The integrated night shut-off sensor automatically silences the cuckoo chime and melodies during periods of low light or darkness, ensuring undisturbed sleep. The clock will resume chiming when sufficient light is detected.

To clean the clock, gently wipe the wooden surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish.
