2. Chime Operation (Westminster Chime)

• The Sandringham Wall Clock features a Westminster chime that strikes on the hour.
• To activate the chime, ensure the chime winding hole is fully wound.
• Chime Silence Option: Your clock is equipped with a lever or switch, usually located on the side of the movement or near the dial, to silence the chime. Consult the specific markings on your clock for the exact location and operation of this feature. Move the lever to the 'Silent' or 'Off' position to disable the chime.

3. Adjusting Time Accuracy

• If the clock runs too fast, lower the pendulum bob slightly by turning the nut at the bottom of the pendulum counter-clockwise.
• If the clock runs too slow, raise the pendulum bob slightly by turning the nut at the bottom of the pendulum clockwise.
• Make small adjustments and observe the clock's accuracy over 24 hours before making further changes.

صيانة

1. Cleaning the Cabinet and Glass

• Dust the wooden cabinet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or polishes that may damage the finish.
• For glass surfaces, use a non-ammonia glass cleaner applied to a soft cloth, then wipe the glass. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the glass, as it may seep into the cabinet and damage the wood or movement.

2. Care for the Brass Pendulum

• The brass pendulum is typically lacquered to prevent tarnishing. Clean it only with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use brass polish or abrasive cleaners, as this will remove the protective lacquer.

3. Regular Winding

• Consistent weekly winding is crucial for the clock's longevity and accuracy. Allowing the clock to run down completely before rewinding can put unnecessary stress on the movement.

4. خدمات احترافية

• For optimal performance and to extend the life of your clock, it is recommended to have the movement professionally cleaned and lubricated by a qualified clockmaker every 7-10 years.
