Custom Panel—Designer
For Designer (IW) models, custom door panels and handle
hardware must be provided. Refer to the Panel Require-
ments chart and Typical Panel Dimensions.
Do not install a solid panel on the glass door unit. A solid
door is available as a sales accessory through an autho-
rized Sub-Zero dealer.
The thickness of the custom panel can vary. A minimum
⁄"
(16) thick panel is required, but the thickness can be
increased provided it does not exceed the weight limit. The
depth of each Designer model is 24"
(610). Allow for panel
thickness when planning the finished opening depth. Refer
to the full-scale template on page 53.
CAUTION
As reveals between cabinetry and the unit decrease,
severe finger pinching can occur while the door is
closing.
