[OJohn]

To hardwire your FEIT Electric 5CCTCAG3 Flat Panel Under Cabinet Light, follow these steps for a safe and successful installation:

1. Safety First: Turn Off the Power: Begin by turning off the power to the circuit at your breaker panel. This is a crucial safety step to prevent electrical shock.
2. Fixture Placement: Determine the exact location for your LED light fixture. Use the provided mounting bracket template (DD) to mark the spot precisely.
3. Mounting the Brackets: Securely attach the mounting brackets (II) to your marked locations. Ensure they are level and properly aligned.
4. Prepare the Hardwire Bracket: Remove the screws securing the hardwire bracket, then slide the bracket off the fixture.
5. Knock-out Removal: Carefully remove the knock-out from the fixture using a flathead screwdriver. This creates an entry point for your wiring.
6. Install Clamp Connector: Attach the Clamp Connector (HH) to the knock-out hole. Insert it from the inside and secure it with the nut, ensuring the clamp is on the outside of the bracket.
7. Prepare the Fixture Wires: Locate the black and white 18 AWG wires within the fixture. Cut and strip these wires to a length appropriate for making connections.
8. Connect the Power Supply: Feed the power supply wires through the Clamp Connector and into the fixture. Using the provided wire nuts, connect the 120V line (black) wire to the black fixture wire, the neutral (white) wire to the white fixture wire, and the ground (green or bare copper) wire to the green fixture wire.
9. Reattach the Wiring Bracket: Neatly arrange the connected wires inside the fixture. Reinstall the hardwire bracket by sliding it back onto the fixture and securing it with the screws.
10. Secure the Supply Wires: Use the Clamp Connector to firmly secure the supply wires, ensuring they are held tightly in place.
11. Mount the LED Fixture: Lift the light fixture (AA) and align it with the C-channel brackets (II). Push the fixture firmly until the brackets snap securely into place.
12. Linking Fixtures (If Applicable): If you are installing multiple fixtures, connect them using the provided Linking Cable (BB).

By carefully following these steps, you should successfully hardwire your FEIT Electric 5CCTCAG3 under-cabinet light. If you have any difficulties, consult a qualified electrician or contact FEIT Electric for assistance.
