LAYING OUT THE PANELS
The panels of the Designer Surround for Element4 are made to t against the replace opening and each other.
First, hold a metal panel up to the lower edge of the replace and mark the wall with a light pencil line along
the lower edge of the metal panel(s). Then draw a straight line parallel to the right edge of the replace open-
ing at the distance shown below as appropriate for your surround model. The intersection of these two lines
is the starting point for the installation.

NOTE ABOUT ZCLIPS
Z-clips installed on the wall should have the interlocking side facing up. The slotted side of the clips face
the wall. The length of the clips is to account for contact with the existing wall stud behind the wall
sheeting. Mount the Z-clips to studs only.
ZCLIP INSTALLATION PREP  REFER TO GRAPHICS ON PAGES 1011
• Use a stud-nder to mark the stud locations above, below, and anking the replace within the relevant
area you will be installing the surround. Screw into these locations for structural integrity. Note, you can
drill into the replace cabinet using 3/4” self tapping screws.
• The included z-clips should exceed 16”slightly. Holes are predrilled to 16”to line up with the rule of 16”
on center. There should be center drilled holes as well.
• Before sinking the second screw, make sure you level the clip o along the guideline.
