Setup and Installation
Before You Begin: Ensure power is OFF at the circuit breaker. Gather necessary tools (screwdriver, wire strippers, electrical tape, ladder).

- Electrical Connections: Connect the fixture's wires to your household electrical wires. Connect the black wire (Live) to the black wire, the white wire (Neutral) to the white wire, and the ground wire to the ground wire. Secure connections with wire nuts and electrical tape.
- Mount Fixture: Carefully lift the chandelier and attach the canopy to the mounting bracket, securing it with the provided screws. Ensure all wires are tucked neatly inside the canopy.
- Install Bulbs: Screw 3 E12 base bulbs (max 40W each, not included) into the sockets.
- Hang Crystals: All crystal strands come with pre-installed hooks. Simply hang each crystal strand onto the designated loops on the chandelier frame. Use the provided soft cloth glove to avoid fingerprints.

Maintenance
To maintain the beauty and longevity of your chandelier, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

- Bulb Replacement: Always turn off power at the circuit breaker before replacing bulbs. Allow bulbs to cool completely before touching.
- Inspection: Periodically check all connections and mounting hardware to ensure they remain secure.
