5. Operating Instructions
The Maria Theresa Chandelier is designed for simple operation. Once installed and wired correctly, it can be controlled by a standard wall switch (not included) or a compatible dimmer switch.
- Power On/Off: Use the wall switch connected to the fixture to turn the chandelier on or off.
- Dimming (Optional): If connected to a compatible dimmer switch, you can adjust the light intensity. Ensure that the bulbs used are dimmable.
- Bulb Type: This fixture uses E12 Candelabra base bulbs. The maximum wattage per bulb is 60 watts.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the beauty and functionality of your chandelier.
- Cleaning: To clean the metal finish, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or polishes, as they may damage the finish.
- Crystal Cleaning: The crystal components can be gently wiped with a soft, damp cloth. For a deeper clean, a mild glass cleaner can be sparingly applied to a cloth, then wiped onto the crystals. Avoid spraying cleaner directly onto the fixture to prevent damage to electrical components.
- Bulb Replacement: Ensure the power is turned off at the circuit breaker before replacing bulbs. Allow old bulbs to cool completely before removal. Replace with new E12 Candelabra base bulbs, not exceeding 60 watts.
