SAFETY INFORMATION

Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install
the product.
1. Make sure that all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, the National
Electrical Code and ANSI/NFPA 70-199. Hire a qualified electrician or consult a do-it-yourself
wiring handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
2. WARNING: Risk of fire -- most dwellings built before 1985 have supply wire rated for 60°F.
Consult a qualified electrician before installation.
3. TURN OFF ELECTRICITY at main fuse box (or circuit breaker box) before beginning installation
by switching circuit breaker off or removing fuse.
4. 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.
5. WARNING: Installing a fixture into an electrical system not having a proper grounding means
could allow all metal parts of the fixture to carry electrical current if any of the fixtures wires, wire
connections or splices become broken, cut, or loose. Anyone coming in contact with the fixture is
subject to electrical shock, which could cause serious injury or death.
6. If you are not sure your lighting system has a grounding means, DO NOT attempt to install this
fixture. Contact a qualified licensed electrician for information with regards to proper grounding
methods as required by the local electrical code in your area.
7. DO NOT connect the bare or green insulation fixture ground wire to the black (HOT) current
carrying or white neutral house wire.
8. WARNING: 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 person
injury and the danger of electrical shock or fire.
9. All fixtures must be mounted to an outlet box that is supported by the building structure. DO
NOT attempt to support the fixture by ceiling board alone. Ceiling board alone does not have the
strength to support the weight of the fixture. The fixture may fall and cause personal injury.
10. BE CAREFUL not to damage or cut the wire insulation (covering) during fixture installation. 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.
11. DO NOT use lamps (bulbs) having a wattage greater than the maximum value stated on the
fixture. The use of a higher wattage lamp(s) than specified will increase temperatures and cause
risk of fire.
12. If a dimmer control switch is used with this fixture, obtain professional advice to determine the
correct type and electrical rating required.
