Kickplate/Grille
O
nce the unit is leveled and wiring connections made, the
kickplate/grille can be installed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The kickplate/grille must be removed
for servicing. The floor cannot interfere with removal. The
louvered section of the kickplate/grille must not be
covered so as to prevent air circulation.
For models 427 and 427R, there is some adjustment to the
mounting assembly so that the kickplate/grille can fit flush
with the surrounding area. Refer to the illustration below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The unit must be allowed to have ven-
tilation through the fins of the kickplate/grille. You may
cover the solid area, but do not block the fins. For model
427R, the lower drawer panel may hang in front of the fins,
but your baseboard molding must not cover them.
Turn power back on to the electrical outlet.
Door Panels
M
odels 427 and 427R are available as a glass door (G) or
solid door (S) model. Each of these wine storage units are
set up at the job site as either the stainless steel or inte-
grated design.
Stainless steel panels in three finishes in most cases;
classic (/S), platinum (/P) and carbon (/B)—available as
sales accessories—may be configured several ways and
are shipped separately. Stainless steel panels are shipped
with matching handles in place.
The integrated design uses custom wood or other decora-
tive panels and handles provided by the customer.
Model 427R requires solid panels on the drawers that may
match the door panel, or be complementary. The model
427R stainless steel drawer panel set and stainless steel
door panel are ordered and shipped as two items.
The solid door model 427/S or 427R/S—with no glass
window—requires a different door panel than the glass
door design.
Before beginning installation, check for the correct com-
ponents for the fit and finish desired. The door and
drawers (model 427R) require a decorative panel that is a
minimum
5
/8" (16) thick.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For installations at or above 5,000'
(1524 m) in altitude, a special high altitude glass door unit
(HA) must be ordered.
If you have questions, contact your Sub-Zero dealer or
cabinet supplier. Additional panel information can be
found in the Sub-Zero design guide, or visit our website at

Kickplate/grille installation.
A solid panel must not be installed on a glass door
unit, as this may cause moisture to form behind the
panel.
