LNC A04970C5 Chandelier Installation and Safety Guide

Safety Warnings

⚠️ To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury:

• Installation by a licensed electrician is suggested.
• Read and save these instructions for future reference.
• Before starting, ensure electricity is shut off at the main fuse or circuit breaker box and the wall switch is in the "OFF" position.
• The mounting surface must be clean, dry, flat, and strong, extending at least 1/4 inch beyond the canopy on all sides. Correct any gaps exceeding 3/16 inch.
• Ensure the ceiling or wall can support the lamp's weight.
• Verify the voltage is 120V. The maximum wattage per bulb is 40W (Type B).
• Keep the lamp away from acidic and alkaline substances to prevent surface damage.
• When replacing bulbs, turn off or unplug the lamp and wait for it to cool down, as bulbs get hot quickly.
• These safety instructions are not exhaustive. Common sense, caution, and care are essential when using any electrical product.

Assembly & Installation Instructions

2. Pre-installation

Carefully remove the fixture from the carton and verify all parts and accessories are present as shown in the illustration.

Step A1: Stem Attachment

Screw stem (K) onto the top of the arm assembly (L).

Step A2: Chain Length Adjustment

Measure the chain (I) to determine the correct number of links for the desired hanging height. Use pliers to disconnect and remove any unwanted chain links.

Step A3: Chain and Loop Connection

Attach a quick link (H) to the chain (I) and the loop (J) on the top of the stem (K).

Step A4: Wire Routing Through Chain

Carefully weave the fixture wires through the chain (I), passing through every other link. Stop when you reach the top of the chain. Gently pull the wires to ensure they are not stressed.

3. Turn Off Power

Before commencing installation, ensure the electricity supply is turned off. Go to your home's main fuse or circuit breaker box and switch the main power to the "OFF" position. Also, ensure the wall switch controlling the fixture is in the "OFF" position.

4. Make Installation

Step B1: Mount Single Bar

Remove the collar ring (F) from the collar loop (G). Attach the single bar (C) to the outlet box using the mounting screws (B). Ensure the side of the single bar (C) marked "[Ground]" faces outwards.

Step B2: Position Canopy and Collar Loop

Raise the canopy (E) over the collar loop (G). Screw the collar ring (F) onto the collar loop (G) to measure the correct position for the canopy. The canopy (E) should fit snugly against the ceiling. The collar loop (G) must be screwed onto the pre-assembled threaded nipple with at least 6 threads for secure hanging. Adjust the collar loop (G) on the single bar assembly (C) by screwing it in or out until the secure length is achieved.

Step B3: Pass Chain Through Canopy

Pass the chain (I) through the collar ring (F) and then through the canopy (E).

Step B4: Connect Quick Link and Route Wires

Open a quick link (H) and attach it to the collar loop (G). Close the quick link (H). Pass the fixture wires through the collar loop (G) to the top of the pre-assembled threaded nipple. Gently pull the wires to ensure they are not stressed.

Step B5: Adjust Wire Length

If necessary, shorten the fixture wires. Ensure at least 6 inches of wire remain exposed above the single bar (C).

Step B6: Make Wire Connections

Connect the wires according to the provided chart and instructions:

• Ground Wires: Connect the bare copper ground wire from the fixture to the green ground screw on the outlet box or single bar.
• Supply Wires:
  • Connect the black or red supply wire from the power source to the black wire of the fixture.
  • Connect the white supply wire from the power source to the white wire of the fixture.
• Neutral Wire: Connect the neutral wire (often identified by a square or ridged surface on parallel cords, or by color like white or clear) to the corresponding neutral wire on the fixture.

Connection Procedure:

• Twist wires together securely using the provided plastic wire connectors.
• Wrap each connector with approved electrical tape.
• Ensure no wire strands are exposed.
• Carefully tuck all connected wires into the outlet box.

Note on Parallel Wires: When using parallel wires (SPT I & SPT II), the neutral wire is typically square-shaped or ridged, while the other wire is round or smooth.

Step B7: Secure Canopy

Raise the canopy (E) to the ceiling and secure it in place by tightening the collar ring (F) onto the collar loop (G).

Step B8: Install Glass Shades and Bulbs

1. Remove the socket rings (P) from the sockets (N).
2. Carefully place the glass shades (O) onto the sockets (N).
3. Secure the glass shades (O) by screwing the socket rings (P) back onto the sockets (N).
4. Install bulbs (not included). Do not exceed the maximum recommended wattage per socket (40W).

5. Final Check

Verify that all parts are installed correctly and securely. Once confirmed, you can turn on the light.

Ordering Parts

Keep this sheet for future reference. If replacement parts are needed, they can be ordered from the place of purchase. Use the exact wording from the illustration when ordering.

Cleaning

To clean the fixture, wipe it with a soft cloth. For glass components, use a mild cleaner, such as a mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid abrasive materials like scouring pads, powders, steel wool, or abrasive paper.
