Preparing for Installation
Carefully remove all contents from the carton. Shut off the power at the circuit breaker and completely remove the old fixture from the ceiling, including the old mounting bracket. Remove the new mounting bracket assembly from the bag. Place the mounting plate (A) over the junction box so that the folded sides extend out away from the ceiling and the holes are to the left and right. Pull the house wires through the center of mounting plate (A). Secure mounting plate (A) to the junction box by tightening the screws (C).
Diagram Description: The fixture assembly includes a mounting plate (A), screws (C) for attaching the plate to the junction box, and screws (D) for securing the fixture. The grounding screw is labeled (B).
Connecting the Wires
Have a helper support the fixture's weight while completing the wiring. Attach the fixture's wires to the power supply wires from the junction box. Connect black to black (live); white to white (neutral); grounding to grounding (green or copper). Twist the ends of the wire pairs together. Then, twist on a wire connector. Make sure all twists are in the same direction. Loop fixture's ground wire around grounding screw (B) and tighten. If there is no ground wire (green or copper) from the junction box, contact a qualified electrician.
