Use and Care Guide

SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

• All electrical connections must be in agreement with local codes and ordinances, the National

Electric Code (NEC) and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. Contact your municipal building department to learn

about your local codes, permits and/or inspections. Risk of fire – most dwellings built before 1985

have supply wire rated for 140°F. Consult a qualified electrician before installation.

• To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fixture parts with

sharp edges.

• DO NOT suspend any fixture by the house wires. A fixture must always be mounted directly

to a mounting strap which is first attached to the outlet box. 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 personal injury and the danger of electrical shock or fire.

• To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this

light fixture are designed to accept only one 12-gauge house wire and two lead wires from the light

fixture. If your house wire is larger than 12-gauge or there is more than one house wire to connect

to the two fixture lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.

CAUTION

• TURN OFF ELECTRICITY at main fuse box (or circuit breaker box) before beginning installation

by removing the fuse (or switching the circuit breaker off).

• If you are not sure the lighting system has a grounding means, DO NOT attempt to install this

fixture. Contact a qualified, licensed electrician for information regarding the proper grounding

methods as required by the local electrical code in your area.

• All fixtures must be mounted to an outlet box that is supported by the building structure.

• DO NOT use bulbs having a wattage greater than the maximum value stated on the fixture. The

use of bulbs with higher wattage than specified will increase temperatures and risk of fire. Use

only bulbs that are approved for use in the base up position.

• If a dimmer control switch is used with this fixture, obtain professional advice to determine the

correct type to use as well as the electrical rating required.
