ANTI-TIP BLOCKING KIT
To prevent the unit from tipping forward and to
provide a stable installation, the unit must be
secured in place with an anti-tip blocking kit. If
there is a solid soffit above the unit with clear-
ance between the unit and the soffit of 1" (25)
or less, you won‘t need to block the unit. But for
installations with clearances of more than 1"
(25), you must block the unit with the anti-tip
blocking kit (wood block and hardware) provided
with each Sub-Zero Built-In model. Refer to the
Built-In Installation Instructions packed with the
appliance, which provides step-by-step proce-
dures for making sure the unit is installed
properly.
ADDING PANELS
In your plan for panels, be sure you are working
with the Sub-Zero panel design family called for
in your design. If you have chosen the stainless
steel design, the unit will be shipped complete
with wrapped stainless steel doors and handle
hardware. You will not have to install door
panels.
Specifications on the following pages provide
panel dimensions and installation considerations
for framed and overlay door panels.
Side panels can be used with the framed,
overlay and stainless steel design applications.
Refer to specifications on page 26.
FRAMED DOOR PANELS
If you and your client have ordered a framed
design model, you will be adding panels to give
the unit the custom Sub-Zero look. The framed
panel design option is available on all Built-In
units except Models 648PRO and 648PROG. For
exact door panel dimensions for Built-In framed
models, refer to the Framed Panel Specifications
on pages 20–21. Also refer to the full-scale
illustrations at the end of this section for panel
and handle considerations.
The traditional framed models come with an
elegant, smooth, full-length handle. Optional
extended full-length handles that provide
additional finger clearance for raised panels are
available through your Sub-Zero dealer.
If the thickness of the custom panels is less
than
1
/4" (6), they must be backed up with a
sheet of shim material to build the total thick-
ness to
1
/4" (6). If the panel is thicker than
1
/4"
(6), an edge must be routed around the panel to
ensure a proper fit. Refer to illustrations 1 and 2.
IMPORTANT NOTE: On all framed models,
routing, recessing or optional extended handles
may be required on raised panels for finger clear-
ance under the handle. Refer to the full-scale
illustrations at the end of this section.
For glass door Models 601RG, 611G and 650G,
the refrigerator door panel must include a cut-
out to accommodate the window. Refer to the
Framed Panel Specifications on pages 20–21.
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 685 and 695, 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
1
/4" (6) to a
maximum of 1
1
/8" (29). If the panel is thicker,
provisions must be made to rout out a space to
accommodate the decorative bezel surrounding
the glasswell.
