All installation work must be performed by an accredited professional. Before starting, ensure the power supply is shut off at the fuse or circuit breaker. Use only the specified bulbs and do not exceed the maximum wattage recommended for the fixture.
Lighting Placement Guidelines
To ensure optimal lighting in your space, follow these general placement recommendations:
- Kitchen Islands: Center a linear pendant over the island. If using hanging pendants, use one for every 24 inches of island length. Fixtures should hang at least 30 inches above the countertop.
- Dining Room Tables: Fixtures should hang at least 30 inches above the table. Use a fixture that is 12 inches narrower than the width of the table.
- Open Areas: The bottom of the fixture should hang at least 7.5 feet from the floor. Ensure there is clearance for any opening doors.
Preparing for Installation
Carefully remove the fixture from the carton and locate the parts bag. Remove the old fixture from the wall, including the old mounting strap.

- Take the mounting strap (A) assembly from the parts bag.
- Attach one end of the nipple (D) to the mounting strap (A) using the washer (B) and hex nut (C).
- Use a screwdriver and mounting screws (F) to attach the mounting strap (A) to the junction box.
- Ensure about half of the exterior threads of the nipple (D) are exposed to allow the finial (H) to fit snugly.
- Test the fit with the ceiling pan (G), then remove the ceiling pan and set it aside.
Wiring the Fixture
Have an assistant support the weight of the fixture while you complete the wiring. Refer to the wiring diagram to connect the fixture wires to the house power supply wires:

- Hot: Connect to the smooth, black, or transparent wire with a black inner thread.
- Neutral: Connect to the ribbed, white, or transparent wire with a white inner thread.
- Ground: Connect to the copper, bare metal, green, or transparent wire with a green inner thread.
Twist the ends of the wire pairs together and secure with a wire connector. Ensure all twists are in the same direction. If there is no house ground wire, locate the ground screw (E) on the mounting bracket and wrap the fixture's ground wire around it, then tighten.
Finishing the Installation
- Raise the ceiling pan (G) up to the mounting strap (A), aligning the nipple (D) so it protrudes through the center hole.
- Secure the ceiling pan (G) by threading the finial (H) onto the exposed threads of the nipple (D).
- Adjust the fixture until the shade hangs straight.
- Install light bulbs (not provided) that meet the fixture's specifications into the sockets (J).
- Turn on the power and test the fixture.
