Integrated Installation 14 Kickplate/Grille Installation Once the integrated unit is secured, the kickplate/grille can be installed. The mounting bracket may be adjusted slightly forward or back so the kickplate/grille will fit flush with the surrounding area. Refer to the illustration below. The kickplate/grille must be removable for service. The floor cannot interfere with removal. Turn power back on to the electrical outlet. IMPORTANT NOTE: The unit must be allowed to have ventilation through the fins of the kickplate/grille. You may cover the solid area, but do not block the fins. The lower drawer panel or the door panel of a column unit may hang in front of the fins, but the baseboard molding must not cover them. If you choose, the kickplate/grille may be painted another color. Follow these steps: Rough up the surface to be painted with fine grit sandpaper. Wipe with alcohol to ensure that the surface is clean and dry. Use an appliance or industrial grade, oil base, high gloss enamel paint. Panel Considerations The integrated design utilizes custom wood or other decorative panels and handles provided by the customer. Stainless steel panels are available as accessories through your authorized Sub-Zero dealer. For local dealer information, visit the find a showroom section of our website, subzero.com. Check panel dimensions before proceeding. Additional panel information can be found in the Sub-Zero design guide and on our website, subzero.com. IMPORTANT NOTE: A portion of the backside of the decorative panels will need to be finished, as they will be exposed when the doors are open. D-style handles are recommended. Handles should be located on the opposite side from the hinge, centered on the cabinet door, and on the top center area of the drawer panel. Screw heads may have to be countersunk to ensure that hardware does not interfere with the panel fitting flush. It is recommended that the door panel of a tall model be installed first, then the upper and lower drawer panels.
