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 bafe. 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.
