5. Operating Instructions
Once installed and powered, the chandelier can be operated via a standard wall switch. For dimming capabilities, ensure you have installed dimmable E26 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The chandelier provides warm white light, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
The product specifications mention "App" as a control method, however, this model primarily uses a "Push Button" switch type. If advanced smart home integration is desired, ensure compatible smart bulbs are used with your existing smart home system.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the rattan lampshade, gently wipe it with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this may damage the natural material.
- Bulb Replacement: Always turn off the power before replacing bulbs. Allow bulbs to cool completely before handling. Replace with E26 base bulbs, not exceeding 40W.
- Inspection: Periodically check all connections and the chain for any signs of wear or damage.

- Check the circuit breaker to ensure power is on.
- Verify that bulbs are securely screwed into sockets and are not burnt out.
