GENERAL
1. To ensure successful installation, the following instructions and diagram(s) should
be read and understood.
2. All electrical connections must be made in accordance with the National Electric
code and local codes and ordinances. If you are uncertain how to install electrical
wiring and lighting fixtures, secure the services of a qualified licensed electrician.
TOOLS NEEDED
Blade screwdriver, phillips screwdriver, slip joint pliers or small adjustable wrench,
wire cutter/stripper, electrical current tester, stepladder and electrical tape.
INSTALLATION PREPARATION
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
i
n 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.
3. This fixture is designed to be mounted on a standard r
ound or octagon box. The
box must be securely mounted to the structure of the building.
FIXTURE INSTALLATION
1. Remove the fixture, shades and parts bag(s) from the carton. Before discarding
the carton, double-check packing to make certain that all parts ar
e found.
2. Remove the 3 mounting screws holding the mounting plate to 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.
(The green ground screw should face out.)
Align the mounting plate so the top screw hole is exactly at the top.
4. Fasten the green fixture wire to the green or bare copper wire in the box or
fasten it to the mounting plate with green screw provided.
NEVER FASTEN THE GROUND WIRE TO THE BLACK OR “HOT” WIRE!
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH!
5. Fasten the white fixture wire to the white wire in the outlet box. Fasten the wires
together with an approved fastener (wire nut). Starting about 1” below the fastener,
tightly wrap connection with electrical tape so that the tape seals the end of the
fastener. Make sure that there is no exposed wire or strands that could
cause a dangerous short circuit !
6. Connect the black fixture wires to the black wire in the outlet box.
Fasten the joined wires as in step 5.
7. Place the fixture over the mounting plate and fasten it in place with the 3
mounting screws.
8. Place the glass on socket cup, then fasten by socket ring
(may need attached tool).
9. Place the decorative rings onto the the glass, the big one on the bottom, the small
one on the top.
10. Install the lamp (light bulb). NOTE: This fixture is rated for 75 watt type A
lamp(s). DO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED WATTAGE!
11. Restore power to circuit at breaker or fuse box.
