4. Setup and Installation

Professional installation is recommended for individuals unfamiliar with electrical wiring. Ensure power is OFF at the circuit breaker before proceeding.

1. Prepare for Installation:
   • Turn off power at the main circuit breaker.
   • Clear the work area and gather necessary tools (screwdriver, wire strippers, electrical tape, etc.).
2. Determine Hanging Height:

   The fixture includes four removable rods: one 6-inch and three 12-inch rods. Combine these rods to achieve the desired overall hanging height, ranging from 9.6 inches to 51.75 inches (total drop length from ceiling to bottom of fixture).

   • Connect the chosen rods by screwing them together securely.
   • Thread the fixture wires through the assembled rods.
3. Attach Mounting Plate:
   • Secure the mounting plate (located inside the ceiling canopy) to the electrical junction box in the ceiling using the provided screws.
   • Ensure the mounting plate is firmly attached and level.
4. Make Electrical Connections:
   • Connect the fixture's black wire to the house's black (hot) wire.
   • Connect the fixture's white wire to the house's white (neutral) wire.
   • Connect the fixture's ground wire to the house's ground wire (or to the mounting plate if no house ground is available).
   • Secure all connections with wire nuts and wrap with electrical tape for added safety.
5. Install Ceiling Canopy:

   Carefully push the ceiling canopy up against the ceiling, covering the junction box and wiring. Secure it to the mounting plate using the provided screws. The swivel joint under the canopy allows for adjustment on uneven ceilings.

6. Attach Glass Shade:

   Carefully attach the clear glass shade to the fixture. Ensure it is securely fastened according to the fixture's design (typically by a threaded ring or screws).

7. Install Bulb:

   Screw one E26 base bulb (maximum 60-Watt incandescent or LED equivalent) into the socket. A vintage filament bulb is suggested for aesthetic purposes.

8. Restore Power:

   Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore power at the circuit breaker and test the fixture.

This pendant light operates via a standard wall switch (not included). Once installed and powered, simply use the wall switch connected to the circuit to turn the light on or off.

• Power On/Off: Use the connected wall switch to control the light.
• Bulb Replacement: Ensure power is off at the circuit breaker before replacing the bulb. Allow the bulb to cool completely before touching. Unscrew the old bulb and screw in a new E26 base bulb (max 60W or LED equivalent).

Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your pendant light.

• Cleaning the Fixture:
  • Turn off power to the fixture before cleaning.
