Using your new table lamp is easy. First, find a stable spot for it. Plug the lamp into a 110 - volt outlet. Screw in the 150 - watt TYPE A bulb into the 3 - way socket. Then, you can adjust the light level according to your needs. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to dust the ceramic base and the linen shade regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the finish. Also, keep in mind the CA Prop 65 warning about nickel. If you have any concerns, refer to the provided website for more information.
