Construct the soffi t frame according to your individual 
install preference, while following the guidelines found in 
the INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS section.

When designing the soffi t; account for the thickness of your 
fi nishing substrate so that overall dimensions are fl ush 
with the vent hood and spacer below. The soffi t must allow 
permanent interior access (i.e. access panel/door). 

1.  Locate and mark the REAR WALL studs.

2.  Using appropriate mounting hardware for the soffi t  and 

rear wall construction; secure it into the rear wall. The 
soffi t will rest directly above the spacer and vent hood.

Important:  THE SOFFIT MUST BE SECURED INTO 

MULTIPLE WALL STUDS, USING THE 
APPROPRIATE HARDWARE, TO ENSURE 
PROPER SUPPORT. METAL FRAMEWORK 
WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL WALL 
STUDS AND SCREWS FOR PROPER 
SUPPORT. CONSULT A PROFESSIONAL 
CONTRACTOR FOR YOUR INDIVIDUAL 
SETUP.

3.  Install fi nishing substrate to left and right sides, and 

front of soffi t as appropriate.

Important:  The soffit must allow permanent interior 

access (i.e. access panel/door).
