• Once the power is off, take the parts out of the box and clarify all the parts from the instructions are in the box as well. When all the parts are found, place them on a scratch free surface.
• Then you should put the glass panels into the frame and fit it using the clips that are provided.
• Then install the loop to the fixture as well as the bulbs.
• Once the loop and bulbs are in place, buckle the chain to the fixture and the loop.
