Using this table lamp is easy. First, find a stable surface for it. Plug the six - foot cord into a power outlet. Then, use the on/off inline switch to turn the lamp on or off. You can adjust the brightness with the 60W dimmable light to suit your needs. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the metal body and the metallic shade gently. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the dark bronze finish. Keep the lamp away from water to prevent electrical hazards. If you notice any issues, contact the customer service.
