Using this lamp is easy. First, find a stable spot for it. Then, screw in a medium - base bulb with a maximum wattage of 100. You can adjust the light levels with the 3 - way switch. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the glass vase and the polished nickel mountings. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the mint green and white finishes. For the silkete shade, a soft brush can be used to remove dust. Keep the lamp away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. And remember, the lamp is not equipped with a USB, so don't try to connect any devices to it.
