Custom Panel
For overlay models, a custom door panel and handle 
hardware must be provided. Refer to the charts for panel 
requirements and dimensions.
Finish all sides of the custom panel. They may be visible 
when the door is open or through the window of glass 
door models.
A D-style handle is recommended. Locate the door handle 
near the edge of the panel opposite the hinge and cen-
tered top to bottom.
Model UW-24FS has a finished stainless steel exterior that 
is designed to be used in a freestanding application.

door is available as a sales accessory and must be installed 
if a solid panel is specified. Service may be required to 
install the door. Contact an authorized Sub-Zero dealer 
for more information. Overall dimensions are the same for 
glass and solid door panels.
