FLUSH INSET PANEL INSTALLA TI ON

FLUSH INSET PANELS

GRILL E PAN EL ASSEM BLY

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.

ICBBI-36RG, ICBBI-36F, ICBBI-36R specifications

The Sub-Zero ICBBI-36R, ICBBI-36F, and ICBBI-36RG are premium built-in refrigerators designed to combine cutting-edge technology with sophisticated aesthetics, making them a perfect addition to any modern kitchen. These models stand out for their impressive capacity, advanced features, and customizable design, ensuring they meet the needs of discerning homeowners and culinary enthusiasts alike.

One of the main features of these refrigerators is their dual refrigeration system. By maintaining separate cooling environments for the refrigerator and freezer compartments, Sub-Zero ensures optimal freshness and preservation of food. This technology helps to reduce the chances of odor transfer between compartments, allowing fruits, vegetables, and other perishables to maintain their flavor and nutritional value for longer periods.

The ICBBI-36R model is designed specifically for refrigeration, while the ICBBI-36F focuses on freezing, and the ICBBI-36RG seamlessly combines both. Each unit provides ample storage space, enhancing functionality without compromising on style. The sleek stainless-steel finish and customizable panels enable integration into any kitchen decor, creating a streamlined appearance that suits high-end designs.

Temperature management is a standout characteristic of these units. Sub-Zero refrigerators are equipped with advanced microprocessor controls that monitor and adjust temperatures to ensure optimal conditions for every type of food. The units also feature air purification systems that filter out contaminants and ethylene gas, which can cause fruits and vegetables to ripen too quickly.

Energy efficiency is another critical consideration in these models. Sub-Zero has incorporated energy-saving technologies that meet stringent efficiency guidelines while still delivering superior cooling performance. These refrigerators use less energy than traditional models, aligning with modern consumers' growing interest in sustainability.

Furthermore, the ICBBI-36 line includes various features designed for convenience, such as adjustable shelving and storage bins, providing ease of organization. The door panel ice maker and water dispenser in the ICBBI-36RG model add an extra layer of convenience for users.

Overall, the Sub-Zero ICBBI-36R, ICBBI-36F, and ICBBI-36RG embody a perfect blend of innovation, style, and functionality. With advanced refrigeration technologies, customizable design, and energy efficiency, these models offer a top-tier solution for preserving food while elevating kitchen aesthetics.
