How should I clean the anthracite glass?

Is professional installation required?
While simple light fixtures can sometimes be installed by homeowners, due to the size and wiring of this pendant light, professional installation by a qualified electrician is strongly recommended to ensure safety and proper function.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on.
Check that the power supply is switched on at the mains. Ensure the bulb is correctly screwed in and is not faulty. Verify all wiring connections are secure, and if unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
Flickering light.
This could indicate a loose bulb connection or a faulty bulb. Try tightening the bulb or replacing it. If the issue persists, check the wiring or consider if the dimmer switch is compatible.
Glass globe is loose.
Carefully re-secure the globe according to the installation instructions. Ensure any retaining mechanisms are properly tightened without overtightening, which could crack the glass.
Dim light output.
Verify the wattage of the installed bulb does not exceed the maximum recommended. Consider using a higher lumen bulb or supplementing with additional light sources if the room requires brighter illumination.
