PREPARATION
-
Shut off the power at the circuit breaker and remove existing fixture, including the mounting hardware.
-
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 (C) and gasket (D) from the mounting back plate.
4. Secure the mounting back plate to the junction box using junction box screws (B). The side of the mounting back plate marked
“GND” must face out.
5. Remove the flat screw (E) and the square column together. Insert the glass into the fixture vertically and carefully, and secure them with
square column using flat screws (E).
CONNECTING THE WIRES (FIG. 2)
6. Connect the fixture’s wires to junction box wires as shown in
Fig. 2
, making sure that all wire connectors (A) 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.
COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION (FIG. 1)
7. Secure the fixture to the mounting back plate using the mounting screw (C) and gasket (D).
8. 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
