Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and appearance of your vanity light:

• Cleaning Instructions: Always turn off the electric current at the circuit breaker before cleaning the fixture.
• Clean metal components with a soft cloth moistened with a mild liquid soap solution.
• Wipe clean and buff with a very soft, dry cloth to prevent water spots or streaks.
• Clean glass shades with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may scratch the glass.
• Do not use cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol, as these can damage the finish.

8. Troubleshooting

If your vanity light is not functioning correctly, try the following:

• No Power: Check the circuit breaker to ensure it is in the 'ON' position. Verify that the wall switch is also 'ON'.
• Bulbs Not Lighting: Ensure bulbs are securely screwed into their sockets. Replace bulbs with new ones to rule out faulty bulbs.
• Flickering Light: Check all wire connections for tightness. Ensure bulbs are compatible with the fixture and any dimmer switches (if installed).
