Using your Wheaton Table Lamp is easy. First, find a stable spot for it in your room. Then, screw in a Type A bulb (not included) into the E - 26 socket, making sure not to exceed the 150 - watt maximum. To turn the lamp on and off, use the turn - key switch on the socket. You can choose different light settings with the 3 - way socket. When cleaning the lamp, gently dust the resin base with a soft, dry cloth. For the oatmeal linen shade, you can use a lint roller or a soft brush to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or getting the lamp wet. If you need to move the lamp, unplug it first and hold it by the base to prevent any damage. Always check the cord for any signs of wear and tear, and if you notice any issues, replace the cord to ensure safety.
