Using your Simons Table Lamp is easy. First, find a nice spot for it in your room. Then, plug the clear plastic cord into a power outlet. The lamp uses a TYPE A bulb (not included), so you'll need to buy one with a maximum wattage of 150W and screw it into the E26 socket. To turn the lamp on or off, use the turn - key switch on the socket. The built - in night light will give a soft, warm glow whenever you want a cozy atmosphere. When it comes to maintenance, gently dust the glass lamp body and the linen shade with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the lamp as they might damage the finish. And be careful not to pull on the cord too hard. Also, make sure to unplug the lamp before changing the bulb. With proper care, your lamp will last a long time and keep adding style to your home.
