Custom Panel—Designer Series
For Designer Series models, custom door/drawer panels 
and handle hardware must be provided. Refer to the Panel 
Requirements chart and Typical Panel Dimensions.
Do not install a solid panel on the glass door unit. A solid 
door is available as a sales accessory through an autho-
rized Sub-Zero dealer.
The thickness of the custom panel can vary. A minimum 
⁄" 
(16) thick panel is required, but the thickness can be 
increased provided it does not exceed the maximum panel 
weight indicated in the chart below. The depth of each 
Designer Series model is 24" 
(610). Allow for panel thickness 
when planning the finished opening depth. Refer to the 
full-scale template on page 53.

 CAUTION
As reveals between cabinetry and the unit decrease,
