Attach the end caps or connectors (2x) to the main bar. The diagram shows these being screwed into place using a screwdriver.
Step 2: Prepare Mounting Bracket
Cut a mounting bracket or support piece to a length of 920 mm (approximately 36.2 inches). The diagram shows a piece being cut with scissors.
Step 3: Secure Ceiling Mount
Attach the ceiling mounting plate to the ceiling using appropriate fixings. The diagram shows two screws securing the plate, indicating it's mounted to a surface.
Step 4: Mount Main Bar
Connect the main bar assembly to the ceiling mounting plate. The diagram shows the bar being lifted [⬆️] and attached to the plate, likely via the suspension hook.
Step 5 & 6: Initial Wiring Setup
The diagrams illustrate the initial routing of the suspension wires and the main power cable through the ceiling canopy, preparing for electrical connections.
Step 7: Identify Wires
Understand the wire connections:
- Live/Phase/Con corriente: Typically black or brown wire.
- Neutral/Neutre/Neutro: Typically blue or white wire.
- Earth/Terre/Tierra: Typically green/yellow or bare wire.
Step 8 & 9: Connect Wiring
Connect the wires from the ceiling to the corresponding wires on the fixture. The diagrams show the wires being fed through a connector block and secured, with a circular arrow indicating a connection or securing action.
Step 10: Attach Lampshades
Carefully attach each lampshade to its socket on the main bar. Ensure they are properly seated. CAUTION: Do not overtighten.
Step 11: Secure Suspension Cables
Use the provided clips (2x) to secure the suspension cables neatly along the main bar or to the ceiling mount, as shown in the diagram.
Step 12: Install Light Bulbs
Install the light bulbs into the sockets. IMPORTANT: Use only GU10 LED bulbs. Do not use GU10 Halogen bulbs.
Step 13: Final Check
