Answer:

The flush inset and dual flush inset stainless steel panels for Legacy Classic series (BI) models are the same size as suggested for custom flush inset panels for both single and dual flush inset applications.

An overlay unit with flush inset panels, purchased separately, will be needed to achieve this look.

• Panels are designed for flush inset installations only.
• Look and finish are designed for flush inset.
• The panels will not work with a standard installation. The sides of the panels would show a seam and protrude forward, making for an undesirable appearance.

Panel information:

• The panel thickness of the flush inset stainless steel panels is 3/4".
  
• The 3/4" "thickness" is achieved by two 90 degree bends.
• Due to the weight of stainless steel, it is not a solid 3/4" thick panel.
• The panels are made of 18 gauge, 304 type stainless steel with a #4 brushed finish.
• Spacer and backer panels are not required.
• Dual flush inset panels are hinge specific to make sure offsets are correct when the panel is applied.
  
  • Single flush inset panels are not hinge specific.        

Refer to the Sub-Zero Design Guide for panel and design specifications.

Handle information:

• The handles are not replaceable or removable. Replace entire panel assembly if there is an issue with the handle.

Dual installation considerations:

• When installing two different style units (side-by-side, over/under, wine storage) using a dual installation kit, the handles may not align.
• Pro style handles do not align.
• Tubular style handles align at the top.
• A dual wide flush inset grille must be used.
• It is not possible to use single flush inset grilles if units are installed in a dual application.
