Setup and Installation
Safety Precautions
- Ensure the power supply to the light fixture is turned OFF at the circuit breaker before beginning any installation or replacement.
- Allow the light bulb and fixture to cool completely before handling to prevent burns.
- Handle the glass globe with care to avoid breakage.
Installation Steps
- Carefully remove the existing globe or shade from your light fixture. If replacing a broken globe, ensure all glass fragments are safely cleared.
- Inspect the fitter on your light fixture to confirm it is compatible with a 4-inch fitter opening.
- Gently place the Westinghouse 85571 globe onto the fixture's fitter.
- Secure the globe using the fixture's retaining screws or clips. Do not overtighten, as this may crack the glass. Ensure the globe is seated firmly and evenly.
- Restore power to the light fixture at the circuit breaker.
- Test the light fixture to ensure proper operation.
Operating Instructions
The Westinghouse 85571 Gloss White Ball Globe functions as a light diffuser and protective cover for your light bulb. Once installed, it will diffuse the light emitted from the bulb, providing a softer, more even illumination. No specific operational steps are required beyond the normal use of your light fixture's switch.
Maintenance
Cleaning
- Turn off the power to the light fixture and allow the globe to cool before cleaning.
- Wipe the globe with a soft, damp cloth. A mild glass cleaner can be used if necessary.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch or damage the glass finish.
- Ensure the globe is completely dry before restoring power to the fixture.
Care
- Regularly check the globe for any signs of damage or loosening.
- If the globe becomes chipped or cracked, replace it immediately to prevent further damage or injury.
