Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your clock, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning:
- Wipe the clock's surface with a soft, dry cloth.

- Battery Replacement: Replace the AA battery annually, or sooner if the clock begins to lose time or the cuckoo sound weakens. Always use a fresh, high-quality battery.
- Placement: Avoid placing the clock in direct sunlight or near extreme temperature changes, as this can affect the clock's movement and materials.
