- Adjust Hanging Height: Determine the desired hanging height. Adjust the length of the chains by removing links as needed. Attach the chains to the chandelier frame and the canopy.
- Wire Connections: Carefully connect the fixture's wires to the house wires:
- Connect the black wire (live) from the fixture to the black wire from the junction box.
- Connect the white wire (neutral) from the fixture to the white wire from the junction box.
- Connect the ground wire (bare copper or green) from the fixture to the ground wire from the junction box.
- Mount Canopy: Carefully push the wired canopy up to the ceiling, aligning the screws on the mounting plate with the holes in the canopy. Secure the canopy with the decorative nuts or screws.
- Install Bulbs: Screw 16 E12 base bulbs (not included, max 60W each) into the sockets. Do not overtighten.
- Attach Crystals: If the crystal strips are not pre-assembled, carefully attach them to the chandelier frame according to the included diagram. Handle crystals by their edges to avoid fingerprints.
