Setup

Your Himalayan Salt Lamp comes fully assembled and ready to use. Follow these steps for initial setup:

1. Carefully remove the lamp from its packaging.
2. Place the lamp on a flat, stable surface in your desired location. Ensure the surface is protected, as salt lamps can sometimes 'sweat' in humid conditions.
3. Plug the power cord into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.

The lamp is suitable for various indoor environments, including bedrooms, living rooms, and home offices.

Operating Instructions

Your salt lamp features an integrated dimmer switch for adjustable lighting. This allows you to control the warmth and glow of the lamp to suit your preference.

• To turn the lamp ON/OFF, rotate the dimmer knob clockwise until you hear a click.
• To adjust the brightness, continue rotating the knob. Turning it clockwise will increase the brightness, while turning it counter-clockwise will dim the light.

The lamp emits a warm orange glow, ideal for creating a calming and relaxing ambiance.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your salt lamp.

Bulb Replacement

The lamp uses a 15-watt E12 incandescent bulb. Spare bulbs are often included with your purchase. To replace the bulb:

1. Unplug the lamp from the power outlet.
2. Carefully lift the salt crystal from its wooden base.
3. Gently squeeze the metal clips holding the bulb holder in place and pull the holder out from the base.
4. Unscrew the old bulb and screw in the new 15-watt E12 bulb.
5. Reinsert the bulb holder into the base, ensuring the clips secure it.
6. Place the salt crystal back onto the wooden base.

Cleaning

To clean your salt lamp, simply wipe it with a dry cloth. Do not use water or wet cloths, as salt is hygroscopic and can absorb moisture, leading to damage or 'sweating'.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your salt lamp, consider the following:

• Lamp Not Lighting Up: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the lamp and the electrical outlet. Check if the bulb is properly screwed in and not burnt out. Replace the bulb if necessary.
• Lamp 'Sweating' or Leaking Water: Himalayan salt lamps are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb moisture from the air. This is normal, especially in humid environments. To minimize sweating, keep the lamp on as much as possible, as the heat from the bulb helps evaporate moisture. Avoid placing the lamp in highly humid areas like bathrooms or near open windows during rainy weather. If the lamp is sweating excessively, wipe it with a dry cloth and consider placing it in a drier location.
• Dimmer Switch Malfunction: Ensure the dimmer switch is fully rotated to the 'on' position. If the lamp still does not respond, check the bulb and power connection. If issues persist, the dimmer unit may need replacement.
