If your customer has chosen overlay decorative door panels
and grille panel, the unit will be shipped without handle
hardware. The cabinet manufacturer or designer will pro-
vide handle hardware at the job site to match the overall
decorating scheme. 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 paneling.
Sub-Zero allows a 1/4" (6) space to slide the backing mate-
rial into place in the frame. If your material is thicker than a
1/4" (6), either rout an edge around the panel to get a prop-
er fit or mount the decorative overlay panel on a sheet of
1/4" (6) thick material and insert the 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 eas-
ily into the door frame. Keep in mind that the weight of
each panel assembly cannot exceed 50 lbs (23 kg).
Illustration 16 is a cross section view of the three panel
assembly showing placement of the door / drawer / grille
trim. Illustration 17 shows a rear view of the three panel
assembly and critical dimensions, standard for all models.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The size of the overlay panel is criti-
cal. It must fit over the door frame.
Refer to the Overlay Panel Specifications chart on page 14
for exact sizing of all three panels. Additional panel design
information can be found in the Sub-Zero Design Guide.
Step 15: 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 coun-
tersink the screws into the backer panel before sliding the
assembly into place.
Step 16: 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. Next, replace the trim molding by inserting
the top, then the bottom into the frame channel. Release
the middle and set the magnets.

The dispenser area of Models 685 and 695 has been engi-
neered to enable the use of the overlay panel application.
Installing overlay panels for these models is the same pro-
cedure as other 600 Series units. The refrigerator door panel
will need to accommodate a cutout for the glasswell bezel.
To remove the glasswell bezel for Models 685 and 695
overlay application, the water grille and touch pad must be
removed. Lift the water grille up and out. Next remove the
touch pad assembly which is taped in place, by removing
the center plastic mandrel supports. Carefully tilt the touch
pad out and disconnect the wire harness (blue side up) from
the back side of the touch pad. Remove the bezel by remov-
ing the (4) four screws. Insert overlay panel into door trim.
Reverse procedure to install bezel, touch pad and water
grille. To install the plastic rivets, insert rivets though the
touch pad and into the control housing and secure by press-
ing mandrels into the body of the rivets. Refer to illustra-
tions 18 and 19.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Total panel thickness (including backer
and spacer, if used) in the glasswell bezel area can range
from 1/4" (6) to a maximum of 1-1/8" (29). If the panel is
thicker, provisions must be made to router out a space to
accommodate the bezel surrounding the glasswell.
