Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Alessi Firenze Wall Clock, ensure the chosen wall surface is stable and capable of supporting the weight of the clock. Use a secure mounting hook or screw that fits the bracket on the back of the casing. When inserting the battery, ensure correct polarity to activate the quartz movement. For care, keep the clock away from areas of extreme humidity or direct, harsh sunlight to maintain the integrity of the finish. To clean, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust from the face and hands; avoid the use of chemical cleaning agents, as these may damage the clock's surface finish.
