Setup & Installation
Professional installation is recommended for this chandelier. Follow these general steps, referring to the included installation sheet for specific details.
1. Prepare for Installation
- Turn off power at the circuit breaker.
- Carefully unpack the fixture and components.
- Determine the desired hanging height. For an 8-foot ceiling, the bottom of the chandelier should be 30-36 inches above a dining table. For higher ceilings, divide the vertical space into thirds and position the chandelier two-thirds of the distance from the floor, ensuring at least 7 feet of clearance from the floor in areas where people walk underneath.
2. Mount the Fixture
- Attach the mounting bracket to the junction box in the ceiling.
- Adjust the chain length as needed. The supplied chain is 6 feet long.
- Thread the electrical wires through the chain and canopy.
3. Electrical Connections
- Connect the fixture's ground wire to the ground wire from the junction box.
- Connect the fixture's 'white or identified' wire (often with ridges) to the white (neutral) wire from the junction box.
- Connect the fixture's 'plain or black' wire to the black (hot) wire from the junction box.
- Secure all connections with wire nuts and electrical tape.
4. Final Assembly
- Secure the canopy to the ceiling.
- Install 9 candelabra-shaped bulbs (E26 base, maximum 60 watts each). Note: Only candelabra-shaped bulbs can be used with the shades.
- Attach the off-white linen shades to each light socket.
- Restore power at the circuit breaker.

Operating Instructions
Once properly installed, your chandelier can be operated using a standard wall switch. If your electrical setup includes a dimmer switch, ensure it is compatible with incandescent bulbs for optimal performance.
The fixture's switch type is listed as 'Pull Chain' in some specifications, however, the primary control is typically via a wall switch for chandeliers of this design. Please refer to your specific home wiring and switch setup.
Maintenance
Cleaning
- Always turn off power before cleaning.
- Wipe the fixture with a soft, dry cloth.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents as they may damage the finish.
- The linen shades can be gently dusted or spot cleaned with a damp cloth if necessary.
Bulb Replacement
- Ensure power is off and bulbs have cooled before replacing.
- Unscrew old bulbs and screw in new E26 candelabra-shaped bulbs.
- Do not exceed the maximum wattage of 60 watts per bulb.
Troubleshooting
If your chandelier is not functioning correctly, refer to the following common issues:
- No Light: Check the circuit breaker, ensure bulbs are securely screwed in, and verify all electrical connections are tight.
- Flickering Lights: Ensure bulbs are fully tightened. If using a dimmer, confirm it is compatible with the bulb type and that the bulbs are dimmable.
- Loose Fixture: Re-check mounting hardware and ensure it is securely fastened to the ceiling junction box.
If issues persist, consult a qualified electrician.
