Stainless Steel Door Panel Overlay Door Panel

Before installing the stainless steel door panel, check the panel carefully. Options are available for kickplate/grille height, overall height, door swing and door lock.

The stainless steel panel is mounted to the door by passing the #8–32 x 5/8" screws (provided), through holes in the door frame from the rear, and into the threaded holes in the door panel. Refer to the illustration below. The screw holes inside the door are hidden under a cover flap on the door gasket. It is necessary to lift the flap to insert the screws.

After the door panel installation is complete, apply the cover patches or plugs provided over the holes on the inside surface of the door.

For installation of stainless steel panels on model 427RG drawers, refer to drawer panel installation on page 28.

The cover patches or plugs are part of the insulation system on the door of the wine storage unit. Be sure to cover all the holes in the door that were used.

Inspect the door panel for the minimum 5/8" (16) thickness, the greater width requirements for the stiles (to cover the door hinges), and the finished inside edge. The glass door panel has a weight limit of 20 lbs (9 kg). Refer to the wine storage section of the Sub-Zero design guide for addi- tional panel information.

Decide if the handle will be attached through the glass door frame or just through the decorative door panel. If it is just through the door panel, the handle must be attached first.

If a lock is to be used, the body of the lock should be installed on the door panel after the panel is mounted.

Decorative panels are attached to the model 427G and 427RG door using #8 x 5/8" square drive screws passing through the door frame from the rear, behind the gasket into the panel. The door panel is marked for screw loca- tions by the use of tenon centers, which are temporarily inserted into the 1/4" (6) diameter holes in the front of the glass door frame. Refer to the illustration.

With the wine storage unit secured in position and the door closed, the panel is held in the desired position on the door and rapped by hand from the front, putting center marks on the rear surface of the panel. If the door panel is made of such a material that pre-drilling is needed, all of

the mounting holes should be marked. If not, only enough holes to hold the panel in place temporarily, are necessary.

The door panel is then lowered from the door frame, tenon centers removed, the door opened and the screws driven into the panel through the black tape on the door frame, using the center marks to locate the screws.
