Using your Huntington lamp is a breeze. First, find a stable surface in your bedroom, home office, or living area to place the lamp. Make sure the surface can support the lamp's weight of 19 pounds. Insert a medium - base bulb into the socket, and don't exceed the 100 - watt maximum. The 3 - way switch allows you to adjust the brightness to suit your needs. When it comes to maintenance, gently dust the ceramic body and the linen shade regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the lamp, as they can damage the hatched glaze on the ceramic or the natural linen of the shade. If the shade gets dirty, spot - clean it with a mild detergent and water, then let it air dry. Keep the lamp away from direct sunlight to prevent the color from fading over time. And that's all you need to know to enjoy your beautiful Huntington lamp for years to come.
