Panel Installation - Sub-Zero Classic Series Installation Manual

Panel Installation

Custom Panels
For overlay and flush inset applications, custom door and
grille panels must be installed. The panel size is critical for
a proper fit. To verify panel requirements and dimensions,
refer to the Sub-Zero Design Guide at subzero.com/specs.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Flush inset applications require a mini-
mum 13 mm reveal on all sides.
Finish all sides of the custom panels. They may be visible
when the door is open or through the window of glass
door models.

For external dispenser models, the dispenser bezel must be
removed before the custom panels can be installed.
The bezel will accommodate a minimum 19 mm thick
panel. Panels thicker than 19 mm must be routed in the
dispenser area to 29 mm (including the backer and spacer
panels).
To remove the bezel:

DOOR PANELS
To install custom door panels, remove the handle side trim
molding. Insert a screwdriver tip into the top corner slot
on the handle side and pop out the trim. For the drawer,
insert a screwdriver tip into the slot on either side of the
trim running along the top of the drawer and pop out the
trim. Remove the screws and frame. Refer to the illustra-
tions below.
The door has a 6 mm frame for the custom panel to slide
into. If the panel is thicker than 6 mm, rout an edge around
the panel or mount the panel on a sheet of 6 mm thick
material, then insert into the frame.
Door side trim Drawer top trim
A 3 mm space is required between the backer panel
and the custom panel to allow the panel to slide into the
door frame. Refer to the illustration below for critical
dimensions.
Install handle hardware before inserting the panel. Large
D-style handles are recommended rather than knobs.
Screw heads must be countersunk into the panel.
Slide the panel into the frame.
To reinstall the door trim molding, insert the top of the trim
into grooves at the top of the door and work downward,
snapping the trim into clips on the door frame. For the
drawer, start at one end and move towards the opposite
end, snapping the trim into the clips.
