Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician. Ensure the power supply is switched off at the mains before commencing any work. The fixture is designed to be hardwired into your home's electrical system. Refer to the included installation manual for specific wiring diagrams and mounting instructions.

Dusting: Regular dusting with a soft cloth will help maintain its appearance.
