[DelBrooklyn]

To keep your MAXIM LIGHTING 2-Light Outdoor Wall Lantern in top condition, follow these cleaning and maintenance steps, as suggested in the instruction manual. First, for cleaning, use a soft cloth and a gentle detergent to wipe down the fixture. Steer clear of abrasive cleaners, as they can harm the finish. Applying a high-quality car wax periodically will help protect the metal from the elements. As for maintenance, regularly check and tighten all screws every three months. Also, avoid placing the lantern near heat sources for extended periods, to prevent potential damage. Always disconnect the lantern from the power source before cleaning or performing any maintenance. Remember to switch off and unplug the lantern, and let the bulb cool before changing the bulb or cleaning. Always use the specified bulb type and do not exceed the maximum wattage to avoid fire hazards. If you notice any damage, such as a torn or frayed cord, do not plug the lantern in and consider replacing the cord. For outdoor installations, apply a silicone sealant around the fixture to prevent water from entering. Following these guidelines will help ensure your MAXIM LIGHTING 2-Light Outdoor Wall Lantern remains in excellent condition and continues to perform optimally.
