Cleaning 

 

Use a non-abrasive cleaner on the outer glass case. Do not get any water 
inside the clock! 
 

Note: Make sure to unplug the clock before cleaning. While operating 
high voltage is present. 

 

Use 

 
The Nixie clock may be used indoors 50 Deg F. to 120 DegF. Higher or 
lower temperatures will shorten the life of the tubes. 
 

Never use outdoors!
