Model ICBWS-30 Installation
Flush Inset Panels
If your customer has chosen the flush inset panel applica-
tion, make sure that the panels you are about to install
match dimensions listed in the flush inset panel specifica-
tions to the right. Additional panel design information can
be found in the Sub -Zero design guide and on our
website, subzero.com.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The size of the flush inset panel is
critical. It must fit over the door frame. The weight of the
overlay panel must not exceed 34 kg and the panel must
be a minimum of 16 mm thick.
Overlay models are shipped without handle hardware.
The cabinet manufacturer or designer will provide handle
hardware at the job site to match the overall decorating
scheme.
To install flush inset panels, first remove the door trim
molding. Insert a screwdriver tip into the top corner slot on
the handle side and pop out the trim molding. Refer to the
illustration below Remove the screws and frame.
Sub-Zero allows a 6 mm space to slide the backing
material into place in the frame. If your material is thicker
than a 6 mm, either rout an edge around the panel to get a
proper fit or mount the decorative flush inset panel on a
sheet of 6 mm thick material and insert the backing
material into the channel.
You must allow for 3 mm space between the backer board
and the decorative panel, so the panel will slide easily into
the door frame.

The illustrations above provide a cross section view of the
three panel assembly showing placement of the trim and a
rear view of the three panel assembly with critical dimen-
sions, standard for all models.
IMPORTANT NOTE: With the panels installed, 13 mm
minimum reveals must be kept on all sides to ensure
proper door opening and sufficient cooling of the unit.
Install the handle hardware before inserting the panel.
We recommend larger D-style pulls. The use of small, one-
piece knobs is not recommended. If you use screws with
thick heads, you will need to countersink the screws into
the backer panel before sliding the assembly into place.
Slide the panel into the frame on the door. With the panel
in position, replace the frame end. Be sure the panel is
inserted completely into the channel for proper fit and
alignment.
To reinstall the trim molding on side-by-side models and
the upper door for over-and-under models, insert the top
of the trim molding into the grooves at the top of the door
and work downward, snapping the trim molding into the
clips on the frame.
Remove the grille panel assembly as described on page

top frame. Slide the panel into position in the grille frame.
If you are using a grille panel 6 mm or thinner, you will
need to install a filler.

Refer to specifications for flush inset grille panels and the
illustrations to the left for the exact sizing of all three
panels.
Do not exceed the panel dimensions listed for the
appropriate flush inset grille panel you are speci-
fying. The flush inset decorative panel cannot be any
larger or it may restrict the air flow to the com-
pressor area and cause problems with the operation
of the Sub-Zero unit.
