Please refer to the catalogue information or your dealer to
confirm which clock model you own or which features your
clock has.
In the unlikely event of problems during setup or normal
operation that cannot be resolved by following the instructions
in this brochure, please contact your dealer or the Kieninger
service
department.
When
Kieninger, please have all product information available.
1.
Selecting a location
When selecting a location for your clock the following criteria
should be observed:
{ Select a location where the clock can be set up securely
and level.
{ Locations with direct sun light, close to radiators or other
heat sources and/or draught should be avoided.
2.
Setting up the clock
Your Kieninger clock is usually delivered in a solid shipping
carton. Other than the clock and depending on model this
shipping carton contains various accessories, which should be
taken out first:
{ winding key
{ bag for winding key (depending on model)
Kieninger recommends that you save the packaging material
for future use when relocating or moving.
2.1 Preparing the clock
Remove the clock from its packaging and place it close to its
final location. Remove all silk papers, foils and/or adhesive
tapes carefully.
To perform the following steps, Kieninger suggests wearing
cotton gloves or using a soft, dry cloth when handling parts.
2.2 Removing the run block
This clock is fitted with a plastic run block for shipping. The
run block attaches to the winding arbor and prevents any
forward movement of the minute hand. To remove the run
block turn the minute hand counterclockwise (backwards) and
pull the run block off the winding arbor.
2.3 Positioning the clock
Position the clock into its final location. Make sure that the
clock stands level and secure, as it may otherwise tip or not
operate properly.
3.
Winding the clock
The spring of your clock should be wound regularly and
evenly.
To wind the clock open the clock case following picture 1 and
2 and insert the winding key into the winding hole as far as
possible.
The key wind mechanism is wound counterclockwise until a
noticeable resistance develops (picture 3).
When winding the clock, and if possible, use your free hand to
stabilize the clock case.
4.
Setting the clock
The functionality of your clock allows for a usage as
conference clock (all 4 dials show the same time) as well as a
world time clock (all 4 dials show individually set time zones).
When adjusting the main dial hands (the dial with the second
hand and the winding hole) the remaining 3 hand sets of the
side dials will move synchronized. The side dials can be set
individually, too.
Setting the time allways starts with manually moving the
minute hand of the main dial (Bild 4): The hour hand of the
main dial and the factory synchronized hands of the side dials
will move automatically.

your
dealer
In the next step – if the function as world time clock is wanted
– all three side dial settings can be individually set by moving
the respective minute hand. The set time differential between
main and side dials will remain during normal operation as
well as when resetting the main dial (example: day light
savings time).

Care and Maintenance
Your

clock
maintenance.
Listed below are some steps you can take to maintain the
function and appearance of your clock for many years:
{ Wind your clock regularly (once a month).
{ Keep the clock case closed.
{ Check periodically to ensure that your clock is standing
level and securely.
{ Clean and polish your clock cabinet as frequently as you do
your other furniture. To retain the luster of the wood a mild
non-silicone liquid or paste wax polish can be used when
needed. All brass components are tarnish proofed with
clear laquer and should be wiped with a soft, dry cotton
cloth, only.
{ Kieninger recommends that your clock movement be oiled
(synthetic oil No. 859 by Etsyntha) every five (5) years by
an authorized service center and thoroughly cleaned every
ten (10) years. Extreme environmental conditions (air
humidity and quality, temperature, etc.) may necessitate
more frequent servicing.

Relocating the clock
To avoid unneccessary damage when relocating or moving
the clock, you should ensure that the clock and all accessories
are packed in the original packaging (see section 2).
At the new location, repeat the setup of the clock as previously
described.
7.
Trouble shooting

clock, you should check the following items before contacting
your dealer or Kieninger. In any case do not attempt any
adjustment not described in this manual or you do not feel
confident in making.
{ Has all the packing material been removed from the
movement?
{ Is the coil spring wound sufficiently?
{ Is the clock standing level and secure?
{ Do all the hands operate without interference?
