4.1. Prepare the Ceiling Canopy
- Unpack all components and lay them out on a clean, flat surface.
- Attach the mounting bracket to the ceiling junction box using the provided screws. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Adjust the length of each pendant cord by pushing the cord through the cord grips on the canopy. Secure the desired length by tightening the cord grips.
- Connect the electrical wires from each pendant to the main wires within the canopy using wire nuts. Ensure proper polarity (live to live, neutral to neutral, ground to ground).

- Secure the canopy to the mounting bracket using the decorative nuts or screws provided. Ensure the canopy is flush against the ceiling.
