Introducing New Built-In Refrigeration

The importance of the installation of the Sub-Zero built-in

unit cannot be overemphasized. Installation should be

done by a qualified installer.

Before you begin the installation process, it is recom-

mended that you read this entire installation guide. There

are key details that you should take special care to

observe during the installation. By reading these instruc-

tions carefully, you will make the installation process

easier, problem-free and, most importantly, safe.

Any questions or problems regarding the installation

should be directed to your Sub-Zero dealer or Sub-Zero

customer service at 800-222-7820. You may also check

the contact & support sectionofour website, subzero.com.

Important product information, including the model and

serial number of your unit are listed on the product rating

plate. The rating plate is located at the top frame of the

unit inside the door. Refer to the illustration.

I PORTANT NOTE: Throughout this guide, dimensions in

parentheses are millimeters unless otherwise specified.

Installation Preparation 4

Installation Preparation

Make sure that the actual equipment that was shipped to

you matches the design you are expecting to install. The

Sub-Zero built-in line offers the following design alterna-

tives: framed, overlay, flush inset and stainless steel

models. The overlay model has two design applications,

overlay and flush inset.

Each of these design options has specific installation

requirements, which means it is vital that the unit match

your planning and space needs. Before you begin the

installation process, check the exact model number you

need against the model number on the shipping carton.

If the unit you receive does not match your requirements,

contact your Sub-Zero dealer.

TOOLS AND ATERIALS REQUIRED:

•Phillips screwdriver set

•Slotted screwdriver set

•Torx drive screwdriver set

•4' (1.2 m) of 1/4" copper tubing and saddle valve for the

water line (4200880)—do not use self-piercing valves

•Copper tubing cutter

•Level—2' (.6 m) and 4' (1.2 m) recommended

•Appliance dolly able to support 700 lbs (317 kg) and

adequate manpower to handle the weight of the unit

•Various sized pliers

•Wrench set

•Allen wrench set

•3/8" hex bolt nut driver

•Crescent wrenches

•Cordless drill and assorted drill bits

•Masonite, plywood, 1/8" pressed fiberboard, cardboard

or other suitable material to protect finished flooring

•Appropriate materials to cover and protect the home

and its furnishings during installation

Installation Preparation 5

Site Preparation

Make sure that the finished rough opening where the

built-in unit is being installed is properly prepared. Refer to

the overall dimensions and installation specifications for

your specific model on the following pages. These specifi-

cations are identical for the framed, overlay and stainless

steel applications. Installation specifications are different

for the flush inset application, whether you are using

custom panels or Sub-Zero accessory flush inset panels.

Make sure that the rough opening dimensions, door swing

clearance, electrical service and plumbing are correct for

the model you are about to install.

If you are installing two built-in units side by side in the

framed, overlay, flush inset or stainless steel application, a

separating filler strip is recommended. Add the filler strip

width to the finished rough opening dimension.

For installation of two built-in units side by side without a

filler strip, a dual installation kit will be necessary.

I PORTANT NOTE: To operate properly, the door must

open a minimum of 90°. Use a minimum 3" (76) filler in

corner installations to assure a 90° door opening. Allow

enough clearance in front of the unit for full door swing.

I PORTANT NOTE: Make sure the floor under the unit is

level with the surrounding finished floor.
