PREPARATION
1. Shut off the power at the circuit breaker and remove existing
fixture, including the crossbar.
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. Secure mounting backplate (DD) to the junction box (FF)
using junction box screws (BB). The side of the mounting
backplate marked “GND” (EE) must face out.
CONNECTING THE WIRES (Fig. 2)
4. Connect the electrical wires as shown in Fig. 2, making sure
that all wire connectors (AA) 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 backplate (DD) using the green screw (EE)
provided. After wires are connected, tuck them carefully
inside the junction box.
5. Place the fixture over the mounting backplate (DD) and
secure with screws (CC) and gasket (GG).

COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION (Fig. 3)
6. 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 backplate where it meets the wall
leaving a space at bottom to allow moisture a
means to escape (Fig. 3).
