Using this Hapuna lamp is a breeze. First, find a stable and flat surface to place your lamp on, like a bedside table or a sideboard. Then, screw in a medium - base bulb up to 100 watts into the socket. You can adjust the light brightness using the 3 - way switch. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the ceramic body and the crystal base to keep them looking shiny. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the surfaces. When it comes to the linen shade, if it gets dirty, you can use a lint roller to pick up dust or a mild fabric cleaner for stains. Make sure to unplug the lamp before any cleaning. Store the lamp in a cool, dry place if you're not using it for a long time. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent the color of the ceramic and the shade from fading.
