To assemble: Step 1: Locate the Tree Stand and assemble it by separating the legs of the stand to form an X shape. Insert the three (3) screws into the holes on the stand s middle section, being sure that the screws do not extend so far as to interfere with the installation of the tree pole. Place the Tree Stand in desired location. Step 2: Locate Body Section A and place it (with the pole side down) into the Tree Stand. Do not push the Body down - it will slide down to its correct position. Step 3: Locate Body Section B and place it into the top of Body Section A. Note that these sections are made to fit into each other tightly to prevent wobbling. Step 4: Locate the Snowman s Head and place it into the pole insert on the top of Body Section B. It may be a snug fit, so you do not experience any wobbling. Pre-Lit Snowman Tree 5 #484125 Current instructions at www.improvementscatalog.com 1-800-642-2112 Page 2 of 5
Step 5: Locate the Hat and place it onto the pole coming off of the top of the Snowman s Head. Step 6: Tie the Scarf around the Snowman s neck. Step 7: Time to light your Tree! There are a total of 240 clear incandescent miniature lights on your tree. The Snowman s Hat has one (1) male plug which needs to be inserted into the one (1) female plug located in the Snowman s Head. The Snowman s Head has one (1) male plug which is to be inserted into the extension cord tap located in Section B. Section B also has one (1) male plug which needs to be inserted into the extension cord tap located in the same section. Section A has one (1) male plug which has to be inserted into the extension cord tap located in Section B. Feed the extension cord plug (located in Section B) down to floor level.

Step 8: Now it is time to shape your Tree! When the Tree was packed at the factory, the branches were pushed upward, to fit in the box. The Tree was manufactured, so that you can pull each branch down perpendicular to the floor. Starting at the Bottom of the Tree and working your way to the Top of the Tree, slowly pull down each branch so it is at an approximate 90 degree angle to the floor. If the tree has been assembled and does not look as full as the picture on the cover page, you can easily reshape to its original fullness by bending and separating each of the branches in a more realistic manner. 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 As you will be using the artificial Christmas Tree every year, it is essential to keep it in good condition and clean. 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. TROUBLESHOOTING FOR MINIATURE LIGHTS 1.
