Step 14: With a Phillips screwdriver, remove the handles
from the freezer and refrigerator doors. Slide the panel into
the frame on the door. With the panel in position, replace
the handles. Be sure the panel is inserted completely into
the channel for proper fit and alignment. See illustration 13.
Next, replace the trim moldings by inserting the top, then
the bottom into the handle channel. Release the middle and
set the magnets.
INSTALLING PANELS
Before you begin installing panels, refer to the Panel
Specifications charts, and be sure you are working with the
Sub-Zero panel design called for in your installation plans.
If your customer has chosen the stainless steel design, the
unit has been shipped complete with a finished stainless
steel look. No panels or handle hardware are necessary to
install. In your final preparation for stainless steel units use
a stainless steel cleaner to remove any marks. Abrasive
cleaners should NOT be used, as they may scratch the sur-
face.
If your customer has ordered either framed or overlay units,
you will be installing panels to give the unit the custom
Sub-Zero look.
FRAMED PANELS
Step 12: If your customer has chosen a framed design
application, first remove the door handles to install the
front panels. The handle screws are hidden by a magnet
backed trim molding. Remove the molding using a piece of
tape to pull it away from the handle and expose the handle
screws. The molding will bend at the center so that you can
remove it. See illustration 12.
Step 13: If the thickness of the custom panels is less than
a 1/4" (6), back them up with a sheet of shim material to
build the total thickness to a 1/4" (6). If the panel is thick-
er than a 1/4" (6), rout an edge around the panel to get a
proper fit. Keep in mind that the weight of each panel can-
not exceed 50 lbs (23 kg). Refer to the Framed Panel
Specifications chart on page 12 for panel dimensions.
Additional panel design information can be found in the
Sub-Zero Design Guide.
IMPORTANT NOTE: On all models except Model 680 and
690, routing, recessing or optional extended handles may
be required on raised panels for finger clearance under the
handle. See Accommodations for Raised Panels, page 11.
