SAFETY INFORMATION

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

DANGER

• For your protection and safety, carefully read and understand the information provided in this manual

completely before attempting to assemble, install or operate this product. Failure to do so could lead to fire, electrical shock or other injuries that could be hazardous or even fatal.

• 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. Installing a fixture into an electrical system not having a proper grounding means could cause metal parts of the fixture to carry electrical currents if any of the fixture wires, wire connections or splices were to become broken, cut or loose during the mounting or normal operation of the fixture. Under this condition, anyone coming in contact with the fixture would be subject to electrical shock, which could cause serious injury or death.

SAFETY INFORMATION

• DO NOT connect the bare or green insulation fixture ground wire to the black (HOT) current-carrying

wire or the white (NEUTRAL) house wire. Connection of the bare or green fixture ground wire to the black or white house wires may cause metal parts of the fixture to carry electrical currents. Under this condition anyone coming in contact with the fixture will receive electrical shock, which could cause serious injury or death.

• DO NOT damage or cut the wire insulation (covering) during installation of fixture. 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.

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 an

outlet box or to a mounting plate 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

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

• Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

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.

• 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.

• Do NOT tamper with or attempt to repair LED component of fixture. The light source is designed for

this specific application and should not be serviced by untrained personnel. If any servicing is required, call our customer service department.
