Installation Steps
- Mounting Bracket: Hold the mounting bracket (A) so the two holes are on the left and right, with the ground screw facing outward. Pull house wires through the center hole and align the bracket holes with the junction box. Secure the bracket using the junction box screws (B). Ensure wires are not pinched.

Connect the house lead wire (black) to the fixture lead wire, and the house neutral wire (white) to the fixture neutral wire using wire nuts (C). Wrap wire nuts with electrical tape for extra security.
