panel dimensions.
To install overlay panels, first remove the
magnet backed trim molding using a piece of
tape to pull it away from the frame and expose
the screws. The molding will bend at the
center so that you can remove it. Remove the
frame by removing the four screws. The door
channel is now ready to accept the overlay
panel assembly.
Sub-Zero allows a
backing material into place in the frame. If
your material is thicker than a
rout an edge around the panel to get a proper
fit or mount the decorative overlay panel on a
sheet of
backing material into the channel.
You must allow for 0.10" (3) space between the
backer board and the decorative panel, so the
panel will slide easily into the door frame.

Install the handle hardware before inserting
the panel. We recommend larger D-style pulls.
The use of small, one-piece knobs is not
recommended. If you use screws with thick
heads, you will need to countersink the screws
into the backer panel before sliding the
assembly into place.
Slide the panel into the frame on the door.
With the panel in position, replace the frame
end. Be sure the panel is inserted completely
into the channel for proper fit and alignment.
Replace the trim molding by inserting the top,
then the bottom into the handle channel.
Release the middle and set the magnets.
