Care Instructions:
THE CABINET Your clock actually requires very little attention. There are a few things you can do however, to keep the cabinet beautiful for a lifetime.
1. Check periodically to see if the clock rests on all four levelers. This is especially important during the first few months if the clock is setting on carpet.
2. Wax or polish your clock occasionally with a non-silicon liquid or paste. In between times, dust the cabinet with a dry, lint free cloth or a cloth dampened with warm water.
3. Never spray furniture polish or window cleaner or bug spray inside the clock cabinet. This will damage the mechanism and the other brass parts of the clock.
THE MOVEMENT
1. Don’t attempt to clean the brass parts of the clock with any type of cleaner. All of the brass has been coated with a clear lacquer to prevent tarnish and rust. If you spray cleaner on them it could remove this coating and cause major problems in the future. If you feel you simply have to clean these parts use a soft, lint-free, dry cloth with nothing on it.
2. Ask your local clockmaster about future service on the movement. Since the mechanical parts of your clock can be affected by humidity, heat, cold, etc. The time to lubricate or clean and lubricate will vary from one location to another. For instance you may need to clean the movement more often if you live near thecoast. NEVER ATTEMPT TO CLEAN OR LUBRICATE THE MOVEMENTUNLESS YOU ARE AQUALIFIED CLOCKMASTER. DO NOT USE A SPRAY LUBRICANT ON THE MOVEMENT OR THE OIL “GRANDMA USED ON HER SEWING MACHINE”.
3. Check the weights once in a while to make sure the top hook and the bottom nut are still tight. They have a tendency to work loose over time.
