• Dimming Function: If a dimmable bulb and compatible dimmer switch are installed, adjust the dimmer to achieve desired brightness.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: To clean the fixture, turn off the power and wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents as they may damage the finish or glass.
