Safety Information
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
DANGER
- For your protection and safety, carefully read and understand all information before attempting to assemble, install, or operate this product. Failure to do so could lead to electrical shock, fire, or other hazardous or fatal injuries.
- DO NOT connect this fixture to an electrical system that does not provide a means for equipment grounding. Never use a fixture in a two-wire system that is not grounded. Improper grounding can cause metal parts of the fixture to carry electrical currents if wires become broken or loose, leading to serious injury or death from electrical shock upon contact.
- DO NOT connect the bare or green insulation fixture ground wire to the black (HOT) current-carrying wire or the white NEUTRAL house wire. This can cause metal parts of the fixture to carry electrical currents, resulting in serious injury or death from electrical shock.
- DO NOT damage or cut the wire insulation during installation. DO NOT permit wires to contact any surface with a sharp edge, as this can damage insulation and cause serious injury or death from electrical shock.
WARNING
- All electrical connections must comply with local codes, ordinances, the National Electric Code (NEC), and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. Contact your municipal building department for local code information. Risk of fire: Dwellings built before 1985 may have supply wire rated for 140°F (60°C). Consult a qualified electrician before installation.
- To avoid personal injury, gloves may be necessary when handling fixture parts with sharp edges.
- DO NOT suspend any fixture by the house wires. A fixture must always be mounted directly to an outlet box or a mounting strap attached to the outlet box. Wire connectors cannot support the weight of a fixture, and suspending it by wires could cause it to fall, leading to injury, electrical shock, or fire.
- To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, the provided wire connectors are designed for one 12-gauge house wire and two fixture lead wires. If your house wire is larger than 12-gauge or requires multiple connections, consult an electrician for appropriate wire connectors.
CAUTION
- TURN OFF ELECTRICITY at the main fuse box or circuit breaker box before beginning installation.
- If you are unsure about the lighting system's grounding means, DO NOT attempt installation. Contact a qualified, licensed electrician for proper grounding methods required by local electrical code.
- All fixtures must be mounted to an outlet box supported by the building structure.
- DO NOT use bulbs with a wattage greater than the maximum value stated on the fixture, as this will increase temperatures and the risk of fire.
- If using a dimmer control switch, obtain professional advice to determine the correct type and electrical rating required.
Preparation
Before beginning assembly, ensure all parts are present by comparing them with the package contents list and hardware contents list. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to assemble the product.

Assembly Instructions
-
Step 1: Turn off power.
Turn off circuit breakers and wall switch to the fixture supply line leads.
DANGER: Failure to disconnect power supply prior to installation may result in serious injury or death.
Diagram description: A circuit breaker box is shown with switches. The instruction is to turn all relevant switches to the 'OFF' position.
-
Step 2: Remove existing fixture.
Remove existing fixture and disconnect all electrical wiring.
Diagram description: An illustration shows an existing light fixture being detached from a wall or ceiling electrical box, with wires being disconnected.
-
Step 3: Remove mounting plate.
Remove mounting plate (B) from fixture (A) by removing mounting plate screws (C) from the edges of the fixture (A). Save mounting plate screws (C) for later use.
Diagram description: Fixture (A) is shown with mounting plate (B) attached. Screws (C) are being removed from the sides of fixture (A) to detach it from mounting plate (B).
-
Step 4: Attach mounting plate.
Attach mounting plate (B) to the outlet box (not included) using existing washers and outlet box screws or the machine screws (BB). If outlet box screws differ from machine screws (BB), consult a licensed electrician. Tighten machine screws (BB) to secure mounting plate (B).
CAUTION: The fixture must be mounted to an outlet box supported by the building structure. Plastic outlet boxes are not recommended.
Diagram description: Mounting plate (B) is shown being attached to an outlet box using machine screws (BB). An arrow indicates tightening the screws.
-
Step 5: Connect wiring.
Prepare fixture wires by stripping 3/4 inch of insulation from the ends. Connect the WHITE wire from the fixture to the WHITE wire from the outlet box using a wire connector (AA). Connect the BLACK wire from the fixture to the BLACK wire from the outlet box using a wire connector (AA). Connect the BARE/GREEN ground wire from the outlet box to the BARE ground wire from the fixture (A) using a wire connector (AA).
NOTE: Screw wire connectors (AA) on in a clockwise direction.
WARNING: Never connect ground wire to WHITE or BLACK power supply wires.
WARNING: Wire connectors (AA) are designed for one 12-gauge house wire and two fixture lead wires. Consult an electrician if your house wiring differs.
Diagram description: Fixture wires (BLACK, WHITE, BARE/GREEN) are shown being connected to corresponding outlet box wires using wire connectors (AA). Labels indicate wire colors and 'Outlet Box'.
-
Step 6: Secure wiring.
Wrap electrical tape around each wire connector (AA) down to the wire. Gently push wire connectors (AA) and excess wiring back into the outlet box.
WARNING: Ensure no bare wire or wire strands are visible after making connections.
Diagram description: Wire connectors (AA) with attached wires are shown being pushed into the outlet box. Electrical tape is indicated around the connectors.
-
Step 7: Attach fixture.
Attach fixture (A) to mounting plate (B) using the mounting plate screws (C) previously removed. Use a level to check fixture (A) before completely tightening screws (C) and adjust if necessary. The fixture can be installed with sockets facing either up or down.
Diagram description: Fixture (A) is shown being attached to mounting plate (B) using screws (C). An arrow indicates tightening the screws.
-
Step 8: Attach shades.
Remove socket ring (D) from the socket of fixture (A). Attach shade (E) to the socket, securing it with socket ring (D). Repeat for all remaining sockets.
WARNING: Do not overtighten socket ring (D), as the shade may crack or break.
Diagram description: A socket on fixture (A) is shown. A shade (E) is being placed onto the socket, and a socket ring (D) is being used to secure it.
-
Step 9: Install bulbs and test.
Install standard-base bulbs (not included). Use 60-watt maximum incandescent bulbs or CFL/LED equivalent.
WARNING: When replacing bulbs, allow bulbs and fixture to cool down before touching.
Restore power and test fixture (A). If lights do not function, refer to TROUBLESHOOTING.
