Overlay Door Panel
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
accommodate 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 1 / 4 " (6)
diameter hole is made in the front wall of the extrusion and
a 13 / 32 " (11) 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 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.

Door frame cross section.
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.
