Maintenance Tips

• Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to maintain the layered glass shades and metal finish.
• Clean glass carefully using a mild glass cleaner applied to cloth only (never spray directly on the fixture).
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that can scratch or dull the handblown opal glass.
• Switch off and allow to cool before cleaning to prevent heat-related damage.
• Gently wipe metal parts with a dry cloth to preserve the brushed or painted finish.
• Check suspension cable and ceiling mount periodically for secure installation.
• Ensure bulb used matches manufacturer recommendation to maintain balanced light distribution across shades.
• Handle shades with care—glass components are delicate and should not be rotated forcefully.
