Please read all instructions before you begin. The fixture should be installed
by a qualified electrician. Carefully inspect the fixture for damage.
Install the Mounting Plate
Carefully pull out the wiring from the electrical outlet box and allow the wires to hang down. Place the flat side of the mounting plate flat against the electrical outlet box. Align the slotted mounting holes on the mounting plate with the holes on the electrical outlet box. Securely tighten the mounting plate to the electrical outlet box with the mounting screws.
Assemble the Downrods and Canopy
Determine the height that you want the fixture to be located. Select a combination of different length downrods that will place the fixture at the desired height. Insert the electrical wires and ground wire through each of the downrods and then thread the downrods together. Thread one end of the downrods to the stem of the socket assembly. Insert the electrical wires through the coupling hook, coupling ring, and canopy.
Connect the Electrical Wires
Insert the wires from the socket through the center of the mounting plate. Attach the coupling hook onto the coupling that is preinstalled onto the mounting plate. Close the coupling hook. Make a loop in the ground wire and wrap around the grounding screw on the mounting plate. Tighten the grounding screw. Fasten the ground wires together with the provided wire nut and wrap the wire nut with electrical tape. Attach the neutral wire (with the grooves), from the fixture, to the neutral wire (usually white) in the electrical outlet box. Attach the hot wire (with the writing), from the fixture, to the hot wire (usually black) in the electrical outlet box.
Secure the Fixture
Verify that all plastic wire nuts are securely fastened and strands of bare wire are not exposed. Carefully position the wires inside the electrical outlet box behind the mounting plate. Position the canopy over the coupling. With the canopy flush against the ceiling, verify that there are threads showing. Secure the canopy to the coupling with the coupling ring.
Install the Shade
- Place the rubber washer on top of the socket. Slide the shade over the socket, ensuring it is aligned properly.
- Place a plastic washer on top of the shade, followed by a socket nut. Tighten the socket nut to secure the shade in place.
