If the disk cannot be turned, its shift mechanism is engaged.
Please turn the time back by approximately two hours until the disk can be turned. Set
the date and then reset the hands to the correct time of day.
4.3 Setting the date (option)
If your clock has a dial with integrated date feature, observe the following instructions.
Set the date disk with the aid of a pointed tool (pencil or ballpoint pen) engaged in the
small holes above its numerals (picture 6 - see page 54).
If the disk cannot be turned, its shift mechanism is engaged.
Please turn the time back by approximately two hours until the disk can be turned. Set
the date and then reset the hands to the correct time of day.
4.4 Adjusting the calendar dial (option)
If your clock has been fitted with a calendar dial, observe the following instructions:
Before you adjust the calendar dial the correct time of day needs to be set. Should your
clock offer an automatic night-off function make sure that the correct day or night phase
ist set.
Adjusting the calendar dial
All calendar and moon phase functions may be changed with a time setting between 3.00
AM and 9.00 PM, only. Between 9.00 PM and 3.00 AM the gears of the calendar
mechanism are in function and a manual adjustment could damage the mechanism.
The adjustment of the date, day and month function is done manually from the front of
the dial by turning the respective hand. The described hands can be moved clockwise as
well as counterclockwise.
The basic setting of the integrated moon disk is done manually thru the dial opening by
gently pressing and turning the disk until the full moon is centered in dial opening
(numeral "15").
The final adjustment of the moon disk is described in detail in section 4.2 of this manual.

5. Starting the clock

Mantel clocks equipped with a pendulum have to be started.
Open the back door of the clock and push the pendulum from the center to the far left or
right (picture 7 - see page 54).
Due to the built-in automatic beat adjustment, the tic sound of the clock movement will
become perfectly even within a couple of minutes. Should this not be the case, please
repeat the start procedure moving the pendulum to the other side of the clock case.

6. Setting the strike/chime mechanism

Never change (switch, turn on or off) the strike and/or chime selection while the clock is
striking/chiming or the minute hand is positioned directly before the release points
(quarter, half, three quarter and full hour depending on model). This could severely
damage the mechanism.
Clocks equipped with J key wind movements have to be switched from «SILENT» to
«WHITT.» first and the Whittington chime needs to be completed before selecting
another chime.
Depending on the movement your clock is equipped with, different chime options are
available. To select a chime option, use the selector levers positioned to the right or on
