Using your new table lamp is easy. First, find a stable surface near a junction box to place the lamp. Since assembly is required, carefully follow the included instructions to put the lamp together. Once assembled, plug the lamp into the junction box using the provided cord. Use the ON/OFF switch on the plug to turn the lamp on and off. When it comes to bulbs, you'll need to purchase three G9 bulbs separately. Don't try to use other types of bulbs as it may affect the lamp's performance. As for maintenance, simply use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the metal frame and glass shades regularly. Keep the lamp away from water and high - humidity areas. If you notice any issues, check the connection at the junction box and the bulbs. If problems persist, contact customer service.
