SAFETY INFORMATION

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

DANGER

• For your protection and safety, carefully read and understand the information provided in this manual completely before attempting to assemble, install or operate this product. Failure to do so could lead to fire, electrical shock or other injuries that could be hazardous or even fatal.
• If using these light fixtures in a WET location, these light fixtures must be connected to a supply circuit that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce the risk of personal injury, electrical shock or death.
• DO NOT connect this fixture to an electrical system that does not provide a means for equipment grounding. Never use a fixture in a two-wire system that is not grounded. Installing a fixture into an electrical system not having a proper grounding means could cause metal parts of the fixture to carry electrical currents if any of the fixture wires, wire connections or splices were to become broken, cut or loose during the mounting or normal operation of the fixture. Under this condition, anyone coming in contact with the fixture would be subject to electrical shock, which could cause serious injury or death.
• DO NOT connect the bare or green insulation fixture ground wire to the black (HOT) current-carrying wire or the white (NEUTRAL) house wire. Connection of the bare or green fixture ground wire to the black or white house wires may cause metal parts of the fixture to carry electrical currents. Under this condition, anyone coming in contact with the fixture will receive electrical shock, which could cause serious injury or death.
• DO NOT damage or cut the wire insulation (covering) during installation of fixture. DO NOT permit wires to contact any surface having a sharp edge. To do so may damage or cut the wire insulation, which could cause serious injury or death from electrical shock.

WARNING

• THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE INSTALLATION CODE BY A PERSON FAMILIAR WITH THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF THE PRODUCT AND THE HAZARDS INVOLVED.
• To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fixture parts with sharp edges.

WARNING

• All electrical connections must be in agreement with local codes and ordinances, the National Electric Code (NEC) and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. Contact your municipal building department to learn about your local codes, permits and/or inspections. Risk of fire – most dwellings built before 1985 have supply wire rated for 140 °F. Consult a qualified electrician before installation.
• DO NOT suspend any fixture by the house wires. A fixture must always be mounted directly to a mounting plate that is first attached to the outlet box. All fixtures must be mounted to an outlet box that is supported by the building structure. Wire connectors will not support the weight of a fixture. Suspending a fixture by the house wires and wire connectors will result in the fixture falling, with the possibility of personal injury and the danger of electrical shock or fire.
• To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this light fixture are designed to accept only one 12-gauge house wire and two lead wires from the light fixture. If your house wire is larger than 12-gauge or there is more than one house wire to connect to the corresponding fixture lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.
• To reduce the risk of damage to the fixture, DO NOT use power tools to assemble any part of the fixture.
• Failure to caulk fixture mounting surface with silicone weather sealant may result in water damage in outlet box, which may cause electrical malfunction or electrical shock.
• To avoid water damage to fixture or possible electrical malfunction, install fixture at least 4 ft. above the ground/floor.

CAUTION

• TURN OFF ELECTRICITY at main fuse box (or circuit breaker box) before beginning installation by removing the fuse (or switching the circuit breaker off).
• If you are not sure the lighting system has a grounding means, DO NOT attempt to install these fixtures. Contact a qualified, licensed electrician for information regarding the proper grounding methods as required by the local electrical code in your area.
• All fixtures must be mounted to an outlet box that is supported by the building structure.
• DO NOT use bulbs having a wattage greater than the maximum value stated on the fixture. The use of bulbs with higher wattage than specified will increase temperatures and risk of fire.
• If a dimmer control switch is used with these fixtures, obtain professional advice to determine the correct type to use as well as the electrical rating required.

   Use level (not included) to make sure screws (C) are level horizontally. This will help ensure the fixture (A) is level when attached. Tighten machine screws (BB) completely to secure mounting plate (B).
   CAUTION: The fixture must be mounted to an outlet box that is supported by the building structure and can support the weight of the fixture. Plastic outlet boxes are not recommended. Hardware Used

5. Temporarily place fixture (A) over mounting plate (B) to determine amount of adjustment necessary for screws (C).
   NOTE: Screws (C) should come through holes in fixture (A) just enough so decorative nuts (D) fit flush against fixture (A) when mounted. Once screws (C) are adjusted, use pliers (not included) to tighten nuts (G) on screws (C) securely against mounting plate (B).
   Set fixture (A) aside.

6. a. Prepare wire by stripping 3/4 in. of insulation from wire ends using wire strippers (not included).
