2. Important Safety Information
Please read all safety instructions before using your Himalayan Salt Lamp. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or injury.
- Electrical Safety: Ensure the lamp is plugged into a suitable 220V electrical outlet. Do not use with damaged cords or plugs.
- Moisture Warning: Himalayan salt is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air. Keep the lamp away from high humidity areas (e.g., bathrooms, outdoors) to prevent dripping or melting. Place it on a protective mat if necessary.
- Placement: Place the lamp on a stable, flat surface. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
- Handling: The salt crystal is fragile. Handle with care to avoid breakage.
- Bulb Replacement: Always unplug the lamp before replacing the bulb. Use only 10-watt incandescent bulbs with an E14 base.
- Cleaning: Do not immerse the lamp in water. Clean only with a dry cloth.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow around the lamp to prevent heat buildup.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the lamp, unplug it and gently wipe the salt surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or immerse the lamp in water. Ensure the lamp is completely dry before plugging it back in.
- Bulb Replacement: If the bulb burns out, unplug the lamp. Carefully remove the wooden base and unscrew the old bulb. Screw in a new 10-watt incandescent bulb (E14 base). Replace the wooden base securely.
- Moisture Management: If the lamp starts to 'sweat' or drip water, it indicates high humidity. Turn the lamp on for a few hours to dry it out, or move it to a drier location. Placing a small coaster or mat underneath can protect surfaces.
- Storage: If storing the lamp for an extended period, wrap it in a plastic bag or airtight container to protect it from moisture.
