OVERLAY DOOR PANELS
If you and your client have ordered an overlay
design model, you will be adding panels to give
the unit the custom Sub-Zero look. The overlay
panel design option is available on all Built-In
units except Models 648PRO and 648PROG.
For exact door panel dimensions for Built-In
overlay models, refer to the Overlay Panel Speci-
fications on pages 25–26.
The overlay design allows decorative panels to
cover the door trim for a more seamless
appearance that blends with the design of the
room. To achieve this look, the most common
way is to work with three panels—the decorative
overlay panel, a 0.10" (3) spacer panel and a
1
/4"
(6) backer panel. Depending on your cabinet
manufacturer, this could be one panel routed for
different dimensions or, more likely, three differ-
ent panels.
Regardless of the physical construction of the
panels (routing or three-panel assembly), you will
need to follow the Overlay Panel Specifications
on the following pages for exact sizing and panel
placement to ensure a proper fit.
Illustration 3 is a cross section view of the three-
panel assembly showing placement of the door,
drawer or grille trim. Illustration 4 shows a rear
view of the three-panel assembly and critical
dimensions, standard for all models.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Keep in mind that the
Sub-Zero door panels have the potential for
hitting adjacent cabinets and/or countertops
when they are opened. You need to be aware of
your surrounding cabinetry and space limitations
when using the overlay models. Refer to the full-
scale illustrations at the end of this section.
For glass door Models 601RG, 611G and 650G,
the refrigerator door panel must include a cut-
out to accommodate the window. Refer to the
Overlay Panel Specifications for Models 601RG,
611G and 650G on page 25.
IMPORTANT NOTE: On glass door models, the
glass portion of the door must be exposed and
not covered by any part of the panel.
