Using your elegant white ceramic table lamp is a breeze. First, find a stable surface for it. Then, insert a TYPE A bulb into the 3 - way socket. Plug it into a 110 - volt outlet. You can adjust the light setting according to your needs. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the ceramic body and the nickel accents to keep them looking shiny. For the white linen shade, be careful not to get it wet. If it gets dirty, you can use a mild fabric cleaner. Also, remember the warning about the nickel in this product.
