Prepare Wires: Have household wires (Live/Line, Neutral, Ground) ready from the junction box.
Assemble Fixture: Follow the specific steps for your model (e.g., attaching the diffuser holder to the main body). Do not fully tighten until aligned.

CAUTION! Do not over-tighten screws, especially on glass or plastic parts.

Electrical Installation

MUST BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Connect the fixture wires to the household wires using wire nuts:
- Fixture Black (or Brown) wire → Household Black (Live/Line) wire.
- Fixture White (or Blue) wire → Household White (Neutral) wire.
- Fixture Green/Yellow (or bare copper) wire → Household Green or bare (Ground) wire.
Neatly tuck all connected wires into the junction box.
Align the fixture body with the mounting plate and secure it using the provided screws or locking mechanism.
Install the diffuser/shade according to the specific instructions (e.g., twist-lock, secure with screws).

Tip: Double-check all wire connections are tight and secure before mounting the fixture.

Operation & Controls

The light is operated by a standard wall switch.

Turning On/Off: Use the connected wall switch.
Dimming (if applicable): Use a compatible dimmer switch installed by your electrician. Do not use with non-dimmable switches if the fixture is dimmable.
Note on LEDs: May have a slight delay when turning on. This is normal.

Remote/Smart Features (if applicable): If your model includes a remote or smart hub, refer to its separate quick guide for pairing and function control (e.g., dimming, color change).

Care & Maintenance

Always turn off power and let the fixture cool before cleaning.

Cleaning: Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the diffuser and fixture body. Do not use abrasive cleaners, chemicals, or solvents.
Glass Diffuser: Clean with a standard glass cleaner if needed, applied to the cloth first, not directly on the glass.
Inspection: Periodically check that the fixture is securely mounted and shows no signs of damage.

CAUTION! Never immerse the fixture in water or other liquids.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
Light does not turn on	Power supply issue, faulty switch, loose connection.	Check circuit breaker/power. Ensure wall switch is on. Contact electrician to check wiring connections.
Light flickers	Incompatible dimmer, loose connection, LED driver issue.	If dimmed, ensure dimmer is compatible. Tighten connections. If problem persists, the fixture may be faulty.
Dimming not working	Non-dimmable switch, incompatible dimmer, incorrect wiring.	Verify fixture is dimmable. Use only specified compatible dimmers. Have wiring checked by electrician.
Buzzing/humming sound	Incompatible dimmer, transformer/driver issue.	Try a different compatible dimmer. If sound persists without dimmer, fixture may be faulty.
Partial dark spots on LED panel	LED failure.	Contact IKEA for warranty service if within the coverage period.

Reset (for smart models): Refer to the smart device guide for resetting procedures.
