Operating Instructions

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your chandelier.
- Cleaning the Fixture: Turn off power before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the antique bronze finish. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
- Cleaning the Crystals: The crystal components can be gently wiped with a damp, lint-free cloth. For a deeper clean, a mild glass cleaner can be sprayed onto the cloth (not directly onto the crystals or fixture) and then wiped. Ensure no liquid drips into electrical components.
- Bulb Replacement: Always turn off power at the circuit breaker before replacing bulbs. Allow old bulbs to cool before removal. Replace with new incandescent bulbs of the correct type and wattage (max 25 watts per bulb).
- Periodic Inspection: Periodically check all connections and mounting hardware to ensure they remain secure.
