For glass door Models I601RG, I611G and I650G, the refrigerator door panel must include a cut- out to accommodate the window. Refer to the Overlay Panel Specifications for Models I601RG, I611G and I650G on page 22.

IMPORTANT NOTE: On glass door models, the glass portion of the door must be exposed and not covered by any part of the panel.

For Models I685 and I695, the refrigerator door panel must include a cut-out to accommodate the glasswell and bezel. The thickness of the panel in this area can range from 6 mm to a maximum of 29 mm.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Regardless of the thickness of the overlay panel for Model I685 or I695, you must plan for a flat ’landing’ space for the decorative bezel surrounding the glasswell area. Refer to page 23 for exact cut-out dimensions of the glasswell area in the overlay, spacer and backer panels. This ’landing’ area can be accom- plished in a number of different ways. We are showing two in Illustrations 7 and 8 below.

Illustration 7 shows how you can recess the bezel to the inset panel. You must rout out a space to accommodate the 327 mm height of the bezel. Also keep in mind that the amount of material you will rout out of the stile will vary because of the thickness of this element. However, the width of the stile immediately adjacent to the bezel must be 37 mm. DO NOT cut the entire stile to this dimension. In this illus- tration you can see that rails above and below the bezel give this a finished look. Make sure that the bezel is not supporting weight from the panel.

Illustration 8 shows how you can box out a landing space for the bezel using stiles and rails to create this space. Again, keep in mind, that the total thickness of the panel at this level must not exceed 29 mm.

Overlay grille panels for the panel grille match the design of the door panels. Overlay units, except Models I601R, I601RG and I601F, come standard with an 279 mm panel grille. Optional grilles are available in 25 mm height increments from 254 mm to 381 mm. Overlay grille panel specifications for the panel grille are listed on page 23. Also refer to illustration 4 on page 19 for additional overlay panel dimensions.

Do not exceed the panel dimensions listed for the appropriate overlay grille panel you are specifying. The decorative panel cannot be any larger or it may restrict the airflow to the compressor area and cause problems with the operation of 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.
