Quick guide from the manual
This document provides the necessary steps to safely install the Minka Lavery 5282-788 wall sconce. Before beginning, ensure you have turned off the power at the fuse box or circuit breaker. The installation requires a junction box (not provided) and basic tools.
Installation steps
Follow these steps to mount and connect your fixture:
- Preparation: Turn off the power supply. Unpack the fixture and organize all parts. Remove the mounting plate (A) from the back plate (C) by unscrewing the side screws (D).
- Mounting: Attach the mounting plate (A) to your junction box (JB) using the provided 8-32 screws (B) or existing screws. Ensure the threaded holes are positioned at the top and bottom. The side of the mounting plate marked with GND and two convex points must face outward.
- Wiring: Connect the fixture wires to the house wires as shown in the wiring diagram:
- Connect the fixture's ground wire to the junction box ground wire (green or bare copper). If no ground wire is present, connect the fixture ground wire directly to the mounting plate (A) using the provided green screw.
- Connect the fixture's black wire to the house's black (hot) wire.
- Connect the fixture's white wire to the house's white (neutral) wire.
- Secure all connections with wire connectors and tuck them neatly into the junction box.
- Finishing: Place the back plate (E) over the mounting plate (A), aligning the holes. Secure it using the screws (D) removed earlier.
- Accessories and Bulbs: Slide the crystal bobeche (cb) over the candle sleeve (cs). Repeat for all crystals. Install two E12 base light bulbs (up to 60 watts each).
Technical specifications
Ensure you adhere to the following requirements for safe operation:
- Bulb Type: E12 base (CFL, LED, or incandescent).
- Maximum Wattage: Do not exceed 60 watts per bulb.
