- Ṣii silẹ: Carefully remove the clock from its packaging. Retain all packaging materials for future transport or storage. Ensure all protective inserts, especially around the cuckoo door and hands, are removed.
- Gbigbe aago naa: Select a sturdy wall location, preferably an interior wall, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or excessive humidity. Use a strong screw or hook securely fastened into a wall stud or appropriate anchor. The clock should hang level to ensure proper pendulum swing.
- Attaching the Pendulum: Locate the pendulum. Gently hook the pendulum onto the wire loop extending from the bottom of the clock mechanism. Ensure it hangs freely.
- Attaching the Weights: The clock operates using two weights. Carefully uncoil the chains and attach one weight to each chain hook. The weights should hang freely without touching each other or the clock case.
- Iyika Ibẹrẹ: Gently pull down on the free end of each chain until the weights are fully raised to the bottom of the clock case. This winds the 8-day movement. Do not pull excessively hard.
- Ṣiṣeto akoko naa: To set the time, only move the minute hand (the longer hand) forward, clockwise, until the correct time is displayed. Pause briefly at each full hour and half-hour to allow the cuckoo to call. Do not move the hour hand manually.
- Bibẹrẹ aago: Gently push the pendulum to one side and release it. The clock should begin to tick evenly. If the ticking is uneven, slightly adjust the clock's position on the wall until an even tick-tock sound is achieved.
- Night Off Feature: This clock includes a night-off function. Consult the specific instructions provided with your clock for details on how to activate or deactivate this feature, which silences the cuckoo call during nighttime hours.

- Yiyi: Your cuckoo clock features an 8-day movement, meaning it requires winding approximately once a week. To wind, gently pull down on the free end of each chain until the weights are fully raised. It is recommended to wind the clock at the same time each week.
- Cuckoo Call: The cuckoo bird will emerge and call once on the half-hour and the corresponding number of times on the full hour (e.g., three calls at 3:00).
- Atunse akoko: For minor time adjustments, you can carefully move the minute hand forward or backward a small amount. For larger adjustments, it is best to move the minute hand forward, pausing at each hour and half-hour for the cuckoo to call.
