A 115 volt, 60 Hz, 15 amp
fused electrical supply is
required. It is recommended
a separate circuit, serving
only this appliance, be
provided.
All Sub-Zero units are
equipped with a power supply
cord with a 3-prong grounding
plug and it must be plugged
into a mating 3-prong ground-
ing type wall receptacle.
Follow the National Electrical
Code and local codes and
ordinances when installing
the receptacle. Refer to
figures and chart on page 10
for exact specifications.
For units with an automatic
ice maker, rough in the water
supply line. Connect a VI” OD
copper line to the house
supply being sure to use an
easily accessible shut off
valve between the supply and
the refrigerator.
Do not use “self-piercing”
valves. A saddle valve kit
(part #d-20-088-0) is avail-
able from your distributor/
dealer. A line filter is required
when water conditions have
a high sediment content.
The water line should be
routed up through the floor
within %” from the back wall
no higher than 3” off the
floor. If you have to come
through the wall, make sure
the water line is no more than
3” from the floor.
Regardless of the routing,
allow two to three feet of
excess copper tubing to
remain outside the wall or
floor for easy connection to
the unit. Refer to figures and
chart on page 10 for exact
specifications.
It is important to keep in
mind that all installations
must allow for the units
to open a minimum of 90
degrees or you will have
problems removing crispers
and drawers. With the door
opening at 90 degrees, you
may have to move drawers
or crispers slightly to clear
the door interior. Refer to
minimum door clearance on
page 10.
l For corner installations,
you must allow for a
minimum two inch filler to
assure door opens to 90
degrees. Where raised panels
are used, you may want to
consider a wider filler.
Strip
1
l When units are installed
side by side a filler strip is
recommended. Depending on
the configuration and panels
used, this filler strip will vary.
l Keep in mind the filler strip
width should be added to
your finished rough in dimen-
sion. In any side by side
installation, an additional half
inch should be added to your
combined numbers.
(fOOT#OX: Refer to full
sea/e drawings on center
pages ZOA and IOB, Figures
A, B and C for specifics on
door openings and filler size
a/ternatives.)

Integrating
Cabinetry
The beauty of a built-in
Sub-Zero is its ability to easily
accept decorative panels on
the front, side or grille area.
Optional steel door panels
are available from Sub-Zero
in three colors - almond,
stainless steel and white. If,
however, you choose to install
different panels to comple-
ment your kitchen cabinetty,
follow these sizes. In some
instances raised panels may
require a handle recess. On
the units where this may be
necessary, standard specifi-
cations are provided in the
drawings and columns D, E
and F. (Weight limit per
door panel: 50 lbs. on full
size units; 20 lbs. on under-
counter models.)

The Sub-Zero 11” louvered
grille is standard on all units
with the exception of the
Model 590. An easy-access
(EA) panel grille is available as
an option for all models and
easily accepts decorative
panels. The Model 590 has
this 11” EA panel grille as a
standard feature.
As with the standard grille,
the EA panel grille can be
ordered in one inch incre-
ments from 10 to 15”.
The following sizes should
be used when ordering deco-
rative inserts for the EA panel
grille. There is a 15 pound
weight limit on these inserts.

Any other custom grille
must meet required airflow
requirements and you should
contact Sub-Zero before
installing one.
If side panels are to be
used refer to pages 17 and
18, the side panel installation
section of this guide, for
specifics regarding sizing.
The installation of a Sub-Zero
is an easy task if you have
done the necessary prepara-
tion. Before bringing the unit
into a house, it should be
uncrated outside. Remove the
box and wood base and dis-
card this material. Do not
discard wood block and
hardware to be used for block-
ing your unit.
In addition retract front
leveler legs to ensure easier
movement of the unit for
installation.
ILLWARNING 1
To reduce the possibility of
the unit tipping forward, you
must reposition the front
levelers to make contact with
the floor. You will have to ex-
tend these legs when the unit
is finally positioned.
You should remove the grille
for easier transportation
through doorways and later
access to the power cord.

Remove center grille screw
and cut the red nylon shipping
strap. (NOTE: This screw must
be removed before grille is
tilted or damage can OCCUK)
Tilt the grille forward and
release the spring(s) from
behind grille. See Figure 7.
<
ShIpping Strap
A
Figure 7
To remove the 501 grille,
remove two (black) screws
located in the lowest louver
in the grille. Tilt the bottom
of the grille out and away, it
will release from the top of
the grille. There is no grille
spring on the 501 units. See
Figure 8.
6
Figure8
To remove Model 590 grille
assembly, the inner grille
panels assembly must first be
removed. Lift up (l), then pull
out at the bottom (2), then
pull top section down and out
of the top key slot (3) as in
Figure 9. Next, remove the
five mounting screws that
hold the outer grille panel
assembly to the top com-
partment. See Figure 10.
Inner Grde
Figure9
Figure10
To help prevent the unit from
tipping forward and provide
a stable installation, the unit
must be secured in place
with a solid soffit or wood
block.
If there is a solid soffit
above the unit with clearance
between the unit and the soffit
of one inch or less, as illus-
trated in Figure 11, you do not
need to block the unit. If this is
not the case, you must block
the unit.
To block the unit, using the
wood block and hardware
provided, follow these steps:
l Locate and mark two wall
studs against the wall where
the refrigerator is to be
located.
l Locate the proper height
to clear the unit. The space
along the top of the Sub-Zero
between the unit and the
bottom of the wood block
must not be greater than
V4 inch. See Figure 12.
l Position the wood block over
the unit and secure it using
the screws and “L’ brackets
provided. Make sure screws
extend a minimum of ‘/s of an
inch into each of the two wall
studs. The wood block must
extend a minimum of three
inches over the unit. See
Figure 12.
l Using the front and rear
levelers, the unit must be
raised until it contacts the
wood block. See Figure 15.
1 AWARNING 1
To reduce possibility of
cabinet tipping forward, front
levelers must be in contact
with floor. See Figure 15.
Figure11
Figure12

Shut off the power to the
wall outlet.
-1
Protect any finished flooring
before moving the unit in
place. All full size Sub-Zero
models are equipped with
rollers, so you can easily
move the unit into place.
If for any reason, the unit
has been laid on its back
or side, you must allow the
unit to stand upright for a
minimum of 24 hours before
connecting power.
-1
Plug the unit into 15 amp
grounded outlet and roll the
unit into desired position.
Now you have to connect the
ice maker water line.
Cut the red nylon shipping
strap holding the garden
hose fitting, compression nut
and sleeve to the toe plate
bracket. Connect the
V4"
compression nut and sleeve
on the copper tubing to the
hose fitting before attaching
the fitting to the solenoid
valve. Purge the water line
before the final hookup to the
valve. See Figure 13 and for
Model 590 see figure 14.

water when supplied to the
valve. Allow 24 hours for
proper ice production.)
Figure 14
With the unit positioned
properly you should level the
unit by turning the front level-
ing legs counterclockwise to
raise or clockwise to lower.
The rear levelers (rollers) are
adjusted from the front of the
base by turning the '/16" hex
bolt clockwise to raise and
counterclockwise to lower
the cabinet. See Figure 15.

For a finished look to the
Sub-Zero install the toe plate
as illustrated in Figure 16.
However, before completing
this step check to ensure
the drain pan is positioned
properly.
In all cases the toe plate
must be removable for
servicing so any flooring or
molding must allow for this
removal. Refer to the label
mounted on the kickplate
support for height clearance.

Figure16

Panel Installation
All Sub-Zero units easily
accommodate front, grille
and side panels as long as
you follow the points listed
earlier in the Integrating
Cabinetry section of this
guide. Installation is easy
following these steps.
Remove the door handle by
first removing the trim mold-
ing as shown in Figure 17
The molding easily comes off
by using a piece of tape to
pull it away from the handle.
This removal will expose the
handle screws.
With a standard Phillips
screwdriver, remove door
handle on freezer and refrig-
erator door. The models 511
and 550 freezer door handle
is on the top of the door and
removed in the same manner.
If a metal or other thin mate-
rial is used, a filler must be
inserted behind your panel to
ensure a proper fit. All frames
are designed to accept up to
%” material. Thicker pieces
must be routed to the %”
perimeter dimension. There is
a 50 lb. weight limit for each
door panel.
Figure17
Slide the appropriate panel
into the frame as illustrated
in Figure 18.
With the panel in position,
replace handle, screws and
trim molding. The molding
is replaced by bowing the
piece gently in the middle
and inserting the top and
bottom edges into the handle
channel first and then release
the middle.
Figure 18
Remove the trim molding in
an identical manner as illus-
trated in Figure 17.
Once the molding is
removed you can easily
remove the door screws on
both the refrigerator and
freezer doors by using a stan-
dard Phillips screwdriver.
Remove the handle trim
panels by sliding them out
of the door(s) as shown in
Figure 19. Complementary
colored handle trim panels
and glasswells are available
through your product
distributor.
Next, remove the ice and
water glasswell by removing
the mounting screw. Then
slide the glasswell up and pull
out as shown in Figure 19.
Figure 19

Remove the top and
bottom trim fillers held on by
the mounting screws. See
Figure 20.
In similar fashion remove
the screws holding the verti-
cal trim strip. See Figure 20.
Install the door panels by
sliding them into the frame
on the door and reverse the
earlier steps to reassemble.

If side panels are being
utilized, check with your
installer for installation
suggestions or consider
these options.
In any of these installation
alternatives, you must drill
three holes equal distance
apart in the vertical section
of the aluminum frame and
install #6 x ‘/8” pan head
screws to hold the panels in
place. See Figure 22.
Anchor the back portion
of the side panel with
decorative screws or nails.
Refer to Figures 23-27.
We do not recommend the
use of adhesives.
The dimensions supplied
are for a typical wood side
panel. If V4” panel or less is
used and inserted into the
return channel on the extru-
sion then a 24%” size iS
necessary. The sheet must
also be notched as shown
in Figure 2 1.

Planning .
Information
Before moving ahead with
any planning you should be
aware of the basic require-
ments for the installation
of a built-in Sub-Zero. The
drawings in Figures 1 and 2
illustrate the finished rough
in dimensions, electrical
and plumbing locations and
minimum door clearance for
all units.
(with leve/ers in)
(FOOTNOTE:When using frameless cabinets, you mu.9 add space to the finished rough opening to
allow for side mainframe overlap to ensure cabinet and Sub-Zero doors open properly. This space
will fluctuate depending on the installation and overall visual appearance you are trying to achieve.)
(FOOTNOTE:When insta//ing cabinets with six inch bases, add two inches to the minimum height
detailed above, if you want to make Me base of the Sub-Zero even with the cabinets.)
