Disconnect the mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe glass clean with glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents. The glass will require regular cleaning, as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the light-output quickly. Keep connections clean.
