Maintenance / Cleaning
The LEDs cannot be replaced. The solar light is
maintenance-free.
Never use caustic cleaners.
Regularly clean the solar light with a dry, lint-
free cloth. Use a slightly moist cloth to remove
any stubborn dirt.
Replace the rechargeable batteries if the light
on time decreases noticeably after some time
despite good sun exposure (see chapter „Re-
placing the battery“). Only use rechargeable
batteries of the right size and of the recom-
mended type (see section „Technical data“).

If a battery leaked, try to remove the fluid from the
battery compartment using a soft cloth.

into contact with your skin or your eyes. If this
does happen, immediately try to remove the
battery fluid under cold running water. Seek
medical attention to be safe.
