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 qualied electrician or consult a do-it-yourself
wiring handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
2. WARNING: Risk of re -- most dwellings built before 1985 have supply wire rated for 60°F.
Consult a qualied 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 xture to an electrical system that does not provide a means for equipment
grounding. Never use a xture in a two-wire system that is not grounded.
5. WARNING: Installing a xture into an electrical system not having a proper grounding means
could allow all metal parts of the xture to carry electrical current if any of the xtures wires, wire
connections or splices become broken, cut, or loose. Anyone coming in contact with the xture 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
xture. Contact a qualied 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 xture ground wire to the black (HOT) current
carrying or white neutral house wire.
8. WARNING: Wire connectors will not support the weight of a xture. Suspending a xture by
the house wires and wire connectors will result in the xture falling, with the possibility of person
injury and the danger of electrical shock or re.
9. All xtures must be mounted to an outlet box that is supported by the building structure. DO
NOT attempt to support the xture by ceiling board alone. Ceiling board alone does not have the
strength to support the weight of the xture. The xture may fall and cause personal injury.
10. BE CAREFUL not to damage or cut the wire insulation (covering) during xture 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
xture. The use of a higher wattage lamp(s) than specied will increase temperatures and cause
risk of re.
12. If a dimmer control switch is used with this xture, obtain professional advice to determine the
correct type and electrical rating required.
