Keep the lamp away from heat sources and flammable materials.
Do not modify the product or its electrical components.

CAUTION! Risk of electric shock. If you are unsure, consult a professional.

Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation.

Prepare the ceiling: Turn off power at the breaker. Identify the installation point on the ceiling, ensuring it can support the lamp's weight.
Mount the ceiling plate: Use the provided screws and wall plugs to securely attach the ceiling plate to the ceiling junction box.
Connect the wires: Have a qualified electrician connect the lamp wires (Live/Brown, Neutral/Blue, Earth/Green-Yellow) to the corresponding household wiring.
Attach the shade: Once the ceiling plate is secure and wired, carefully attach the cloud-shaped shade to the plate according to the provided diagram (usually by aligning and twisting). Ensure it is firmly locked in place.
Install the bulb: Screw a compatible E27 bulb (not included) into the socket. Do not exceed the maximum wattage.
Restore power and test: Turn the power back on at the breaker and test the lamp using the wall switch.

Tip: Use a second person to help hold the shade during installation to avoid strain or dropping.

Operation

The lamp is operated via your room's standard wall light switch.

On/Off: Use the wall switch connected to the lamp's circuit.
Dimming: To dim, ensure you are using a dimmable LED or incandescent E27 bulb and that the wall switch is replaced with a compatible dimmer switch (installation of a dimmer must be done by a qualified electrician).

Note: The lamp itself does not have a built-in switch or dimmer.

Care & Maintenance

Always turn off power and let the bulb cool before cleaning.

Cleaning the shade: Use a soft, dry cloth or a duster. Do not use water, liquid cleaners, or abrasive materials, as they may damage the polyester material.
Cleaning the bulb and socket area: Ensure the bulb is cool and removed. Wipe the socket area with a dry cloth. Do not get moisture inside the socket.
Bulb replacement: When a bulb burns out, turn off the power, let it cool, unscrew the old bulb, and screw in a new compatible E27 bulb.

CAUTION! Never immerse the lamp or any electrical part in water.
