Cleaning Instructions
Your fixture is made from quality materials that will last for many, many years with minimum
care. You may want to periodically clean the diffuser, or interior of the fixture using a mild,
non-abrasive glass cleaner and soft cloth. Do
NOT
use solvents, or cleaners containing
abrasive agents. When cleaning the inside of the fixture, make sure you have the power
turned off, and do not spray liquid cleaner directly onto the bulb, socket, ballast, or wiring.

Bulb Replacement Instructions
Replacement Parts List
Attach a wire coupling (not included) by inserting the threaded
end (from outside the fixture) through the knock-out (
Fig. 9
).
Secure the wire coupling to the fixture's chassis by tightening
the fastener (from inside the fixture).
NOTE:
Remember to have
the wire coupling screws oriented in a manner that allows you
to tighten/loosen the clamp after the fixture has been attached
to the mounting surface.
Insert the flexible whip or NM cable through the wire coupling
and tighten the clamp until it is secure (
Fig. 10
). Allow enough
wire length to make the connection.
For safety and proper operation, your fixture must be properly
grounded. If you are unfamiliar with the methods of properly
grounding your fixture, consult a qualified electrician. A copper
ground wire is pre-attached to your fixture. If your electrical
box is made of plastic and/or has a green or has a bare copper
grounding wire inside, the fixture grounding wire and the
electrical box ground wire should be connected together using
one of the small wire nuts. If your fixture is being connected
using a flexible whip or NM cable the fixture grounding wire
and the electrical supply ground wire should be connected
together using one of the small wire nuts. If your electrical box
is made of metal and is already grounded, secure the bare end
of the fixture ground wire to the crossbar using the green
grounding screw on the crossbar. Connect the supply leads
from the electrical box to the fixture wire leads using the
medium sized wire nuts supplied in your installation hardware
kit as per the illustration. The black leads from the fixture go to
the black supply lead and the white leads from the fixture go to
the white supply lead (
Fig. 11
). Tighten the wire nuts properly to
prevent the wires from coming loose. Tape the wire nuts to the
wire using electrical tape (
Fig. 12
). Carefully push any excess
wiring back inside the electrical box (
Fig. 13
).

Remove the diffuser by pulling back and up on the top edge of
the diffuser using your fingertips (
Fig. 1
). When replacing a
defective bulb, use your thumbs to press and roll the bulb 90
degrees inside the socket. This will disengage the bulb contact
pins from the socket contacts. Then slide the bulb pins out of
the socket slot.
Install the bulb into the sockets by aligning the pins of the
bulb with the slot in the sockets (
Fig. 2
). Using your thumbs
and forefinger, press the metal ends of the bulb socket and
roll the bulb forward until it rotates 90 degrees inside the
socket, making contact between the bulb pins and the
socket contacts. Place the diffuser in the top lip. Push the
grooved edge of the diffuser down into the bottom edge
until it locks in. Restore power to the fixture.
Secure the fixture chassis cover by placing fingertips above
the locking tab on the face of the cover. Press on the cover
and lock the front edge under the locking tab (
Fig. 16
).
NOTE:
You may have to engage each one individually before
it can be secured.
Align the lip on both ends with the slots on the fixture chassis
then press on the cover and slip the edge
under the clips (
Fig. 14 & Fig. 15
).
Install the bulb into the sockets by aligning the
pins of the bulb with the slot in the sockets (
Fig.
17
). Using your thumb and forefinger, press the
metal ends of the bulb socket, and roll the bulb
forward until it rotates 90 degrees inside the
socket, making contact between the bulb pins
and the socket contacts (
Fig. 18
).
Place the diffuser in the top lip. Push the grooved edge of the
diffuser down into the bottom edge until it locks in (
Fig. 19
).
Your installation is now complete. Restore power to the
electrical box.
