Safety Warnings
These instructions are for your safety. Please read through them thoroughly before use and retain them for future reference. If you are in any doubt about installing this product, consult a qualified electrician.
This product is only suitable for connection to a 220-240V~ 50Hz supply in accordance with current IEE wiring regulations, and should be installed in accordance with local building regulations. It is for domestic ceiling use only, and is not suitable for a bathroom location.
This is a Class l product and must be Earthed. The terminal blocks are supplied according to requirements of the fitting.
IMPORTANT: Always switch off the mains supply during installation or maintenance. We recommend that the fuse is withdrawn or the circuit breaker switched off at the distribution board whilst work is in progress (turning off the light switch is not sufficient). Connection should be via a wall switch to enable safe isolation.
The product must be securely fixed to the mounting surface using the screws and wall plugs supplied. The screws and wall plugs supplied are suitable for “masonry” only. Other fixings are not supplied and must be purchased.
Decide on the position of the light fitting or remove existing light fitting. Note the position of the electrical connections, and ensure there is a solid mounting surface, Preferably a wooden joist or joist bridge, to support the weight of the light fitting.
Take care not to drill into any pipes or mains cables beneath the surface during mounting holes preparation.
Never put anything on the product or hang anything on any part of this product.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that all electrical connections are tight and that no loose strands are left out of the terminal.
Never fit bulbs of a higher wattage than those specified on the label (as these may cause over heating and damage the fitting).
Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with your Local Authority or local store for recycling advice.
Care and maintenance
For bulb replacement, switch off the product (preferably, isolate it at the
distribution board) and allow it to cool down (Caution: bulb gets hot during
use).
Clean with a dry cloth only. Do not use liquid or abrasive cleaners on this
product.
Troubleshooting
When the bulb does not light after installation:
- Ensure there is no electricity failure.
- Ensure all the connections are secure.
If you have any doubt about installation/use of this product, consult a qualified electrician.
Assembly Instructions
-
Figure 1: First determine the desired drop of the chandelier. Remove any excess links using suitable chain pliers. The finish is easily scratched and care must be taken.
If the chain is long it is desirable to thread the cable through every 4th link to ensure it remains tidy. Finally thread the cable through the rod and into the ceiling cup. Double check the length of the fitting and trim the cable if necessary. Rewire the cable in to the insulation box. -
Using appropriate fixings attach the ceiling plate to the ceilling. Ensure that the hook is close enough to the mains supply cable that the ceiling rose will cover it. Ensure that you do not damage any cables or pipes while making the fixing.
-
Carefully lift the chandelier to the ceiling and hang with the fixing loop onto the hook.
-
Connect the house supply to the terminal block, according to the wiring diagram in Fig. 2 , ensuring that the terminal screws are tightened securely and that there are no stray wires. If there is more than one supply cable present, seek professional advice.
-
See Fig. 3. Carefully lift the ceiling cup into place. Ensure that all cables and the insulation box are housed in the ceiling cup without any cables being trapped. Secure with the set screw. Only tighten enough to hold the cup in place. Over tightening will damage the thread and render it useless.
-
See Fig. 4. Your chandelier is supplied with two sets of sleeves, the short sleeve enables the use of the shade ring to accommodate soft shades (sold separately) and the long sleeve is to be used with ‘bare bulbs’. These can easily be swapped by removing the Shade ring, unscrewing the candle drip from the fitting and replacing with the alternative candle drip.
-
If using a soft shade fit the shorter candle drips. Position the shade on the bulb holder and secure with the plastic shade ring.
-
Fit the bulbs. Do not fit a higher wattage or different shaped bulb from that mentioned on the bulb holder, as this could cause over-heating and damage the lamp.
-
Finally switch on the fitting to ensure it lights up.
