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 appearance, 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 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

IMPORTANT NOTE: The unit must be allowed to have ven-
tilation through the fins of the kickplate/grille. You may
cover the solid area, but do not block the fins. For model
427R, the lower drawer panel may hang in front of the fins,
but your baseboard molding must not cover them.
Turn power back on to the electrical outlet.
Door Panels
odels 427 and 427R are available as a glass door (G) or
M
solid door (S) model. Each of these wine storage units are
set up at the job site as either the stainless steel or integrated design.
Stainless steel panels in three finishes in most cases;
classic (/S), platinum (/P) and carbon (/B)—available as
sales accessories—may be configured several ways and
are shipped separately. Stainless steel panels are shipped
with matching handles in place.
The integrated design uses custom wood or other decorative panels and handles provided by the customer.
Model 427R requires solid panels on the drawers that may
match the door panel, or be complementary. The model
427R stainless steel drawer panel set and stainless steel
door panel are ordered and shipped as two items.
The solid door model 427/S or 427R/S—with no glass
window—requires a different door panel than the glass
door design.
Before beginning installation, check for the correct components for the fit and finish desired. The door and
drawers (model 427R) require a decorative panel that is a
minimum
5
/8" (16) thick.

The stainless steel panel is mounted to the door by
passing the #8–32 x
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 427R
drawers, refer to model 427R drawer panels on page 24.
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.

panel has a weight limit of 20 lbs (9 kg) and the solid door
panel has a weight limit of 40 lbs (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 427 and
427R door using #8 x
5
/8" 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 temporarily
inserted into the
1
/4" (6) 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.

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 appearance, 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

a
/32" (11) diameter hole through the rest of the frame.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I
nstall 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

anchor to protect threads. Drive the anchor through the
material to be fastened until the washer is flush with
the surface material.
3) Expand the anchor by tightening the nut 3–5 turns past
hand-tight position or to 25 foot-pounds of torque.
Always wear safety glasses and use other necessary
protective devices or apparel when installing or
working with anchors.
Anchors are not recommended for use in lightweight
masonry material such as block or brick, or for use
in new concrete which has not had sufficient time to
cure. The use of core drills is not recommended to

side by side in a dual installation. Some dual standard
installations will require a dual installation kit, available
through your Sub-Zero dealer.
A custom filler strip can be used in between two units in a
framed, overlay or stainless steel design application. It is
recommended that the filler strip be at least 2" (51) wide,
to prevent condensation between the units. Be sure to add
the filler strip width to your rough opening width.
Dual installations without a filler strip can only be accomplished using two units with opposite hinges as shown in
