Using your large orchid lamp is easy. First, find a stable surface to place it on. Make sure the area is dry and free from any objects that could knock it over. Insert a medium - base bulb into the socket, following the 100 - watt maximum limit. Then, use the 3 - way switch to adjust the light to your desired brightness. When it comes to maintenance, gently dust the porcelain flowers and the iron stem with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the antique gold leaf and matte white glaze finishes. If the shade gets dirty, spot - clean it with a mild detergent and let it air dry. Keep the lamp away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. And always unplug the lamp before cleaning or making any adjustments.
