Installation

1. Preparing the bracket plate
Unscrew the four support screws (short) from the bracket plate. Remove the bracket plate from the fixture body and keep the screws for later use.
2. Installing the bracket plate
Fasten the bracket plate onto the outlet box using the two provided long outlet box screws.
3. Making the electrical connections
Strip 3/4 inch of insulation from the wire ends. Connect the black wire from the fixture body to the black wire from the outlet box. Connect the white wire from the fixture body to the white wire from the outlet box. The bare copper ground wire from the fixture must loop one turn under the head of the green ground screw on the bracket plate before connecting to the supply circuit ground. Secure all connections with wire connectors and tape, then position wires inside the outlet box.

4. Attaching the fixture body
Place the fixture body against the outlet box, align the four holes of the bracket plate and fixture body, then tighten the support screws.

5. Installing the glass shade
Place the glass shade over the socket, align the three holes of the glass shade and the cap of the fixture body, then secure the glass shade with the thumbscrews.

6. Installing the light bulb
Install the bulb into the socket. Use one Max 60W medium base (E26) type ST64 or type A bulb, or one 9W medium base (E26) self-ballasted LED bulb. Do not exceed the recommended wattage.
Care and cleaning
Do not use chemicals, solvents, or harsh abrasives. Use only a dry, soft cloth to dust or wipe the fixture carefully. To clean, disconnect power by turning off the circuit breaker or removing the fuse.
Troubleshooting
If the lights will not turn on, check if the bulb is burned out, ensure the power supply is on, test the switch, or check the wiring connections. If the fuse blows or the circuit breaker trips, discontinue use and check for crossed wires or grounding issues. Contact a qualified electrician or Hampton Bay Customer Service at 1-855-HD-HAMPTON for further assistance.
