Using these table lamps is easy. Just plug them in and use the pull - chain switch to turn the light on or off. Place them on a stable surface like a bedside table or a side table in your living room. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the metal base and the paper shade. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the lamp. Keep the lamps away from water to prevent electrical hazards. If you notice any issues with the switch or the wiring, stop using the lamp immediately and contact customer service.
