Cuckoo clocks do not need very much regular care. The modern movements are sophisticated, easy to maintain and durable. For cleaning the clock please use a soft dry paint brush. Please have the movement checked and oiled at regular intervals of approx. 2 years by a clockmaker nearby.
The avoid reducing the lifetime of the cuckoo clock please use the clock in standard room temperatures. Temperatrures below 5C (40F), high humidity of the surrounding air, much dust or dampness may damage your clock. Please do not hang the clock directly above a heater or above an open fireplace as the dry and warm air might distort the wooden parts and the oil in the bearings of the clock movement might run dry.
Minor damage on the wooden parts and carvings due to transport may happen sometimes and can not be avoided. Please repair such minor damages yourself by using wood glue and felt-tip pen in the appropriate color.
Our Cuckoo clocks are delicate mechanical products and should not be used as a toy by a child. The chains may break and the weights may fall down if too much force is used. Attention: Children may swallow small parts on the clock which my come off.
