If your customer has chosen the flush inset panel application, make sure that the panels you are about to install match dimensions listed in the Flush Inset Panel Specifications on page 14.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The size of the flush inset panel is critical. It must be sized correctly for a proper fit inside the opening.

Overlay/flush inset 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. For side-by-side models and the upper door for over-and-under models, insert a screwdriver tip into the top corner slot on the handle side and pop out the trim molding. Remove the screws and frame. For the drawer on over-and-under models, insert a screwdriver tip into the slot on either side of the trim molding running along the top of the drawer, and pop out the trim molding. Remove the screws and frame. Refer to the illustrations below.

Sub-Zero allows a 6 mm space to slide the backing material into place in the frame. If your material is thicker than a 6 mm, either rout an edge around the panel to get a proper fit or mount the decorative overlay panel on a sheet of 6 mm thick material and insert the backing material into the channel.

You must allow for 3 mm space between the backer board and the decorative panel, so the panel will slide easily into the door frame.

The illustrations below provide a cross section view of the three panel assembly showing place- ment of the door/ drawer/ grille trim and a rear view of the three panel assembly with critical dimensions, standard for all models.

IMPORTANT NOTE: With the panels installed, 13 mm minimum reveals must be kept on all sides to ensure proper door opening and suffi- cient 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 recom- mended. 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.

For the drawer on over-and-under models, start at one end and move towards the opposite end, snapping the trim molding into the clips on the frame.

Remove the inner grille panel assembly as described in Grille Removal, page 8. Remove the top two corner screws and pull away the top frame. Slide the panel into position in the grille frame. If you are using a grille panel 6 mm or thinner, you will need to install a filler.

Reattach the top frame by reinstalling the two top corner screws. Install the inner grille panel assembly onto the unit, by reversing the proce- dure outlined in Grille Removal, page 8.

Refer to specifications for Flush Inset Grille Panels on page 14, and the illustration below for the exact sizing of all three panels.

CAUTION

Do not exceed the panel dimensions listed for the appropriate flush inset grille panel you are specifying. The flush inset decorative panel cannot be any larger or it may restrict the air flow to the compressor area and cause problems with the operation of the Sub-Zero unit.
