This trim is designed for use with 6-inch non-IC recessed housings, specifically models 17000 and 17001R. Please read these instructions carefully before beginning installation to ensure proper function and safety.

Setup and Installation

Safety First: Before beginning any electrical work, ensure the power supply to the fixture is turned OFF at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.

Required Tools (Not Included):

• Screwdriver (if needed for housing adjustment)
• Work gloves (recommended)

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Housing: Ensure your 6-inch non-IC recessed housing (e.g., NICOR 17000 or 17001R) is properly installed and wired according to local electrical codes.
2. Install the Light Bulb: Carefully screw the compatible 75-Watt BR30/PAR30 light bulb into the socket within the recessed housing. Do not overtighten.
3. Attach the Trim: Align the trim with the recessed housing. The 17504SP trim is designed for single-piece mounting. Gently push the trim upwards into the housing until the spring clips (or torsion springs, depending on housing type) engage and hold the trim securely in place. Ensure the trim is flush with the ceiling surface.
4. Verify Installation: Once the trim is securely in place, restore power to the circuit. Test the light fixture to ensure it functions correctly.

If you encounter any difficulties during installation, consult a qualified electrician.

Operation

The NICOR 17504SP Baffle Trim is a passive component of your recessed lighting system. Once installed, its operation is directly tied to the light bulb and the electrical circuit it is connected to. The trim itself does not have any moving parts or controls. Light is turned on and off via the wall switch or dimmer connected to the circuit.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your recessed light trim.

• Cleaning: To clean the trim, ensure the power is off and the light bulb is cool. Use a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth to wipe down the surface. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishes, as these can damage the finish.
• Bulb Replacement: When replacing the light bulb, ensure the power is off. Allow the old bulb to cool completely before removing it. Install a new 75-Watt BR30/PAR30 bulb, ensuring it is securely seated in the socket.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the trim for any signs of damage or loosening. If the trim appears loose, gently push it back into the housing until it is secure.

Troubleshooting

Most issues related to recessed lighting are electrical or bulb-related, rather than with the trim itself. However, here are some common scenarios:

• Light Not Turning On:
  • Check the light bulb: Ensure it is screwed in tightly and is not burnt out. Replace if necessary.
  • Check the circuit breaker: Verify that the circuit breaker for the lighting circuit has not tripped.
  • Check the wall switch: Ensure the switch is in the "ON" position and is functioning correctly.
• Trim Appears Loose:
  • Gently push the trim back into the housing until the spring clips engage firmly. If the clips are damaged, the trim may need replacement or professional assistance.
• Uneven Light Distribution:
  • Ensure the correct type and wattage of bulb (75-Watt BR30/PAR30) is used.
  • Verify the trim is seated flush and centered within the housing.

For persistent electrical issues, consult a qualified electrician.
