Setup and Installation
This trim is designed for flush mount, ceiling mount installation with a compatible 4-inch recessed housing (sold separately). No assembly is required for the trim itself.
- Turn Off Power: Before starting, ensure the power to the circuit where the recessed light will be installed is turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
- Prepare Housing: Install the compatible 4-inch recessed lighting housing according to its specific instructions. Ensure all electrical connections are secure and properly insulated.
- Install Light Source: Insert the appropriate GX53 base LED light source into the recessed housing socket.
- Install Trim: Align the ELK4741 trim with the recessed housing opening. Gently push the trim upwards until its retention clips engage with the housing, securing it flush against the ceiling. Ensure the trim is seated evenly.
- Restore Power: Once the trim is securely installed, restore power to the circuit.
Operating Instructions
The ELK4741 trim itself does not have operational controls. Its function is to provide a finished appearance and direct light from the installed light source. The operation of the light fixture (on/off, dimming) is controlled by the wall switch or dimmer connected to the recessed housing circuit.
Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and performance of your ELK4741 trim:
- Cleaning: Ensure power is off before cleaning. Wipe the trim with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishes, as these can damage the finish.
- Bulb Replacement: If the light source needs replacement, turn off power at the circuit breaker. Carefully remove the trim by gently pulling it down from the ceiling. Replace the GX53 LED bulb, then re-install the trim as per the installation instructions.
Troubleshooting
If the light fixture is not functioning after trim installation, consider the following:
- No Light:
- Check if the circuit breaker is tripped or if the fuse is blown.
- Ensure the wall switch is in the 'ON' position.
- Verify that the light source (bulb) is correctly seated in the socket and is not faulty.
- Confirm that the recessed housing is properly wired and receiving power.
- Trim Not Flush:
- Ensure the retention clips are fully engaged with the recessed housing.
- Check for any obstructions preventing the trim from seating correctly.
If issues persist, consult a qualified electrician.
