to flex and conform to any small imperfections in the ceiling’s sur-
face. Tighten the six screws on the front of the baffle only enough
to make the flange become snug against the ceiling. As you tighten
the screws, the feet will automatically flip into an outward position
(Diagram 4), thereby clamping the drywall between the feet and
the flange.CAUTION: Over tightening may torque the baffle,
crack the wall, cause the white bezel to distort, and make the
grille difficult to seat into the grille grooves.
