Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Ensure the plug is securely connected to a working power outlet. Check that the bulb is screwed in correctly and is not burnt out. Verify the wall switch (if applicable) is in the 'on' position.

Gently clean the bone china shade with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning agents. For persistent stains, refer to specialized ceramic cleaning guides or consult a professional.
