Using your Oil Lantern Table Lamp is super easy. First, find a suitable spot for it in your home. Make sure the surface is flat and stable. Since the bulbs aren't included, you'll need to buy a Type A bulb with a maximum wattage of 150W and screw it into the E26 socket. The 3 - way socket gives you different light settings. You can turn on the lamp using the socket switch. For the built - in night light, just use the switch as well. When it comes to safety, don't use a bulb that exceeds the 150W limit. The cord is made of plastic, so avoid pulling it too hard or placing heavy objects on it. Also, the lamp is UL/ETL and CUL approved, so you know it meets safety standards. To keep your lamp looking great, clean the resin body with a soft, dry cloth. For the burlap shade, use a soft brush to gently remove dust. Don't use harsh chemicals on any part of the lamp, as it could damage the finish and materials.
