• Ensure all connections are secure before plugging in the lamp.
• Place the lamp on a stable, level surface to prevent tipping.
• Keep the lamp away from water or other liquids.
• Do not operate the lamp with a damaged cord or plug. If damaged, contact a qualified electrician for repair or replacement.

Note: Light bulbs are not included and must be purchased separately. The main light requires a 100-watt bulb, and the reading light requires a 60-watt bulb.

4. Setup and Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble your Mainstays Combo Floor Lamp:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface.
2. Attach Base: Screw the lowest pole section securely into the lamp base. Ensure it is tightened firmly to provide stability.
3. Assemble Pole: Connect the remaining pole sections by screwing them together clockwise. Gently pull any excess cord through the base as you assemble.
4. Attach Lamp Heads: Screw the main lamp head onto the top pole section. Attach the reading lamp arm to its designated connection point on the main pole, ensuring it is secure.
5. Install Bulbs: Insert one 100-watt bulb into the main lamp socket and one 60-watt bulb into the reading lamp socket. Do not overtighten.
6. Position Lamp: Place the assembled lamp in your desired location, ensuring the power cord can reach an outlet without being stretched or obstructed.

Below the main light, an adjustable arm extends, holding a smaller, downward-facing white plastic shade for task lighting. The lamp has a stable round black base.

5. Operating Instructions

• Main Light Operation: The main light is controlled by a three-way rotary switch located on the lamp head. Turn the switch clockwise to cycle through low, medium, high, and off settings.
• Reading Light Operation: The reading light has its own dedicated on/off switch, typically located on the reading lamp arm or near its base. Activate this switch to turn the reading light on or off independently.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Unplug the lamp before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the lamp pole and base. For the shades, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Bulb Replacement: Ensure the lamp is unplugged and the bulbs have cooled completely before attempting to replace them. Unscrew the old bulb and screw in a new bulb of the correct wattage and type (E26 base, A19 shape recommended).
• Cord Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cord for any signs of damage, fraying, or overheating. If damage is found, discontinue use and seek professional repair.

7. Troubleshooting

• Lamp Does Not Turn On:
  • Check if the lamp is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Verify that the light bulb(s) are screwed in tightly and are not burnt out. Replace if necessary.
  • Ensure the wall switch (if applicable) or the lamp's rotary/on/off switch is in the 'on' position.
• Light Flickers:
  • Tighten the light bulb(s) in their sockets.
  • Try a different bulb to rule out a faulty bulb.
  • Check for loose connections in the lamp's wiring (if accessible and safe to do so, otherwise consult a professional).
• Lamp is Unstable:
  • Ensure all pole sections are tightly screwed together and the base is firmly attached.
  • Place the lamp on a flat, even surface.
