WARNING
This design feature involves potentially hazardous ele­ments consisting of large, heavy panels located over­head. It is the responsibility of the designer to specify panel support components suitable for this use and the installer to use proper workmanship during construc­tion. Sub-Zero cannot be liable for custom applications beyond its control.
FLUSH INSET
All built-in ush inset models have the option of extending the height of the decorative grille panel. This application is used when the kitchen design calls for a decorative panel taller than the standard grille for an 84" or the optional grille for an 88"
(2235) nished height. With an
(2134) nished height
extended height grille panel, the nished height of the unit can be 88"
(2235) or more to match surrounding cabinetry.
The decorative grille panel and support hinges are provided by the customer. The factory-supplied grille frame is tted with a functional panel that serves as an air bafe. The grille frame also acts as a support to hold the decorative panel open for condenser cleaning, water lter replacement, and service.
FLUSH INSET PANELS
The ush inset design allows for custom grille and door panels to be completely ush, blending more seamlessly with surrounding cabinetry.
The decorative panel and grille frame are supported by two separate hinge systems and are only connected by a cleat when open and a catch when closed.
