Overlay Panels

If 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.

The 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.

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.
