Using this table lamp is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot for it in your room. Make sure the area is flat and stable. Plug the lamp into a 110 - volt outlet. Then, screw in the 150W TYPE A bulb into the 3 - way socket. You can switch between different light settings easily. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the ceramic body and the brushed nickel details. For the white fabric shade, a gentle vacuum with a soft brush attachment can help remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the lamp. Remember, this product contains titanium dioxide, which is known to cause cancer in California.
