Safety Instructions

Read all instructions before installation and use.

  1. Use only with compatible IKEA lamp bases and LED/bulbs that do not exceed the maximum wattage specified.
  2. Ensure the lamp is unplugged and the bulb is cool before installing or removing the shade.
  3. Do not place the shade near open flames, heat sources, or in damp locations.
  4. Keep out of reach of children and pets during assembly.
  5. Do not modify the shade or its attachment system.

CAUTION! Risk of fire or electric shock if used with incompatible or high-wattage bulbs.

Assembly & Installation

Follow these steps to attach the shade to a compatible IKEA lamp base.

  1. Prepare: Ensure the lamp is unplugged and the bulb is cool or removed.
  2. Align: Hold the shade so the metal ring aligns with the corresponding fittings on the lamp base.
  3. Attach: Press the metal ring onto the base fittings until it clicks or feels secure. If using a hook-and-loop strip, wrap it around the base neck and press the shade fabric onto it firmly.
  4. Secure: Gently tug the shade to ensure it is firmly attached and does not sag or rotate freely.
  5. Final Check: Reinstall the bulb (if removed), ensuring it does not touch the fabric. Plug in the lamp and test.

Tip: For hook-and-loop models, ensure the strip is centered and the fabric is smooth when attached.

Care & Cleaning

Unplug lamp and allow bulb to cool completely before cleaning.

  1. Dusting: Use a soft, dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For stains, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Do not soak or scrub vigorously.
  3. Drying: Allow the shade to air dry completely before reattaching and using the lamp.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.

CAUTION! Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or use harsh chemicals, abrasives, or solvents.
