4. Bulb Installation

• This fixture requires 4 x E12 base, G16.5 shape 120V light bulbs (40W max incandescent or LED equivalent). Bulbs are sold separately.
• Carefully screw the bulbs into the sockets. Do not overtighten.
• Ensure bulbs are fully seated in the sockets.

Operating Instructions

Once installation is complete and all crystals and bulbs are securely in place, restore power at the circuit breaker. The fixture is designed for standard wall switch operation. For dimming functionality, ensure you are using dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch (sold separately).

• Power On/Off: Use your wall switch to turn the light fixture on or off.
• Dimming: If a compatible dimmer switch is installed, adjust the dimmer to control the light intensity.

Maintenance and Care

Regular cleaning will maintain the beauty and brilliance of your Schonbek fixture.

• Cleaning the Fixture Frame: Dust the metal frame with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water, then dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Cleaning the Crystals: The Swarovski Spectra crystals can be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized crystal cleaner or a solution of mild soap and distilled water. Spray the solution onto the cloth, not directly onto the crystals or fixture. Gently wipe and then buff dry with a clean, dry cloth.
• Bulb Replacement: Always turn off power at the circuit breaker before replacing bulbs. Allow bulbs to cool completely before touching.
