Overlay Panel Installation

BEVERAGE CENTER MODEL UC-24BG

Inspect the overlay door panel for minimum thickness, weight limit and finished inside edges. Decide if the handle will be attached through the glass door frame or just through the decorative door panel. If it is just through the door panel, the handle must be attached first.

The overlay door panel is attached using #8 x 5/8" square drive screws passing through the door frame from the rear, behind the gasket into the panel. The door panel is marked for screw locations by the use of tenon centers, which are temporarily inserted into the 1/4" (6) diameter holes in the front of the door frame. Refer to the illustration below.

With the unit secured in place and the door closed, the panel is held in the desired position on the door and rapped by hand from the front, putting center marks on the rear surface of the panel. If the door panel is made of such a material that pre-drilling is needed, all of the mounting holes should be marked. If not, only enough holes to hold the panel in place temporarily, are necessary.

Remove the door panel from the door frame and remove tenon centers. Open the door. Using the center marks to locate screws, drive the screws into the panel through the black tape on the door frame.

The screw holes inside the door are hidden under a cover flap on the door gasket. It is necessary to lift the flap to insert the screws. Use as many screws as necessary to hold the door panel in place securely.

IMPORTANT NOTE: After the first three or four mounting screws are in place, but not completely tightened, close the door and check the panel fit. This is the time to make small adjustments. Once you are satisfied with the appear- ance, open the door and add the rest of the screws. Check all screws for tightness.

The metal frame on the door has numerous mounting holes on each side of the door. This is to accommodate Sub-Zero accessory handles and provide for easy attach- ment of the handle through the door frame.

If you choose not to use the pre-drilled handle mounting holes, it will be necessary to fasten the handle from the rear of the door panel only, or drill one or more additional holes through the metal frame of the door.
