Install dimmers in switchbox(es). Use center mounting
holes as required for first unit, then use offset mounting
holes as required for proper alignment. Remember to keep
all small dimmers grouped together. See Figure F.

Replace sliders and snap on multi-gang faceplate (or
multiple single faceplates) and adjust up or down for a
snug fit. Multi-gang faceplates (with mounting frames and

Figure H: Cutting Faceplate
Cutting Faceplates When Removing Side Sections:
Faceplates will need to be cut if side sections are removed
when not using a multi-gang faceplate. Place faceplate on
a soft cloth face down. Press firmly and score the groove
on the back of faceplate with a razor sharp knife, using
vertical groove to keep knife on a straight course. Bend
section back and forth to break it off. Smooth edges by
placing fine-grained sandpaper on a flat surface and
rubbing edge of faceplate over the sandpaper a few times.
Hold faceplate steady as you rub to keep a straight edge.
