Installing the HINKLEY 3480 Teardrop 13 Inch Wide Flush Mount fixture involves several key steps. First, prepare your workspace and unpack the fixture, along with its glass components, from the packaging. Review the provided instructions carefully before starting assembly. Begin by mounting the fixture directly to a junction box. Attach the mounting plate (A) to the junction box using screws appropriate for your junction box (screws are not included). Make sure the mounting screws (B) are facing outward and are level after installation. You may also use the additional anchor holes (S) on the mounting plate for added support, using anchoring hardware suitable for the surface you are mounting to. Next, address the wiring. Determine the location of the mounting plate (A) on the wall and mark the hole positions. Fasten the mounting plate to the wall, using the appropriate hardware (not provided). Connect the fixture wires to the electrical supply wires, matching the white-ribbed wire to neutral and the black-smooth wire to hot. Always adhere to the wiring and grounding instructions (IS 18) for safe electrical connections. After completing the wiring, tuck the wires neatly into the junction box. Then, position the backplate (C) over the mounting plate. Slip screws (B) through holes (E) in the backplate (C) and secure them with the barrel knobs (F). Ensure the backplate fits snugly against the wall for a secure fit. Finally, install the shade. Secure the top of the bracket (B) to the socket body (1) with screws (5). Repeat this process for all brackets. Attach the shade to the brackets using screws and ball knobs. If the fixture has adjustable arms, adjust them to your desired angle by loosening the "H" key, rotating the arm, and retightening the key. For grounding, connect the positive and negative supply wires to the fixture leads based on your specific fixture type. Always follow the grounding instructions appropriate for your electrical system to guarantee safe and proper functionality. By following these steps, you can successfully and safely install your HINKLEY 3480 Teardrop 13 Inch Wide Flush Mount fixture.
