The installation process for the SUB-ZERO Classic Series Extended Height Grille involves the following steps:
1. Ensure that the kitchen design calls for a decorative panel taller than the standard grille for an 84" (2134) finished height.
2. Provide at least 1/2" (13) space on all four sides of the grille panel for proper air flow to the refrigeration system. For flush inset models, this space should be around the sides, top, and bottom of the decorative grille panel.
3. If space is not provided directly above the top of the grille panel, it must be provided above the upper molding of the elevation.
4. Install a 1/4" (6) thick functional panel in the inner grille frame to prevent warm air discharge from short-circuiting back into the system. Use sizing for the "backer panel" found in the panel configurator or Sub-Zero design guide.
5. Specify a customer-supplied hinging system consistent with the cabinetry and with sufficient capacity to support the weight of the decorative grille panel.
6. Field install a cleat to the back side of the decorative grille panel to hold the flip-up inner grille frame in position when raised. The cleat should be 10" (254) long and include a lip to prevent unintentional separation of the decorative panel and grill frame. For a dual installation, use two cleats.
7. Install a customer-supplied catch between the back of the decorative grille panel and the functional grille panel to prevent noise caused by vibration. Depending on the design and size of the catch, it may need to be recessed into the functional grille panel and possibly partially into the decorative grille panel.
