1. Safety Information

Please read these instructions carefully before installation and use. Retain this manual for future reference.

• Electrical Safety: Always turn off the main power supply at the circuit breaker before beginning any electrical work. Ensure proper grounding. If you are unsure about electrical installations, consult a qualified electrician.
• Bulb Replacement: To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, turn off and unplug the unit and allow it to cool before replacing the lamp. Do not touch the bulb when the device is turned on or look directly at the light bulb. Keep away from flammable materials.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps preserve the appearance and functionality of your light fixture.

• Cleaning: To clean the fixture, ensure the power is off and the fixture is cool. Wipe the chrome finish and crystal shades with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishes, as these can damage the finish.
• Bulb Replacement: Refer to the 'Safety Information' section for guidelines on safe bulb replacement.
• Inspection: Periodically check for any loose connections or signs of wear. If any issues are found, turn off the power and consult a qualified electrician.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your light fixture, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Light Does Not Turn On:
  • Check the main power supply at the circuit breaker to ensure it is on.
  • Verify that the wall switch is in the 'ON' position.
  • Ensure bulbs are correctly installed and not burnt out. Replace if necessary.
  • Check wire connections at the junction box for any looseness (ensure power is off before checking).
• Flickering Lights:
  • Ensure bulbs are fully screwed in and making proper contact.
  • Check for loose wiring connections (with power off).
  • Test with new bulbs to rule out faulty bulbs.
• Rust or Discoloration:
  • As noted in safety information, this fixture may be susceptible to rust in high-humidity environments. Ensure adequate ventilation in bathrooms or consider alternative fixtures for such locations.
