OVERLAY P A N E L S

If your customer has chosen an overlay design application, make sure that the panels you are about to install match dimensions listed in the Overlay Panel Specifications on pages 18–19.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The size of the overlay panel is critical. It must fit over the door frame.

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 overlay panels, first remove the magnet backed trim molding using a piece of tape to pull it away from the frame and expose the screws. The molding will bend at the center so that you can remove it. Remove the frame by removing the four screws. The door channel is now ready to accept the overlay panel assembly.

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 0.10" (3) space between the backer board and the decorative panel, so the panel will slide easily into the door frame.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The weight of each panel assembly cannot exceed 50 lbs (23 kg).

Illustration 12 below is a cross section view of the three panel assembly showing placement of the door/drawer/grille trim. Illustration 13 shows a rear view of the three panel assembly and critical dimensions, standard for all models.

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.

Replace the trim molding by inserting the top, then the bottom into the handle channel. Release the middle and set the magnets.
