1. Check the name and manual. This guide uses IKEA RÖDFLIK 505.834.39; other materials and water-resistance ratings may require different methods.
2. Switch the lamp off and unplug by gripping the plug, not tugging on the cord. Never handle electrics with wet hands.
3. Wait until the bulb and metal shade are cool to the touch. Do not touch a hot bulb or press cloth onto it.
4. Lightly wipe the shade, stem and base using a soft, dry cloth. IKEA's care instruction for RÖDFLIK is dry-cloth wiping.
5. Do not spray liquids into switches, sockets or ventilation openings, or insert tools into them. Follow the manual for any bulb replacement.
6. Visually check for cracked cable insulation or socket damage before reconnecting. Stop using the lamp and seek qualified service if damaged, sparking or smelling burnt.
