Using your Antero sconce lamp is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot on your wall. Plug the 2 - prong polarized plug into a power outlet and use the inline rocker switch to turn it on. You can use an E12 or Type B bulb with a maximum wattage of 60. When it comes to maintenance, gently dust the lamp with a soft, dry cloth to keep it looking great. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the matte black and antique brass finish as this may damage it. Since it has a Prop 65 warning because of Di(2 - ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), keep it out of reach of children and pets. And always make sure the lamp is unplugged before any cleaning or bulb replacement.
