Once the chandelier is physically mounted, connect the electrical wiring. Twist the black supply wire from the ceiling with the fixture's hot side wire. Secure this connection using the provided wire caps. Repeat this process for the white wires, connecting them to the fixture's neutral wire. If a bare copper ground wire is present from the home's wiring, connect it to the fixture's ground wire. After all connections are made, gently push all the connected wiring neatly up into the electrical box. Finally, install the canopy (the decorative plate that covers the electrical box) using the provided screws to complete the wiring enclosure.
