Model 315W Installation 8
Panel Specifications
M
odel 315W is offered in two design applications; stain-
less steel (/S) and overlay (/O). Each of these designs have
a full-view glass door.
The stainless steel model 315W/S is shipped from the
factory with the decorative stainless steel door panel and
matching handle in place.
The overlay model 315W/O is designed to accept a deco-
rative door panel to match surrounding cabinetry. The
door panel and handle will be provided by the customer.
Refer to the chart for overlay panel specifications
For overlay panel handle hardware, we recommend a
D-style handle, centered top to bottom along the edge
opposite the hinge. You may have to countersink screw
heads to ensure hardware does not interfere with panels
fitting flush with unit doors.
Additional panel information can be found in the wine
storage section of the Sub-Zero design guide, or check

A solid panel cannot be installed over the glass door,
as this may cause moisture to form behind the panel.
Kickplate
INSTALL KICKPLATE
Once the wine storage unit is in position, install the kick-
plate using the screws provided. Refer to the illustration.
There is some adjustment to the mounting assembly so
that the kickplate will fit flush with the surrounding area.
The kickplate must be removed for servicing. The floor
cannot interfere with removal. Do not cover the vents of
the kickplate to allow proper airflow.
If you choose, the kickplate 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.
KICKPLATE AIRFLOW
Model 315W uses a fan to take in room air through vents
in the left side of the kickplate, and discharges warm air
through vents in the right side. These vents must be kept
clear of obstructions or decorative panels. Blocking or
obstructing the kickplate will restrict airflow and cause
a decrease in performance and efficiency. Refer to the
illustration below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The minimum air temperature the
wine storage unit will operate in is 50˚F
(10˚C), and the
maximum is 100˚F
(38˚C).
