What is the recommended way to clean and maintain my clock?
Wax and polish your cabinet as frequently as you would other wooden furniture. Use a good furniture polish or wax. Do not spray directly onto the case. Apply the polish to a soft cloth and never use silicone-based products. Use extreme caution when cleaning the glass. Use a quality liquid non-ammonia glass cleaner. Apply the glass cleaner to a soft cloth – do not spray directly to the glass. For added safety any gold etching is usually on the inside of any glass in the cabinet. It is recommended that your clock movement be oiled every five years from the date of purchase and thoroughly cleaned every ten years depending upon climatic conditions. Extremely dry, humid or salty air, hot or cold may necessitate more frequent servicing. Black Forest Hill does not recommend that you service your clock movement yourself. Cleaning and oiling are not covered under warranty. NEVER EVER use a brass cleaner or brass polish on the brass or clock movement.
