   Connect the fixture's wires to the house wires:

   • Connect the black wire from the fixture to the black (hot) wire from the outlet box using a wire nut (G).
   • Connect the white wire from the fixture to the white (neutral) wire from the outlet box using a wire nut (G).
   • Connect the bare copper or green ground wire from the fixture to the green or bare copper ground wire from the outlet box, and to the mounting bracket (A) using a ground screw if available, then secure with a wire nut (G).

   Carefully tuck all wires into the outlet box.

4. Install Bulbs:

   Insert three E26 base bulbs (J, not included) into the sockets. Do not exceed the maximum wattage of 60 watts per bulb.

5. Attach Glass Diffuser and Finial:

   Place the glass diffuser (E) over the inner drum shade (C) and secure it by screwing the finial (F) onto the threaded rod at the center of the fixture. Tighten gently to avoid overtightening.
