Using your Georgine Lamp is easy. First, place the lamp on a stable surface like a bedside table or side table. Then, screw in a medium - base bulb with a maximum wattage of 100. Plug the lamp into a power outlet. You can use the 3 - way switch to adjust the brightness according to your needs. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the ceramic body and acrylic base. Don't use abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the surfaces. When cleaning the silkette lamp shade, be very gentle to avoid damaging the fabric. If the lamp gets wet, unplug it immediately and let it dry completely before using it again. Keep the lamp away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent color fading. This way, your Georgine Lamp will stay beautiful and functional for a long time.
