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 57.
CAUTION
As reveals between cabinetry and the unit decrease,
severe finger pinching can occur while the door is
closing.
Finish all sides of the custom panels. They will be visible
when the door/drawer is open.
D-style handles are recommended. Locate the door handle
near the edge of the panel opposite the hinge and cen-
tered top to bottom. Locate drawer handles near the top
edge of each panel. Stainless steel tubular and pro handles
are avail able through an authorized Sub-Zero dealer. For
local dealer information, visit the find a showroom section
of our website, subzero.com.
