INSTALLATION NOTES
Refer to the illustrations and specifications
for overall dimensions, finished rough opening
dimensions and installation specifics.
Model 648PROG can be used free-standing
or installed as a standard or flush built-in appli-
cation. 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 648PROG 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 648PROG 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
a1/4"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 648PROG, 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.

cause interruption of operation.
Model 648PROG 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.
