Using your Timber Table Lamp is super easy. First, make sure the lamp is unplugged. Then, screw in the TYPE A bulb into the 3 - way socket. Plug the lamp into a 110 - volt outlet. You can adjust the light brightness using the 3 - way socket feature. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the lamp body and the white cotton shade. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the finish and fabric. If the bulb burns out, simply unplug the lamp and replace it with a new 150 - watt TYPE A bulb. Remember, this lamp contains nickel, so follow the California Prop 65 warning and keep it out of reach of children if possible. Store the lamp in a dry place when not in use to prevent any damage.
