Using your Cavenaugh table lamp is easy. Simply insert a medium - base bulb (up to 150 watts) into the socket. You can adjust the brightness with the 3 - way switch. Place it on a stable surface in your room to add a touch of Italian elegance. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the lamp body and shade. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the Italian green hand finish on the body or the putty beige silkette shade. Keep the lamp away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. If the lamp is not in use for a long time, unplug it to save energy and ensure safety.
