Aside from the full-size units
Sub-Zero offers in its Built-In and
Integrated lines of refrigeration, we
round out our product line-up with
aline of traditional Undercounter
refrigeration which meets all of the
exacting standards you have
grown to expect from Sub-Zero.
If you cannot run water to the
space and still want to have the
capability of having some ice at
your disposal, this unit is for you.
It maximizes the refrigeration
space and keeps the freezer to a
minimum. Keep in mind, however,
that unit does not have automatic
defrost, but it may be just right for
your clients.

power supply cord with a 3-prong grounding
plug which must be plugged into a mating
3-prong grounding type wall receptacle. Locate

FRAMED PANELS
Framed door panels must be 1/4"(6) thick around the
perimeter. If the panel is thicker than 1/4"(6), an edge must
be routed around the panel to ensure a proper fit. Refer to
the illustrations on this page.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The weight of the panel cannot
exceed 20 lbs (9 kg).

OVERLAY PANEL
The overlay door panel design allows for a decorative
panel to cover the door trim for a more seamless appear-
ance. To achieve this look, the most common way is to
work with three panels – the decorative 3/4"(19) thick
overlay panel, a 0.10" (3) thick spacer panel and a 1/4"(6)
thick backer panel. An accessory kit (OVERPAN) is required
in order to accommodate the proper installation of the
overlay panel. Additional specifications will be provided
with the accessory kit.
IMPORTANT NOTE: An area must be notched out on the
back edge of the overlay panel at both the top and bottom
hinges to avoid interference as shown in illustration on
this page.
Keep in mind that the Sub-Zero door panels have the
potential for hitting adjacent cabinets and/ or countertops
when they are opened. You need to be aware of your
surrounding cabinetry and space limitations when using
the overlay units. Refer to the full-scale illustration on
page 7.
You will need to follow the exact dimensions and panel
placement for your model to ensure a proper fit. Refer to
the overlaypanel specifications below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The weight of the panel assembly
cannot exceed 20 lbs (9 kg).
IMPORTANT NOTE: The total thickness of all panels for an
overlay model must be at least 5/8"(16) thick.
