Step-by-Step Installation
- Turn Off Power: Before starting any electrical work, locate the circuit breaker controlling the light fixture's power supply and turn it OFF. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
- Prepare Mounting: If replacing an existing fixture, carefully remove it. Attach the mounting plate to the electrical junction box in the ceiling using the provided screws. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Adjust Chain Length: Determine the desired hanging height for your chandelier. The metal chain is adjustable. Use pliers to open and remove links from the chain to shorten it if necessary. The maximum adjustable height is approximately 59 inches from the ceiling.
- Wire Connections: Carefully connect the fixture's wires to the house wires from the junction box. Use the provided wire nuts to secure each connection:
- Connect the black wire (live) from the fixture to the black wire (or uninsulated) from the junction box.
- Connect the white wire (neutral) from the fixture to the white wire (or ribbed) from the junction box.
- Connect the ground wire (green or bare copper) from the fixture to the ground wire from the junction box.
- Secure Canopy: Carefully push all excess wires into the junction box. Align the chandelier's canopy with the mounting plate and secure it using the decorative nuts or screws provided.
- Install Bulbs: Screw E12 base bulbs (not included) into each of the 6 sockets. Ensure bulbs are fully seated. Do not exceed 60W per bulb.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete, turn the power back ON at the main circuit breaker. Test the fixture to ensure it functions correctly.

Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Always turn off the power to the fixture before cleaning. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the fixture. Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
- Bulb Replacement: Ensure the power is off and the bulbs have cooled completely before attempting to replace them. Screw new E12 bulbs firmly into the sockets.
- Periodic Inspection: Periodically check all electrical connections and mounting hardware to ensure they remain secure. Tighten any loose screws or connections as needed, with the power off.
