Overlay Panels
I
f your customer has chosen an overlay design applica-
tion, make sure that the panels you are about to install
match dimensions listed in the overlay panel specifica-
tions on the following page. Additional panel design infor-
mation can be found in the Sub-Zero design guide and on
our website, subzero.com.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The size of the overlay panel is
critical. It must fit over the door frame. The weight of the
overlay panel must not exceed 75 lbs
(34 kg) and the panel
must be a minimum of
5
/8" (16) thick.
Overlay models are shipped without handle hardware. The
cabinet manufacturer or designer will need to provide
handle hardware to match the overall decorating scheme.
To install overlay panels, first remove the door trim
molding. Insert a screwdriver tip into the top corner slot on
the handle side and pop out the trim molding. Refer to the
illustration on page 44. Remove the screws and frame.
Sub-Zero allows a
1
/4" (6) space to slide the backing
material 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 proper 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 .10"
(3) space between the backer
board and the decorative panel, so the panel will slide
easily into the door frame.
T
he illustrations below provide a cross section view of the
three panel assembly showing placement of the trim and a
rear view of the three panel assembly with critical dimen-
sions, standard for all models.
Install the handle hardware before inserting the panel. We
recommend a larger D-style pull. The use of a small, one-
piece knob is not recommended. If you use screws with
thick heads, you will need to countersink the screws into
the backer panel before sliding the assembly into place.
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.
To reinstall the trim molding, insert the top of the trim
molding into the grooves at the top of the door and work
downward, snapping the trim molding into the clips on the
frame.
