Before starting the installation, ensure the power is shut off at the fuse box or circuit breaker box. This fixture is designed for standard junction boxes. Do not exceed the maximum wattage rating of 100 watts per bulb.
Preparation
- Shut off power at the fuse box or circuit breaker.
- Remove the old fixture and mounting hardware.
- Unpack the new fixture and organize all parts in a clean area to avoid losing small components.
Assembly

- Place the metal cover (E) over the all-thread (G).
- Determine the desired hanging height and thread the rods (F1, F2, F3) onto the all-thread (G).
- Attach the canopy (C) by screwing it onto rod (F1). Ensure wires are passed through each rod during assembly.
- Attach the mounting plate (A) to the junction box using the provided mounting screws (B). Ensure the side marked with "GND" and the two convex points face outward.
- Use the support cable (R) to hold the fixture's weight while wiring. Attach the hook (Q) to the slot on the mounting plate (A).
Wiring
Connect the electrical wires as follows:

- Black or Smooth fixture wire: Connect to the Black (Hot) house wire.
- White or Ribbed fixture wire: Connect to the White (Neutral) house wire.
- Bare Copper fixture wire: Connect to the Green (Ground) house wire or directly to the mounting plate using the provided green screw.
Ensure all wire connectors are secure and tuck them neatly into the junction box.
Final Installation
- Place the canopy (C) over the mounting plate (A) and secure it with screws (D).
- Thread the all-thread (K) into the coupling (H) and tighten with the hex nut (J).
- Install four medium base bulbs (up to 100W each, or CFL/LED equivalent).
- Place the glass shade (L), plastic washer (M), and metal plate (N) through the all-thread (K) and secure with the hex nut (J).
- Screw the finial (P) into the all-thread (K) until tight.
Once complete, restore power to the junction box and test the fixture.
