WS-W1911, W1915, W1917
PREPARATION
1. Shut o the power at the circuit breaker and remove existing
xture, including the mounting hardware.
2. Carefully unpack your new xture and lay out
all the parts on a clear area. Be careful not to lose
any small parts necessary for installation.
MOUNTING THE FIXTURE (FIG.1)
3. Secure mounting backplate (D1) to the junction box
(F1) using junction box screws (B1). The side of the
mounting backplate marked “GND” (E1) must face out.
CONNECTING THE WIRES (FIG.2)
4. Connect the electrical wires as shown in Fig. 2, making sure
that all wire connectors (A1) are secured. If your outlet box
has a ground wire, connect it to the xture’s ground wire.
Otherwise, connect the xture’s ground wire directly to the
backplate (D1) using the green screw (E1) provided.
Tuck wires carefully inside the junction box.
5. Place the xture over the mounting backplate (D1) and
secure with screws (C1). Twist the glass (G1) into the xture.
COMPLETING INSTALLATION (FIG.3)
6. To prevent moisture from entering the outlet box and
causing a short, use clear caulking (i.e. indoor/outdoor
silicone sealant) to outline the outside of xture back plate
where it meets the wall. Leave a space at bottom to allow
moisture to escape (Fig. 3).
