All electrical connections must be made in accordance with the National Electric code and local codes and ordinances.
If you are uncertain of the methods of installing electrical wiring and lighting fixtures secure the services of a qualified licensed electrician.

NOTE: The important safeguards and instructions outlined on this sheet are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may
occur. It must be understood that common sense, caution and care are factors that cannot be built into any product.
Caution and care must be supplied by the person(s) installing, operating and maintaining this lighting fixture.

INSTALLATION PREPARATION
IMPORTANT! This fixture is designed to be installed ONLY on a switch or receptacle box.

1. TURN OFF THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT TO WHICH THE LIGHTING FIXTURE IS TO BE ATTACHED.
Move the appropriate circuit breaker to the “off position or completely remove the fuse controlling the circuit.

2. If an existing fixture is being replaced, remove it and note to which of the wires in the outlet box the fixture was attached.

DO NOT SEPARATE ANY OTHER WIRES THAT MAY BE IN THE BOX. DO NOT DAMAGE THE INSULATION OF OLDER WIRING.

In regular circumstances the BLACK wire will be the “Hot” lead and the WHITE wire will be the “Neutral” or “Common” lead.

A GREEN or BARE COPPER wire is the “Ground”. In older buildings it is always good practice to reconfirm the polarity of the wiring.

FIXTURE INSTALLATION

1. Remove the fixture, shade and parts bag(s) from the carton.
Before discarding the carton, double check packing to make certain that all parts are found.

2.
Remove the mounting plate from the fixture.

3. Pull the wires in the outlet box through the center hole of the mounting plate.
Attach the mounting plate to the outlet box.

6. Fasten the white fixture wire to the white wire in the outlet box.
Fasten the wires to together with an approved fastener (wire nut).

could cause a dangerous short circuit!

in the outlet box. Fasten the joined wires as in step 6.
