Using your Winslet Table Lamp is a breeze. Just plug the cord into a power outlet and turn the key switch on the socket to light it up. You can choose different brightness levels with the 3 - way socket. When it comes to safety, always use a Type A bulb with a maximum wattage of 100. Don't touch the bulb when it's on as it can get hot. To keep your lamp looking great, dust it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the metal parts or the crystal finial. If the linen shade gets dirty, you can gently vacuum it. Make sure to keep the lamp on a stable surface to prevent it from tipping over. That's all you need to know to enjoy your beautiful Winslet Table Lamp for years to come.
