Using your Baytowne Table Lamp is a breeze. First, find a stable spot for it in your room. Then, plug the clear plastic cord into a power outlet. The lamp uses a Type A bulb, so make sure to install a 150 - watt bulb in the E - 26 socket. You can control the light levels with the 3 - way turn - key switch located on the socket. To maintain your lamp, gently dust the resin body with a soft, dry cloth. For the oatmeal linen shade, use a lint roller to remove any dust or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the lamp, as they could damage the finish or the shade. Always make sure the lamp is unplugged before you clean it or change the bulb. Enjoy the warm, inviting glow of your Baytowne Table Lamp in your home!
