D Canopy 
E  Barrel Knobs (2)
Caution: Be sure power is off at the main breaker box prior to installation. 
1. Carefully unpack the fixture from the carton. 
2. Thread studs (C) through appropriate holes in cross bar (B) to match 
hole centers in canopy (D). Move ground screw (A) to another available 
threaded hole if necessary. 
3. Using two machine screws (not provided) fasten cross bar (B) to the 
electric box using outer oval holes to orient fixture to desired hanging 
position. 
Note: A new electric box comes with screws. When replacing an 
existing fixture, retain the screws for use with the new fixture.
4. Using suitable wire connectors (not provided); connect fixture wires to 
supply wires (white to white and black to black). Connect all ground 
wires to green ground screw (A). 
Caution: Make sure wire connectors are twisted on securely, and no bare wire is exposed. 
5. Slide fixture canopy (D) over threaded studs and push firmly to ceiling, making sure that no wires are pinched 
between fixture canopy and ceiling. Fasten with barrel knobs (E). Be sure studs (C) are fully seated in barrel 
knobs (E).

1. Install light bulb (G). Be careful not to touch 
bulb with bare hands; oil from the hands will 
dramatically reduce bulb life. 
2. Thread bulb shield (F) onto socket (H) (be 
careful not to over tighten). Future bulb changes 
may be accomplished by snapping glass portion 
of barrier on and off rather than unthreading the 
(Figure 2) 
holder.

3. Lift glass (K) and glass retainer (M) up to 
fixture assembly (I) aligning retainer tabs (L) 
with fixture slots (J).
