2. Safety Information
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Disconnect power at the fuse or circuit breaker before installation or servicing.
- Always ensure the power supply is turned off before beginning any installation or maintenance.
- Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about any part of the installation process.
- Do not install in wet or damp locations unless the fixture is specifically rated for such environments.
- Ensure all connections are secure and comply with local electrical codes.
3. Package Contents
Verify that all components are present before beginning installation:
- 1 x ELCO Lighting EL602W 6" Super Sloped Baffle Trim
- (Additional mounting hardware may be included with the recessed housing, not this trim.)
4. Setup and Installation
This trim is designed to be installed into a compatible 6-inch recessed lighting housing (sold separately). Follow these general steps:
- Prepare the Housing: Ensure the recessed housing is properly installed in the ceiling and all electrical connections to the housing are complete and secure.
- Install the Lamp (if applicable): If your housing requires the lamp to be installed before the trim, insert the appropriate lamp type into the socket within the housing.
- Insert the Trim: Align the trim with the opening of the recessed housing. Gently push the trim upwards into the housing.
- Secure the Trim: The trim typically uses torsion springs or friction clips to hold it in place. Ensure these mechanisms engage securely with the housing to hold the trim flush against the ceiling.
- Test: Once the trim is securely in place, restore power to the circuit and test the light fixture.
Refer to your specific recessed housing's instruction manual for detailed installation steps, as methods may vary.
5. Operating Instructions
The EL602W baffle trim itself does not have operational controls. Its function is passive, designed to direct and diffuse light from the installed lamp within the recessed housing. Operation of the light fixture is controlled by the wall switch or dimmer connected to the circuit.
6. Maintenance
The EL602W trim requires minimal maintenance:
- Cleaning: To clean the trim, ensure power is off at the circuit breaker. Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
- Lamp Replacement: If the lamp needs replacement, carefully remove the trim by pulling it down from the ceiling (disengaging the springs/clips). Replace the lamp according to the housing manufacturer's instructions, then re-install the trim.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your recessed lighting fixture, consider the following:
- Light Not Turning On:
- Check if the circuit breaker is tripped.
- Ensure the wall switch is in the "ON" position.
- Verify the lamp is correctly installed and not burnt out.
- Confirm electrical connections to the housing are secure.
- Trim Not Sitting Flush:
- Ensure the torsion springs or friction clips are properly engaged with the housing.
- Check for any obstructions within the housing or ceiling opening.
For persistent issues, consult a qualified electrician.
