Surface Mount Installation
The diffuser is fully assembled from the factory.

1. Carefully remove the unit from the shipping carton and inspect for damage that may have occurred during shipping. If shipping damage is found, do not install. Call the rep, salesperson, or manufacturer to report damage.
2. Wipe down unit to remove shipping dust and debris.
3. Prepare the ceiling: Cut a rectangular hole in the desired location 1.48 in. smaller than the nominal size of the diffuser. Frame the hole with 2×4 wood or equivalent steel studs. Always measure the units to verify dimensions before making cuts.
