5.2 Step-by-Step Installation
- Mounting Bracket Installation: Secure the mounting crossbar to the ceiling junction box using the provided screws. Ensure it is firmly attached. Note: Some installations may require a different crossbar or longer 1 1/2" 10/32 screws for optimal fit and stability.
- Assemble Chandelier Frame: Carefully attach the decorative branches to the main fixture body. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten the nuts securely.
- Wiring: Connect the chandelier's electrical wires to the house wiring.
- Important: The fixture wires may be colored blue and brown. Typically, blue is neutral and brown is hot. If unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
- Connect the ground wire (usually green or bare copper) from the fixture to the ground wire from the junction box.
- Use wire nuts to secure all connections and wrap with electrical tape for added safety.
- Adjust Chain Length: Determine your desired hanging height. Open the chain links with pliers to adjust the length as needed.
- Secure Canopy: Carefully lift the chandelier and thread the wires through the center hole of the canopy. Push the canopy up against the ceiling and secure it to the mounting bracket using the provided screws or finials. Ensure the canopy sits flush against the ceiling.
- Install Bulbs: Screw in three E12 base bulbs (max 25W each). Bulbs are not included.
