Operating Instructions
Once installed, restore power to the circuit at the main electrical panel. The chandelier is designed for indoor use and operates with incandescent light sources. The control method for this fixture is typically via a wall switch or a remote control system if integrated into your home's smart lighting setup. Ensure bulbs are correctly seated for proper operation.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your chandelier.
- Cleaning: To clean the fixture, turn off the power and allow it to cool. Wipe the metal surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. For glass shades, use a mild glass cleaner on a soft cloth, avoiding direct spray onto electrical components. Do not use abrasive cleaners or polishes as they may damage the finish.
- Bulb Replacement: Always turn off the power before replacing bulbs. Allow old bulbs to cool completely before removal. Replace with new 60-watt maximum, E12 Candelabra base incandescent bulbs.
- Inspection: Periodically check all connections and mounting hardware to ensure they remain secure.
