5. Installation Instructions (Setup)

Tools Required (Not Included): Screwdriver, wire strippers, electrical tape, safety glasses, ladder.

1. Turn Off Power: Before starting, ensure the power to the circuit is completely OFF at the main electrical panel (circuit breaker or fuse box).
2. Prepare Mounting Surface: If replacing an existing fixture, carefully remove it. Ensure the junction box is securely mounted and capable of supporting the fixture's weight.
3. Install Mounting Bracket: Attach the mounting bracket to the junction box using the provided screws. Ensure it is flush and stable.
4. Connect Wiring:
   • Connect the black wire from the fixture to the black (live) wire from the junction box 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 ground wire from the fixture to the ground wire from the junction box (or to the green ground screw on the mounting bracket) using a wire nut.
   • Carefully tuck all wires into the junction box.
5. Attach Fixture to Mounting Bracket: Align the fixture with the mounting bracket. Use the provided safety hook to temporarily support the fixture during wiring, if available. Secure the fixture to the mounting bracket using the designated screws. Ensure there are no gaps between the fixture and the ceiling.
6. Restore Power: Once the fixture is securely installed, restore power at the circuit breaker.

Note: For optimal installation, especially in stippled ceilings, consider using the supplemental fasteners (drywall expansion plugs and screws) if provided, to ensure a perfectly flush fit and prevent sagging, as noted in user feedback. It is recommended to have a second person assist with installation due to the size and weight of the fixture.
