SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the
product. Failure to do so could lead to electrical shock, fire or other injuries that could be hazardous
or even fatal.
•
Before you begin installing the light fixture, disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off
the circuit breakers.
• The net weight of the light kit is 2.64 lb.
•
This fixture is intended for indoor or damp locations. It is not suitable for outdoor locations.
DANGER
:
•
DO NOT connect this fixture to an electrical system that does not provide a means for equipment
grounding. Never use a fixture in a two-wire system that is not grounded. Installing a fixture into
an electrical system not having a proper grounding means could cause metal parts of the fixture
to carry electrical currents if any of the fixture wires, wire connections or splices were to become
broken, cut or loose during the mounting or normal operation of the fixture. Under this condition,
anyone coming in contact with the fixture would be subject to electrical shock, which could cause
serious injury or death.
•
DO NOT connect the bare or green insulation fixture ground wire to the black (hot) current-carrying
wire or the white neutral house wire. Connection of the bare or green fixture ground wire to the
black or white house wires may cause metal parts of the fixture to carry electrical currents. Under
this condition anyone coming in contact with the fixture will receive electrical shock, which could
cause serious injury or death.
•
DO NOT damage or cut the wire insulation (covering) during installation of the fixture. DO NOT
permit wires to contact any surface having a sharp edge. To do so may damage or cut the wire
insulation, which could cause serious injury or death from electrical shock.
WARNING:
• All electrical connections must be in agreement with local codes and ordinances, the National
Electric Code (NEC) and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. Contact your municipal building department to learn
about your local codes, permits and/or inspections. Risk of fire - most dwellings built before 1985
have supply wire rated for 140°F. Consult a qualified electrician before installation.
•
To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fixture parts with sharp
edges.
•
DO NOT suspend any fixture by the house wires. A fixture must always be mounted directly to an
outlet box. Wire connectors will not support the weight of a fixture. Suspending a fixture by the
house wires and wire connectors will result in the fixture falling, with the possibility of personal
injury and the danger of electrical shock or fire.
•
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, each wire connector used with this
fixture should accept only one 18-gauge wire from the light fixture and one 18-gauge wire from the
outlet box. If there are three or more wires to connect or any of the wires is larger than 18 gauges,
consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.
