    CARE AND MAINTENANCE It is not recommended to hold Octopod only by one leg – this can lead to damage. Fingerprints will also damage the coating so always wear gloves when manipulating the clock or wipe out the finger- print. Use only a soft and dry cloth to clean the clock. Dust and particles contained in the cloth could scratch parts.
