If you and your client have ordered an overlay design model, you will be adding panels to give the unit the custom Sub-Zero look. The overlay panel design option is available on all Built-In units except Models ICB648PRO and ICB648PROG.

For exact door panel dimensions for Built-In overlay models, refer to the Overlay Panel Speci- fications on pages 22–23.

The overlay design allows decorative panels to cover the door trim for a more seamless appearance that blends with the design of the room. To achieve this look, the most common way is to work with three panels—the decorative overlay panel, a 3 mm spacer panel and a 6 mm backer panel. Depending on your cabinet manu- facturer, this could be one panel routed for different dimensions or, more likely, three differ- ent panels.

Regardless of the physical construction of the panels (routing or three-panel assembly), you will need to follow the Overlay Panel Specifications on the following pages for exact sizing and panel placement to ensure a proper fit.

Illustration 3 is a cross section view of the three- panel assembly showing placement of the door, drawer or grille trim. Illustration 4 shows a rear view of the three-panel assembly and critical dimensions, standard for all models.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Keep in mind that the Sub-Zero door panels have the potential for hitting adjacent cabinets and/or countertops when they are opened. You need to be aware of your surrounding cabinetry and space limitations when using the overlay models. Refer to the full- scale illustrations at the end of this section.

If you are using an overlay door panel with Model I611, I611G, I650 or I650G, it is necessary to rout a space for the unit‘s lower hinge plate so it does not strike the door panel. Refer to illustration 5.

For Models I611, I611G, I650 and I650G, you will minimize the reveal between the bottom of the overlay door panel and the top of the overlay drawer panel. Refer to illustration 6.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you choose not to rout a space for the lower hinge plate, you can reduce the total height of the overlay panel (decorative panel only) by 13 mm.

Do not exceed the overlay decorative panel dimensions for Models I611, I611G, I650 or I650G listed on page 22. If you try to make the reveal tighter between the door and drawer panels, the panels may hit when opening and closing, causing possible damage to the panels and the Sub-Zero unit.

Sub-Zero specifications

Sub-Zero is synonymous with luxury refrigeration, renowned for its high-quality products that combine aesthetics, functionality, and innovative technology. Founded in 1945, the brand has carved a niche for itself as a pioneer in the refrigeration and preservation of food. Their commitment to exceptional performance and durability has established Sub-Zero as a favored choice for both culinary enthusiasts and professional chefs.

One of the standout features of Sub-Zero refrigeration units is their dual refrigeration system. Unlike traditional models that use a single cooling system for both the refrigerator and freezer compartments, Sub-Zero’s design employs two independent systems. This not only optimizes temperature control for each compartment but also maintains optimal humidity levels, which is essential for preserving the freshness of food longer.

Another defining characteristic of Sub-Zero models is their advanced air purification system. Incorporating NASA-inspired technology, the air purification system utilizes a combination of UV light and a carbon filter to eliminate airborne bacteria and mold. This feature ensures that the refrigerator environment remains pristine, significantly extending the lifespan of produce and other perishables.

Moreover, Sub-Zero appliances come with customizable interior shelving and storage options. Users can configure the layout to maximize space efficiency, accommodating items of various sizes. The adjustable shelves and bins are designed to be both functional and visually appealing, ensuring that organization within the unit is seamless.

Energy efficiency is also a hallmark of Sub-Zero’s commitment to sustainability. Many models are ENERGY STAR certified, reflecting the use of materials and technology designed to minimize energy consumption while still providing powerful performance.

In addition, Sub-Zero offers a range of style options, including integrated and built-in designs that fit seamlessly into any kitchen aesthetic. With customizable paneling options, Sub-Zero appliances can blend with cabinetry, creating a cohesive look that enhances the overall elegance of the space.

Overall, Sub-Zero’s dedication to quality, performance, and design innovation sets it apart in the competitive world of refrigeration. With features that prioritize food preservation, user convenience, and energy efficiency, Sub-Zero remains a top choice for those seeking the ultimate in luxury kitchen appliances.
