, keeping the carton for future storage. Do not forcibly remove contents.
Locate the TREE STAND and rotate the legs until the three holes on the inner and outer walls of the hub align, forming an X shape. Insert the screws into the holes, but do not turn all the way in. Leave space inside the hub for the tree pole to slide down.
Allow the branches to fall into place. If any branches catch on one another, slowly press down on each branch until it falls into place.
Insert TREE SECTION B into TREE SECTION A, making sure the section is sitting securely. Pull the branches down slightly by hand as they are not hinged to the pole in this section.
Connect the light set plug from TREE SECTION B into the light set plug in TREE SECTION A. Further secure the plug connection by screwing the outer cover into place. Do not remove the barbell labels on your light sets as they will help you easily find the plugs and connect them in the following year.
In TREE SECTION A, guide the power adapter down through the tree section to the floor and insert it into a power outlet in your home or a U.L. approved power strip (not included). Your tree should now be lit. If some bulbs do not light, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING FOR LIGHTS section.
Shape the tree by plugging in the lights and reshaping the branches to their original fullness by bending and separating each of the branches in a more realistic manner. Reference the image on the cover of this instruction manual to see what the tree should look like. Shape by section and layer, starting at the bottom of the tree and working your way up to ensure coverage of the whole tree. On each branch, begin with the tips closest to the pole and work your way to the end of the branch. The tips should be shaped up and to the sides, resembling a peacock’s fanned tail. Offset the branches from one another to hide the tree’s pole and fill spaces. Continue spreading the tips until they resemble that of a real tree. After shaping the whole tree, step back and take an overall look. Shift branches to fill any gaps.

IMPORTANT, RETAIN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE: READ CAREFULLY.

ASSEMBLY

CAREFULLY REMOVE THE CONTENTS FROM THE CARTON. KEEP THE CARTON FOR FUTURE STORAGE. DO NOT FORCIBLY REMOVE CONTENTS.

Step 1: Locate the TREE STAND. Rotate the legs until the three (3) holes on the inner and outer walls of the hub align, and the stand forms an “X” shape (see Fig. 1). There are three (3) screws with the stand. Insert the screws into the holes, but do not turn all the way in. Leave space inside the hub for the tree pole to slide down. Place the stand where you are going to set up the tree.

THIS PRODUCT IS SUITABLE FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. IMPORTANT: DO NOT PLACE THE TREE WHERE IT IS LIKELY TO WOBBLE DUE TO UNEVEN FLOORS OR THICK CARPETING. PLACE THE TREE ON A LEVEL SURFACE.

Step 2: Find TREE SECTION A, tagged with the letter “A”. Remove the green pole cap (see Fig. 2) that is covering the bottom of the pole. It is a protective cover only and can be kept for storage if desired. Insert TREE SECTION A into the TREE STAND. Do not force the pole. It will slide down to its correct position. Make sure the pole is seated firmly in the stand. Turn all three screws evenly until they touch the pole. If Tree Section A is not sitting straight, then simply loosen the screws, adjust the tree pole, and retighten the screws.

Allow the branches to fall into place. The branches are connected to the tree pole by metal hinges (see Fig. 3). NOTE: SOME BRANCHES MAY CATCH ON ONE ANOTHER. IF THAT OCCURS, SLOWLY PRESS DOWN ON EACH BRANCH UNTIL IT FALLS INTO PLACE.

Step 3 : Locate TREE SECTION B, tagged with the letter “B”. Insert TREE SECTION B into TREE SECTION A. Make sure the section is sitting securely. NOTE: THE TOP, INNER PART OF THE POLE TO TREE SECTION B HAS A GREEN POLE ADAPTER INSIDE. THIS POLE ADAPTER IS NOT TO BE REMOVED. TREE SECTION B HAS A GREEN STEM COMING OFF THE BOTTOM OF ITS POLE WHICH FITS SNUGGLY INTO THIS ADAPTER AND GIVES STABILITY TO YOUR TREETOP.

The branches are not hinged to the pole in this section, so you will need to pull the branches down slightly by hand.

Step 4: Connect the light set plug from TREE SECTION B into the light set plug in TREE SECTION A. The plugs have a red colored barbell label with the number one . Further secure the plug connection by screwing the outer cover into place.

Step 5: In TREE SECTION A, there is a power adapter that is to be guided down through the tree section to the floor. Insert it into a power outlet in your home or into a U.L. approved power strip (not included). Your tree should now be lit. If some bulbs do not light, please go to the section on TROUBLESHOOTING FOR LIGHTS.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT REMOVE THE BARBELL LABELS ON YOUR LIGHT SETS. THEY WILL HELP YOU TO EASILY FIND THE PLUGS AND CONNECT THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

SHAPING

Plug in the lights as you are shaping the tree.
The branches were condensed to fit into the box and can be reshaped to their original fullness by bending and separating each of the branches in a more realistic manner.
Please reference the image on the cover of this instruction manual to see what the tree should look like.
Shape by section and layer, starting at the bottom of the tree and working your way up to ensure coverage of the whole tree.
On each branch, begin with the tips closest to the pole and work your way to the end of the branch.
The tips should be shaped up and to the sides, resembling a peacock’s fanned tail. Offset the branches from one another to hide the tree’s pole and fill spaces. Continue spreading the tips until they resemble that of a real tree.
After shaping the whole tree, step back and take an overall look. Shift branches to fill any gaps. Your tree is now ready to decorate and enjoy!

CLEANING & CARE

AS YOU WILL BE USING THE TREE EVERY YEAR, THE FOLLOWING ARE TIPS TO KEEP IT IN GOOD CONDITION AND MAINTAINED:

Dust gently using a soft cloth or fabric duster.
Do NOT use any chemicals or solvents to clean.
Handle the light sets gently. Do NOT pull or tug light sets as this may inadvertently loosen the bulb.
Follow all Storage and Safety Instructions.

STORAGE

PROPER TREE HANDLING AND STORAGE WILL HELP YOU GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR TREE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.

Remove any ornaments and decorations that were added by you and did not come with the tree.
Unplug the tree from the power source in your home and disconnect the plug connection between each tree section.
Starting with the top, separate each tree section and stand gently, being sure not to roughly handle as it could cause damage to the parts.
Compress each tree section by turning it upside down and squeezing the branches together so that it will fit more easily into the storage box or container. You can also tie a ribbon or cord around the sections to secure the branches closer together for storage.
Place all the parts gently back into the storage box. The box will help prevent the tree from being damaged should it get bumped in your garage, basement, or other storage location. Tape the box shut to keep out any dust or insects. When packing up the tree, please ensure that there is no stress or strain to the tree.
Be sure to store the tree in a cool, dry area free of water and moisture to prevent mold and mildew from accumulating and a musty odor from developing. Exposing your tree to excessive heat or humidity may damage your tree. DO NOT STORE THE TREE IN A DAMP AREA OR IN AN AREA WHERE THE TEMPERATURE EXCEEDS 100ºF. STORE THE CARTON FLAT AND NOT UPRIGHT ON ITS SHORT END.
