5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your lamp:

• Cleaning: Always unplug the lamp before cleaning. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe down the metal and marble surfaces. Do not use liquid cleaners, abrasive materials, or chemical solvents, as these can damage the finish.
• Bulb Replacement: Ensure the lamp is unplugged and the bulb has cooled completely before attempting to replace it. Unscrew the old E27 bulb and screw in a new one, ensuring it does not exceed 60W.
• Inspection: Periodically check the power cord for any signs of damage. If the cord is damaged, discontinue use and contact a qualified electrician or the manufacturer.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your lamp, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Lamp Does Not Turn On:
  • Check if the power cord is securely plugged into the wall outlet.
  • Ensure the wall outlet is functional by testing it with another appliance.
  • Verify that the bulb is correctly screwed in and not burnt out. Replace the bulb if necessary.
  • Check the foot switch for any visible damage.
• Light Flickers:
  • Ensure the bulb is screwed in tightly.
  • Try a different E27 bulb to rule out a faulty bulb.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Hofstein customer support.
