Setup and Installation
Professional installation is recommended. Ensure power is disconnected at the circuit breaker before proceeding.
- Prepare Mounting Location: Turn off power at the main electrical panel. Remove the existing fixture and mounting bracket from the junction box.
- Install Mounting Plate: Secure the new mounting plate to the junction box using the provided screws. Ensure it is firmly attached to a structural ceiling element.
- Assemble Extension Rods: Determine the desired hanging height for your chandelier. The fixture includes multiple extension rods (e.g., 6-inch, 12-inch, 24-inch) that can be combined to achieve the preferred length. Thread the chosen rods together and attach them to the fixture body and the canopy.
- Adjust Chandelier Arms: The Xenia chandelier features adjustable arms. These can be positioned from a near parallel configuration to a more spread-out, loosely gathered look to suit your aesthetic preference. Carefully adjust each arm by hand.
- Wire Connections: Carefully lift the fixture and make the electrical connections. Connect the fixture's black wire to the house's black (hot) wire, the fixture's white wire to the house's white (neutral) wire, and the fixture's ground wire to the house's ground wire (or green ground screw on the mounting plate). Secure connections with wire nuts.
- Mount Canopy: Tuck all wires into the junction box. Secure the canopy to the mounting plate using the provided screws or nuts, ensuring a snug fit against the ceiling. This fixture is compatible with sloped or vaulted ceilings.
- Install Bulbs: Screw six (6) 60 Watt A19 bulbs (E26 Medium base) into the sockets. Do not overtighten.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete, restore power at the circuit breaker and test the fixture.

Operating Instructions
The Elk Home Xenia Chandelier is operated via a standard wall switch. For dimming functionality, ensure you use dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch (both not included). This allows for adjustment of brightness and ambiance.
Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your chandelier, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Disconnect power before cleaning. Use a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth to wipe the metal surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishes as they may damage the oil rubbed bronze finish.
- Bulb Replacement: Ensure power is off before replacing bulbs. Allow bulbs to cool completely before handling. Replace with six (6) 60 Watt A19 bulbs (E26 Medium base) or equivalent LED/CFL bulbs.
- Inspection: Periodically check all connections and mounting hardware to ensure they remain secure.
