Assembly Instructions

Never install your appliance on a wet, freshly painted or plastered surface. Ensure the house electricity supply is switched off at the fuse box. If removing an existing fitting, note down all wiring connections. Check the fixings will not touch any existing wiring before drilling and attaching the light to the ceiling. Ensure you thread the ceiling wires through the black insulating tube fixed to the appliance.

1. Ensure the house electricity supply is off at the fuse board.
2. If removing an existing fitting, first note down all wiring connections.
3. Remove mounting bracket from fitting by removing the retaining screws and washers; retain these for later.
4. Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark and then drill the fixing holes in the ceiling (ensure holes are drilled into a secure joist). Take care not to damage wiring.
5. Attach mounting bracket to the mounting surface using suitable fixings. Do not attach the fitting to the mounting bracket at this stage. Make sure no wires are trapped in the process.
6. This fitting is height adjustable at the point of installation only. Adjustment must not be made once it has been attached to the ceiling. If adjustment is required later, the fitting must be isolated from the mains and removed from the ceiling first. Using two pairs of pliers, carefully open the chain links and remove the required number of links. Close the links. Note: Use cloth between the jaws of the pliers to protect the decorative finish. Pull any excess cable through the ceiling cup. IMPORTANT: Ensure the chain is supporting the weight of the fitting and not the electrical cable.
7. Screw the top hanging ring stem into the main stem rising from the lamp holder section and tighten until fully secured.
8. Attach the bottom chain link to the top ring of the chandelier. This is performed by unscrewing the side of the link until it opens, placing it over the top ring, and retightening to close the link again.
9. Lever open the terminal block box cover with a screwdriver, then feed the supply cable through the rubber sleeving. The weight of the fitting must be supported whilst making the electrical connections as follows:
   • Connect supply live (normally brown or red) to fitting live (marked “L”) on the terminal block.
   • Connect supply neutral (normally blue or black) to fitting neutral (marked “N”) on the terminal block.
   NO EARTH must be connected to any part of this fitting. If there are any earth wires present in the ceiling, these must be terminated into a separate terminal block (not supplied) to ensure continuity of the earth circuit is maintained. NOTE: Ensure electrical connections are tight and no loose strands of wire are left out of the connector block. Ensure terminals and rubber sleeve are correctly seated, then close the connector block housing.
10. Excess cable must be carefully located inside the ceiling cup or within the ceiling void. Carefully offer the fitting over the mounting bracket, then secure in place with the screws and washers removed earlier.
11. Fit the bulb, type and wattage as displayed on the fitting. The stated wattage must not be exceeded.

Once installation is complete, the house electricity may be restored at the fuse box.
