Flush Inset Panels
I
f your customer has chosen the flush inset panel applica-
tion, make sure that the panels you are about to install
match dimensions listed in the flush inset panel specifica-
tions on the following page. Additional panel design
information can be found in the Sub-Zero design guide
and on our website, subzero.com.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The size of the flush inset 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 provide handle
hardware at the job site to match the overall decorating
scheme.
To install flush inset 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 flush inset panel on a
sheet of
1
/4" (6) thick material and insert the backing
material into the channel.
Y
ou must allow for .10"
(3) s
pace between the backer
board and the decorative panel, so the panel will slide
easily into the door frame.
The illustration below provides a rear view of the three-
panel assembly with critical dimensions.
IMPORTANT NOTE: With the panels installed,
1
/2" (13)
minimum reveals must be kept on all sides to ensure
proper door opening and sufficient cooling of the unit.
Install the handle hardware before inserting the panel.
We recommend larger D-style pulls. The use of small, one-
piece knobs 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 on side-by-side models and
the upper door for over-and-under models, 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.
