Setup and Installation

This section outlines the steps for installing your Meyda Tiffany Chandelier. It is recommended to have assistance during installation due to the fixture's size and weight.

Tools and Materials Required:

• Phillips head screwdriver
• Flathead screwdriver
• Wire strippers
• Electrical tape
• Ladder
• Safety glasses

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare for Installation: Turn off power at the main circuit breaker. Clear the area beneath the installation point.
2. Mounting Bracket Installation: Secure the mounting bracket (included) to the electrical junction box in the ceiling. Ensure it is firmly attached and can support the fixture's weight (approximately 14.25 lbs).
3. Wire Connections: Carefully connect the fixture's wires to the corresponding house wires. Connect the black (hot) wire from the fixture to the black (hot) wire from the junction box. Connect the white (neutral) wire from the fixture to the white (neutral) wire from the junction box. Connect the green or bare copper (ground) wire from the fixture to the ground wire from the junction box. Use wire nuts to secure connections and wrap with electrical tape for added safety.
4. Fixture Attachment: Carefully lift the chandelier and attach it to the mounting bracket according to the specific design of the fixture's canopy. Ensure all screws are tightened securely to hold the fixture firmly against the ceiling.
5. Shade and Bulb Installation: Install the glass shades onto the fixture. Insert the recommended light bulbs (not included) into the sockets. Refer to the specifications section for bulb type and wattage.
6. Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all components are secure, turn the power back on at the main circuit breaker. Test the fixture to ensure it functions correctly.

Operating Instructions

The Meyda Tiffany 60911 Chandelier operates like any standard ceiling light fixture. It is controlled by a wall switch connected to the circuit. Ensure the correct light bulbs are installed for optimal performance.

• Turning On/Off: Use the wall switch connected to the chandelier's circuit to turn the lights on or off.
• Bulb Replacement: Always turn off the power at the circuit breaker before replacing bulbs. Allow bulbs to cool before handling. Use a soft cloth or gloves to handle new bulbs to avoid transferring oils from your skin, which can shorten bulb life.

Maintenance and Care

Regular cleaning and proper care will help maintain the beauty and functionality of your chandelier.

• Cleaning the Metal Frame: Dust the metal frame regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the finish.
• Cleaning the Glass Shades: The glass shades can be wiped with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a glass cleaner can be used, but spray the cleaner onto the cloth first, not directly onto the shades or fixture. Ensure no liquid drips into electrical components.
• Bulb Maintenance: Check bulbs periodically for signs of wear or flickering. Replace them as needed.
• Electrical Connections: Periodically, and with the power off, check all electrical connections to ensure they remain secure.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your chandelier, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Light does not turn on:
  • Check if the power switch is in the 'ON' position.
  • Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped.
  • Ensure bulbs are correctly seated and not burnt out. Replace if necessary.
  • Check wire connections at the fixture and junction box (with power off).
• Lights flicker:
  • Ensure bulbs are fully tightened.
  • Check for loose wire connections (with power off).
  • If using a dimmer, ensure it is compatible with the bulb type.
• Humming noise:
  • Some dimmers can cause humming. Ensure the dimmer is compatible with the fixture and bulbs.
  • Loose components within the fixture can sometimes cause vibration.

If problems persist after attempting these solutions, contact a qualified electrician or Meyda Tiffany customer support.
