Kickplate/Grille Installation
Once the integrated unit is secured, the kickplate/grille
can be installed. The mounting bracket may be adjusted
slightly forward or back so the kickplate/grille will fit flush
with the surrounding area. Refer to the illustration below.
The kickplate/grille must be removable for service. The
floor cannot interfere with removal.
Turn power back on to the electrical outlet.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The unit must be allowed to have
ventilation through the fins of the kickplate/grille. You may
cover the solid area, but do not block the fins. The lower
drawer panel or the door panel of a column unit may hang
in front of the fins, but the baseboard molding must not
cover them.
If you choose, the kickplate/grille may be painted another
color. Follow these steps: Rough up the surface to be
painted with fine grit sandpaper. Wipe with alcohol to
ensure that the surface is clean and dry. Use an appliance
or industrial grade, oil base, high gloss enamel paint.
Panel Considerations
The integrated design utilizes custom wood or other
decorative panels and handles provided by the customer.
Stainless steel panels are available as accessories through
your authorized Sub-Zero dealer. For local dealer informa-
tion, visit the find a showroom section of our website,
subzero.com.
Check panel dimensions before proceeding. Additional
panel information can be found in the Sub-Zero design
guide and on our website, subzero.com.
IMPORTANT NOTE: A portion of the backside of the
decorative panels will need to be finished, as they will be
exposed when the doors are open.
D-style handles are recommended. Handles should be
located on the opposite side from the hinge, centered on
the cabinet door, and on the top center area of the drawer
panel. Screw heads may have to be countersunk to ensure
that hardware does not interfere with the panel fitting flush.
It is recommended that the door panel of a tall model be
installed first, then the upper and lower drawer panels.
