Using your new table lamp is easy. First, do the partial assembly as described in the included instructions. Then, plug the 72-inch cord into a power outlet. Use the rotary socket switch to turn the light on and off. To adjust the light, you can use different types of bulbs with a maximum wattage of 60. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the black metal base and the white fabric drum shade. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the lamp. Do not use this lamp for commercial purposes. And always be aware of the Prop65 warning when handling the product.
