BUILT-IN REFRIGERATION
HANDLE HARDWARE
Overlay models come without handle hardware.
The beauty of this design is that you can match
the surrounding cabinet hardware. You or the
cabinet manufacturer must provide handle
hardware to match the overall decorating
scheme.
The handle hardware must be installed before
installing the panel assembly. Use larger D-style
handles. If screws with thick heads are used,
the screws will need to be countersunk into the
door before the panel is put into place.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Sub-Zero does not recom-
mend using single pull knobs on any of its Built-
In models.
For overlay Models 685 and 695, mounting
placement of the refrigerator door handle must
assure proper access to the glasswell and
adequate clearance under the handle. Illustration
9 shows placement of the refrigerator door
handle in relationship to the glasswell bezel on
stainless steel models.
Optional stainless steel handles are available in a
variety of diameters and lengths, as are handles
to match the color and style of Wolf ovens.
Contact your Sub-Zero dealer for specifics.
Refer to the full-scale illustrations at the end of
this section for handle hardware considerations.
SIDE PANELS
Side panels can be used with the framed,
overlay and stainless steel design applications.
When planning for side panels with the installa-
tion of a Built-In model, you need to be aware of
space configuration to achieve a pleasing fit.
Depending on the exact panel you are using with
your unit, the height of the panel will vary.
Cut-outs around the toe kick and grille area are
required if a
1
/4" (6) thick panel will be inserted
into the main frame channel. The panel will need
to be 24" (610) deep. If a
3
/8" (10) thick panel is
used, the panel will abut the main frame and
should be 23
7
/8" (606) deep. Refer to illustra-
tions 10–12 below for placement of toe kick and
grille area cut-outs for your specific model.
These dimensions do not apply to Models
648PRO and 648PROG.
The toe kick area may or may not be cut out
depending on the look you want to achieve.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The use of side panels may
change the width of your rough opening.
