hank You
Thank you for purchasing your new Sub-Zero built-in unit.
With Sub-Zero, you can rely on a 60-year tradition of
quality and reliability. The built-in line brings together the
latest and finest features in home refrigeration to give you
the freshest food possible.
Sub-Zero’s design, beauty and quality are reflected in
the broad range of standard features that put Sub-Zero in
a class by itself. The custom-design appearance of the
Sub-Zero built-in line gives you options no other line
offers, whether you have chosen a framed, overlay,
stainless steel or glass door style unit.
Your Sub-Zero is protected by a warranty that is one of the
finest in the industry. Take a moment to read the warranty
statement at the end of this guide and refer to it should
service become necessary.
This use & care guide will answer most of your questions
about the features, operation and maintenance of your
built-in unit. If you have questions that are not addressed
here, call Sub-Zero customer service at 800-222-7820 or
visit our website, subzero.com.
Dual Refrigeration
The built-in line continues the Sub-Zero tradition of
superior quality and reliability. Sub-Zero pioneered the
development of our dual refrigeration system, giving you
optimum fresh and freezer food storage in ideal self-
contained sections. Both refrigerator and freezer maintain
accurate, consistent temperatures. Dual refrigeration
keeps your food fresh longer than any other system
available.
With dual refrigeration, the freezer maintains a constant
temperature within one degree of the temperature you set
within our range of -5°F (-21°C) to +5°F (-15°C), without
unwanted moisture and odor from the refrigerator. Simi-
larly, you can adjust the refrigerator temperature within a
range of 34°F (1°C) to 45°F (7°C), for proper humidity
levels tailored for longer food life expectancy.
The dual refrigeration system also means there is no
transfer of fresh food odors to frozen food or ice. The
Sub-Zero system does not freeze the moisture out of the
air in the fresh food section.
Sub-Zero dual refrigeration is also more energy efficient
than old-fashioned single refrigeration systems. When the
refrigerator is used frequently during the day it does not
require the freezer to circulate its very cold, dry air to the
refrigerator. Instead, the refrigerator uses moist air to keep
fresh foods fresh and energy use minimal.
Built-In Features 4
Built-In Features
•Classic framed design—the look that made Sub-Zero
famous—feature an innovative grille and handle design.
•Overlay models blend seamlessly into your overall
room design and complement surrounding cabinetry.
•Flush inset application for overlay models allows the
unit to be flush with surrounding cabinetry. Options
include using custom panels or Sub-Zero stainless
steel accessory panels. Stainless steel models feature
wrapped doors, tubular handles and flip-up grille,
designed specifically to enhance the aesthetics of
today’s professional looking kitchens.
•Models BI-36RG, BI-30UG and BI-36UG offer a unique
feature—a glass door. These units each come in the
framed, overlay and flush inset, or stainless steel
design and meet stringent energy requirements.
•Glass door models add a contemporary look that is
quite unique and innovative, with subdued interior
lighting.
•Shallow-depth design means access is easy to any
area of the refrigerator.
•Built-in combination models have the Sub-Zero dual
refrigeration system, which ensures the freshest food
and energy efficiency at the same time. You have
precise independent control of the refrigerator and
freezer sections.
•All built-in models have a microprocessor to give you
better control, automatic defrosting that senses, then
adapts to your use patterns, and a service indicator
light. Our microprocessor continuously monitors each
section, and should a problem arise, the processor will
turn on the indicator in the control display panel.
•Controls are up front and easy to use. They give you
digital readings for quick, easy-to-read reference.
Up-front controls also keep you informed about the
operation of the unit on a continuous basis.
•All built-in models have a flip-up grille, making it easier
to clean your condenser and access the water filter.
•Water Filtration—our microbiological water filter
ensures you have the cleanest ice and water possible.
•Air Purification—bacteria, odors and gases are
removed by this advanced air purification system.
•Bright lighting spreads even illumination throughout
each section. The source of the illumination is
concealed.
•A door alarm will let you know with an audible chime if
your refrigerator or freezer door is left ajar.
•The full-extension, high-humidity crisper drawer(s) are
large and deep, with smooth sides and removable
dividers in most models.
•The steel reinforced cantilevered glass shelves make
repositioning quick and easy. They’re easy to clean and
spill proof.
•In-door shelves are adjustable in one-inch increments
for complete flexibility.
•The dairy compartment is adjustable, with one-door
access. The dairy shelf is magnetically sealed to
maintain freshness.
•Over-and-under models offer a full-extension freezer
drawer.
•Ice maker provides high-quality, crescent-shaped ice.
•Max ice feature increases the rate of ice production for
a 24-hour period.
•Magnetic gaskets around all doors give extra-tight
seals.
•Our solid-core doors improve insulation and structural
integrity.
•Solid, adjustable kickplate gives a true built-in look and
conforms to American Institute of Architects standards.
•Sub-Zero products are covered by a two, five and
twelve year residential warranty (exclusions apply). See
warranty details at the end of this guide.
This appliance is certified by Star-K to meet
strict religious regulations in conjunction with
specific instructions found on www.star-k.org.
