Setup and Installation

Tools Required: Phillips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, wire strippers, electrical tape, safety glasses, ladder.

1. Turn Off Power: Locate the circuit breaker or fuse box that supplies power to the light fixture location. Turn off the power completely to prevent electrical shock.
2. Prepare Mounting: Remove the existing fixture (if any). Attach the mounting crossbar to the electrical junction box using the provided mounting screws. Ensure the crossbar is securely fastened.
3. Adjust Cord Length: The pendant comes with 10 feet of fabric cord. Determine the desired hanging height for your fixture. Carefully feed the excess cord into the canopy or trim it to the appropriate length, ensuring enough wire remains for electrical connections.
4. Make Electrical Connections:
   • Connect the green or bare copper ground wire from the fixture to the ground wire from the junction box (usually bare copper or green) using a wire nut.
   • Connect the white wire from the fixture to the white (neutral) wire from the junction box using a wire nut.
   • Connect the black wire from the fixture to the black (hot) wire from the junction box using a wire nut.
   • Ensure all connections are secure and insulated with electrical tape if necessary.
5. Mount Canopy: Carefully push the wired connections into the junction box. Align the canopy with the mounting screws on the crossbar and secure it in place with the decorative nuts or screws provided.
6. Install Glass Shade: Carefully attach the clear glass shade to the fixture according to the design. This typically involves threading it onto the socket or securing it with a retaining ring.
7. Install Bulb: Screw in a light bulb (not included) into the socket. Ensure the bulb does not exceed the maximum wattage of 100 watts.
8. Restore Power: Once installation is complete, turn the power back on at the circuit breaker or fuse box.

Operating Instructions

The Innovations Lighting Cindyrella Mini Pendant Light operates like a standard hardwired light fixture. It is controlled by the wall switch connected to its electrical circuit.

• Turning On/Off: Use the wall switch to turn the light fixture on or off.
• Bulb Replacement: To replace the bulb, ensure the power is turned off at the wall switch and preferably at the circuit breaker. Allow the bulb to cool completely before unscrewing it. Install a new bulb of the correct type and wattage (max 100W).

Maintenance

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

• Cleaning: Turn off the power before cleaning. Wipe the fixture with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishes as they may damage the finish. For the glass shade, a mild glass cleaner applied to a cloth (not directly to the fixture) can be used.
• Bulb Care: Replace bulbs promptly when they burn out. Always use bulbs that meet the specified wattage and type.
• Inspections: Periodically check all electrical connections and mounting hardware for tightness.

Troubleshooting

If your pendant light is not functioning correctly, refer to the following common issues and solutions:

• Light does not turn on:
  • Check if the power is on at the wall switch and the circuit breaker.
  • Ensure the bulb is screwed in tightly and is not burnt out. Replace the bulb if necessary.
  • Verify electrical connections are secure (turn off power before checking).
• Light flickers:
  • Ensure the bulb is screwed in tightly.
  • Check for loose wire connections (turn off power before checking).
  • The bulb may be faulty or incompatible with a dimmer switch (if installed).
• Fixture hums:
  • Some LED bulbs or dimmer switches can cause humming. Try a different bulb or dimmer.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact a qualified electrician or Innovations Lighting customer support.
