Born of 100% steel (and maybe a bit of brashness),
the Model 648PRO is no less than a masterpiece of
preservation. Its sculpted metal, dual refrigeration and
advanced controls marry performance, and design in a
bold new way for home refrigeration. So it not only
keeps foods magnificently fresh, it keeps kitchens in
rather remarkable form. The Model 648PRO is just the
latest, sleekest example of how Sub-Zerokeeps
rewriting the rules of preservation and attraction.
The Sub-Zero Model 648PRO side-
by-side refrigerator/ freezer is available
in the stainless steel design application
with classic stainless steel finish only.
Model 648PRO can be built-in or, with
the free-standing accessory kit, used in
afree-standing application.

INSTALLATION NOTES
Refer to the illustrations and specifications
for overall dimensions, finished rough opening
dimensions and installation specifics.
Model 648PRO can be used free-standing or
installed as a standard or flush built-in applica-
tion. For standard built-in installations, the face
frame of the unit will extend 2" (51) beyond
cabinetry. In flush built-in installations, the front
of the face frame will be flush with surrounding
cabinetry.
The depth of Model 648PRO from the back
of the unit to the front of the face frame is
25 7/8"(657). In flush built-in applications, your
design may necessitate moving the unit back,
or cabinets forward to achieve a flush fit.
The anti-tip bracket must be installed to
prevent the unit from tipping forward.
Allow the doors to open a minimum of 90˚ or
you'll have problems removing shelves. With
the door opening at 90˚, you may have to move
shelves slightly to clear the door interior. Refer
to the minimum door swing clearance in the
specifications chart.
For corner installations, allow for a minimum
3" (76) filler so that the door can open to 90˚.
Model 648PRO comes with an automatic ice
maker and an integrated water filtration system.
This system operates on water pressure
between 35 psi (2.4 bar) and 120 psi (8.3 bar).
To rough in the water supply, connect a 1/4"OD
copper line to the house supply,being sure to
use an easily accessible shut-off valve between
the supply and the unit.
Do not use self-piercing valves. A saddle
valve kit (4200880) is available from your
Sub-Zero dealer. To obtain local dealer informa-
tion, visit the Locator section of our website,
subzero.com.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Areverse osmosis system
can be used with Model 648PRO, provided
there is constant water pressure of 20 psi (1.4
bar) to 120 psi (8.3 bar) supplied to the unit at
all times. In this application, the integrated
water filtration system must be set to bypass
mode. This is achieved by removing the water
filter cartridge. Refer to the PRO 48 Installation
Instructions packed with the unit.
The water line should be routed up through
the floor within 1/2"(13) from the back wall and
no higher than 3" (76) off the floor. If you have
to come through the wall, make sure the water
line is no more than 3" (76) from the floor.
Locate water supply within the shaded area
shown in the Installation illustration.
Regardless of the routing, allow a minimum
of 36" (914) of excess copper tubing to remain
outside the wall or floor for easy connection to
the unit.
A115 V AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp electrical supply
is required.The supply circuit for this appliance
must be protected by a 15 amp fuse or circuit
breaker.It is recommended that a separate
circuit, serving only this appliance, be provided.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Aground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) is not recommended and may
cause interruption of operation.
Model 648PRO is equipped with a 6' (1.8 m)
power supply cord with a 3-prong grounding
plug which must be plugged into a mating
3-prong grounding-type wall receptacle. Locate
