PREPARATION
1.
Shut off the power at the circuit breaker and remove existing fixture, including the mounting hardware.
2.
Carefully unpack your new fixture and lay out all the parts on a clear area. Be careful not to lose any small parts necessary for installation.
MOUNTING THE FIXTURE (Fig. 1)
3.
Remove the mounting screw (F1) and gasket (G1) from the fixture.
4.
Drill a hole in the wall aligned with the key-hole located in the mounting plate, insert the plastic anchor (C1) to the wall.
5.
Secure the mounting plate to the junction box using junction box screws (B1). Fasten the mounting plate to the wall using the
wood screw (D1), the side of the mounting back plate marked “GND” must face out.
CONNECTING THE WIRES (Fig. 2)
6. Connect the fixture wires to junction box wires as shown in Fig. 2, making sure that all wire connectors (A1) are secured. If your outlet box
has a green or bare copper ground wire, connect the fixture’s ground wire to it. Otherwise, connect the fixture’s ground wire directly to the
back plate using the green screw provided. After wires are connected, tuck them carefully inside the junction box.
MOUNTING THE FIXTURE (Fig. 1)
7. Secure the metal frame to fixture
back plate with set screw (E1).
8. Place the fixture on the mounting plate,
and secure it with mounting screw (F1)
and gasket (G1).
9. To prevent moisture from entering the
outlet box and causing a short, use clear
caulking (i.e. indoor/outdoor silicone sealant)
to outline the outside of fixture back plate
where it meets the wall. Leave a space at the
bottom to allow moisture to escape Fig. 3.
