4.1 Preparation

1. Turn off Power: Locate the circuit breaker controlling the light fixture's location and turn off the power. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
2. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging and place them on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches.
3. Identify Components: Familiarize yourself with the fixture components and mounting hardware.

4.2 Mounting the Fixture

1. Attach Mounting Bracket: Secure the metal mounting bracket (shown in Image 4.2) to the ceiling junction box using the provided screws. Ensure it is firmly attached and can support the weight of the fixture.
2. Adjust Height: The pendant light's height is adjustable up to a maximum of 119 cm (approximately 46.8 inches) by adjusting the chains. Determine the desired hanging height before proceeding.
3. Electrical Connections: Connect the fixture's electrical wires to your household wiring. Typically, this involves connecting live to live (black/brown), neutral to neutral (white/blue), and ground to ground (green/yellow). Ensure all connections are secure using wire nuts.
4. Secure Canopy: Carefully lift the fixture and attach the ceiling canopy to the mounting bracket, securing it with the decorative nuts or screws provided. Ensure no wires are pinched.
