Installation Steps

1. Hold mounting bracket (A) so the two holes along its edge are on the left and right, with the attached ground screw facing outward.
2. Carefully pull house wires through the round hole in mounting bracket (A). Align the bracket's holes with the junction box holes.
3. Thread junction box screws (B) into the holes of mounting bracket (A) and the junction box. Tighten screws (B) to secure the bracket. CAUTION: Ensure house wires are pulled completely through the bracket's hole. DO NOT pinch wires between the mounting bracket and wall.
4. Strip 3/4" of insulation from the ends of the fixture wires.
5. Slightly loosen the ground screw on mounting bracket (A); do not remove it completely. Wrap the house ground wire (copper) around the ground screw, leaving enough wire to attach to the fixture ground wire. Twist the end of the fixture ground wire and the end of the house ground wire together. Twist a wire nut (C) onto the ends of the wires and tighten completely. Refer to the wire connection chart for correct connections.
   Diagram shows house ground wire (copper) wrapped around ground screw (A) on mounting bracket, connected to fixture ground wire with wire nut (C).

   Connect Supply (House) Ground Copper Wire to:
   Bare Copper Wire or,
   Bare Silver Wire or,
   Green Insulated Wire.

6. Twist the house lead wire (black) and the fixture lead wire together. Twist a wire nut (C) onto the ends and tighten completely. Twist the house neutral wire (white) and the fixture neutral wire together. Twist a wire nut (C) onto the ends and tighten completely. Refer to the chart for correct wire connections.
   Diagram illustrates wire connections: Fixture lead wire to House lead wire (black), Fixture neutral wire to House neutral wire (white), Fixture ground wire to House ground wire (copper), all secured with wire nuts (C).

   Connect Black Lead Supply (House) Wire to:	Connect White Neutral Supply (House) Wire to:
   Black Wire or, *Parallel Cord (Round and Smooth) or, No printed words on wire insulation or, Insulated Wire (other than green) with Copper Conductor.	White Wire or, *Parallel Cord (Square and Ridged) or, Printed words on wire insulation or, Insulated Wire (other than green) with Silver Conductor.

   *When parallel wire (SPT 1 & SPT 2) is used: The lead wire is round in shape or smooth. The neutral wire is square in shape or ridged.

7. Wrap electrical tape (not included) around wire nuts (C) and wires. Ensure wires are securely fastened into wire nuts.
8. Carefully push all wires and wire nuts into the junction box.
9. Place backplate (D) over mounting bracket (A). CAUTION: Do not pinch wires between the backplate and wall.
   Diagram shows backplate (D) being placed over mounting bracket (A).
10. Align holes in each side of backplate (D) with holes along the edge of mounting bracket (A). Thread fixture mounting screws (E) into the holes in backplate (D) and mounting bracket (A). Tighten screws (E) to secure the fixture to the wall.
    Diagram shows alignment of backplate (D) holes with mounting bracket (A) holes and insertion of fixture mounting screws (E).
11. Slip the hole in ring (N) over the socket. Pass the hole in the top of the shade (K) over the socket.
    Diagram shows ring (N) and shade (K) being placed over the socket.
12. Slip spacer (M) over the socket. Thread socket ring (L) onto the socket. Tighten socket ring (L) to secure shade (K) in place. DO NOT overtighten.
    Diagram shows spacer (M) and socket ring (L) being used to secure the shade (K) to the socket.
13. Screw recommended bulbs (E26 Edison bulb type, not included) into the sockets. Verify the correct bulb wattage marked on the socket. WARNING: DO NOT exceed the maximum bulb wattage.
