Using your new table lamp is a breeze. First, find a stable spot for it in your living space. Make sure the rotary switch on the socket is turned off. Then, screw in a 100 - watt type A bulb into the socket. Once the bulb is securely in place, you can turn on the lamp using the rotary switch. When it comes to maintenance, gently dust the glass body and fabric shade regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the glass or the fabric as they could damage the lamp. And always remember to turn off the lamp and let the bulb cool down before attempting any cleaning or bulb replacement. Enjoy the warm, inviting light this lamp brings to your home!
