Answer:

Extended Grille Height Install Instructions detail the installation process.

• When using an extended grille panel (taller than 88") on a Legacy Classic Series (BI) product, the hinges are provided by the panel maker.
• Sub-Zero does not provide the hinges for the extended grille panel kit nor does Sub-Zero specify how to install the hinge hardware.
  • Standard hardware companies include BLUM, Grass, Hepla, and Hafele, among other options available.
  • Heavy-duty hinges that work with both the cabinetry and the extended height grille are needed.
  • Cabinet makers are the best resource to suggest compatible hinges for the specific installation.
• The extended height grille option may also be used for custom grilles above 84".
  • Use the standard overlay 84" finished grille frame that comes with the unit when following the instructions for the extended grille panel option.
  • Use the 84" grille frame for any height between 84" and 88", or above 88".
  • Use the 88" grille frame accessory only for 88" finished height installations.
• For grille panels taller than 88", the extended grille is for flush inset installations only. Do not use with overlay panels in a standard installation.
  • When used in an overlay panel application, there is a gaping hole between the back of the grille and the front face of the cabinetry.
  • This gap is eliminated in flush inset installations.
• Do not exceed the grille panel weight limit.
• An extended grille can be accomplished with any Legacy Classic grille including a dual installation grille.
• Note that there is no sales accessory part for the extended height grille. The refrigerator grille is not taller, only the decorative grille panel.
