Using your Wylie Table Lamp is easy. First, find a stable spot for it. Then, screw in a Type A bulb with a maximum wattage of 150 (bulb not included). Flip the turn - key switch on the socket to light it up. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the alabaster slab, bronze frame, and linen shade. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the materials. Keep the lamp away from direct sunlight to prevent the linen shade from fading. Make sure the cord is not pinched or damaged, and always unplug the lamp before changing the bulb. This lamp is UL/ETL and CUL approved, so you can use it with confidence, but always follow basic electrical safety rules.
