Using your new table lamp is easy. First, assemble it with a screwdriver as it comes unassembled. Once assembled, plug it in. You can turn the lamp on and off using the rotary switch. The built - in USB port is great for charging your devices while you relax. For maintenance, always unplug the lamp before cleaning. Use a feather duster or a vacuum - brush attachment to dust the white cotton shade. Wipe the black iron base with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using chemicals or household cleaners as they can damage the finish. Keep the lamp in a dry area, as it's not weather - proof or corrosion - resistant. If the LED bulb burns out, you can replace it with a compatible E26 base bulb of up to 40 watts.
