Using this Kraus table lamp is easy. Just place it in a desired spot in your home, like on a side table or a nightstand. Plug it in and turn it on to enjoy its warm glow. When it comes to maintenance, make sure to wipe up any spills on the metal part right away. Regular dusting is important to keep it looking good. For cleaning, you can use mild soap and water on the metal, but don't use a brass cleaner. When cleaning the glass, use a soft, dry cloth for dusting. If it needs a deeper clean, spray a small amount of glass cleaner on a lint - free cloth and gently wipe. Be aware that the lamp contains a nickel compound which can be a health risk related to cancer, so handle it with care.
