Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensuring the longevity and beauty of your Swarovski Marvel Captain America Ornament requires proper setup, consideration of its compatibility with its environment, and diligent care.
Setup Instructions
- Unboxing: Carefully remove the ornament from its packaging. Retain the original packaging for safe storage if you ever need to move or store the piece.
- Inspect: Gently inspect the ornament for any transit damage. If you notice any issues, contact customer support immediately.
- Choose a Display Location: Select a flat, stable, and visible surface. Avoid high-traffic areas where it could be accidentally bumped or knocked over.

Compatibility (Display Environment)
- Indoor Use Only: This ornament is designed for indoor display. Exposure to outdoor elements like direct sunlight, rain, dust, and extreme temperature fluctuations can cause damage.
- Avoid Direct Heat/Cold: Keep the ornament away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, fireplaces) and extreme cold, as rapid temperature changes can stress the crystal.
- Safe from Pets and Children: Due to its fragility and small components, ensure it is displayed out of reach of small children and pets.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care will keep your crystal sparkling for years.
- Dusting: Regularly dust the ornament with a soft, lint-free cloth. A soft brush can be used to gently remove dust from intricate areas.
- Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, very gently wipe the crystal surfaces with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Use only water; avoid abrasive cleaners, window cleaners, or harsh chemicals, which can damage the crystal's finish.
- Drying: Immediately after cleaning with a damp cloth, gently dry the ornament with a dry, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots.
- Handling: Always handle the ornament by its base or sturdy parts. Avoid touching the delicate features like outstretched arms or the shield's edge with excessive force.
- Storage: If storing the ornament, use its original padded box or wrap it in a soft, non-abrasive material and place it in a secure container to prevent scratches or breakage.
