Models ICB427 and ICB427R Installation
Stainless Steel Door Panel
Before installing the stainless steel door panel, check the
panel carefully. Options are available for kickplate/grille
height, overall height, door swing and door lock.
The stainless steel panel is mounted to the door by
passing the #8–32 x 16 mm screws provided, through
holes in the door frame from the rear, and into the
threaded holes in the door panel. Refer to the illustration
below. 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.
After the door panel installation is complete, apply the
cover patches or plugs provided over the holes on the
inside surface of the door.
For installation of stainless steel panels on model
ICB427R drawers, refer to model ICB427R drawer panels
on page 15.
The cover patches or plugs are part of the insulation
system on the door of the wine storage unit. Be sure
to cover all the holes in the door that were used.

Inspect the door panel for the minimum 16 mm thickness,
the greater width requirements for the stiles (to cover the
door hinges), and the finished inside edge. The glass door
panel has a weight limit of 9 kg and the solid door panel
has a weight limit of 18 kg. Refer to the wine storage
section of the Sub-Zero design guide for additional panel
information.
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.
If a lock is to be used, the body of the lock should be
installed on the door panel after the panel is mounted.
Decorative panels are attached to the model ICB427 and
ICB427R door using #8 x 16 mm 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 tem-
porarily inserted into the 6 mm diameter holes in the front
of the glass door frame. Refer to the illustration.
With the wine storage unit secured in position 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.
The door panel is then lowered from the door frame, tenon
centers removed, the door opened and the screws driven
into the panel through the black tape on the door frame,
using the center marks to locate the screws.
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 properly.
IMPORTANT NOTE: After the first three or four mounting
screws are in place, but not completely tightened, close
the door and check your panel fit. This is the time to make
small adjustments. Once you are satisfied with the appear-
ance, open the door and apply the remainder of the
screws. Check all screws for tightness.
The metal frame on the glass door has numerous
mounting holes on each side of the door. This is to accom-
modate the Sub-Zero accessory handles and provide for
easy attachment 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 glass door.
The cross section illustration below shows how this hole
passes through the door frame. The hole center is on the
small locator groove in the front of the frame. A 6 mm
diameter hole is made in the front wall of the extrusion and
a 11 mm diameter hole through the rest of the frame.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Install screws in all the mounting holes
in the door frame. The nature of the door panel with a
narrow outer rim and no connecting center member
requires the support provided by the glass door.
After the door panel installation is complete, apply the
cover patches or plugs provided over the holes on the
inside surface of the door.
The wine storage unit door is made with a sealed
double wall tempered glass core. The drill must not
contact this core when drilling. Be sure the hole is
centered on the small groove in the front of the door
frame and the drill passes squarely through the
frame. If you are inexperienced with drilling, fasten
the handle from the rear of the door panel only.
The cover patches or plugs are part of the insulation
system on the door of the wine storage unit. Be sure
to cover all the holes in the door that were used.
