Safety Instructions

WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

Always turn off and unplug the lamp from the electrical outlet before assembling, cleaning, or maintaining.
Use only with a compatible IKEA lamp base and a light bulb that does not exceed the maximum wattage specified on the lamp shade label.
Ensure the lamp shade is securely attached to the lamp base to prevent it from falling.
Keep the lamp shade away from direct heat sources, water, and flammable materials.
This product is intended for indoor household use only.
Do not modify the lamp shade or use it if damaged.

Assembly Instructions

Assembling the NYMÖ lamp shade is simple and tool-free for most IKEA bases.

Prepare the Lamp Base: Ensure your IKEA lamp base is assembled according to its own instructions and the bulb socket is accessible.
Attach the Mounting Ring: If your lamp base has a threaded post, screw the mounting ring onto it until hand-tight. If it uses a clip or friction fit, press the ring onto the designated holder until it clicks securely.
Expand the Shade: Gently open the lamp shade to its full shape. Be careful not to tear the material.
Secure the Shade: Align the top opening of the shade with the mounted ring. Most IKEA shades simply rest on the ring or are secured with a gentle press. Ensure it sits evenly and is not crooked.
Final Check: Gently rotate the shade to ensure it is stable and does not wobble.

CAUTION! Handle the shade gently to avoid damaging the material or frame.

Installation on Lamp Base

Follow these steps to install the assembled shade onto your lamp.

Make sure the lamp is unplugged and the light bulb is cool to the touch.
Install a compatible light bulb that meets the wattage requirement (see Specifications). Do not turn the lamp on yet.
Carefully place the assembled lamp shade over the bulb, guiding the mounting ring onto the lamp base's attachment point.
Secure the shade as described in the Assembly Instructions (screw, clip, or friction fit).
Plug in the lamp and test the light. Observe for a few minutes to ensure no overheating occurs.

Tip: Always use the lamp with the shade properly installed to ensure even light distribution and safety.

Care & Cleaning

Proper care will extend the life of your lamp shade.

Regular Dusting: Unplug the lamp. Use a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster to gently remove dust from the outside of the shade.
Deeper Cleaning: For fabric shades, vacuum gently with a brush attachment. Do not use water, liquid cleaners, or abrasive materials, as they may damage the finish or cause stains.
Stubborn Stains: Spot clean only if necessary with a slightly damp cloth, then immediately dry with a soft, dry cloth. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Storage: If storing, ensure the shade is clean and dry. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or material degradation.

CAUTION! Never immerse the lamp shade in water. Do not clean while the lamp is plugged in or the bulb is hot.
