Position the Unit
If you are adding an accessory lock kit to your wine
storage unit, it should be installed before you position the
unit. The accessory lock kit and additional instructions are
available through your authorized Sub-Zero dealer, or call
Sub-Zero at 800-222-7820. You can also visit our website
at subzero.com.
I PORTANT NOTE: If for any reason the wine storage unit
has been laid on its back or side, you must allow the unit
to stand upright for a minimum of 24 hours before con-
necting power.
Plug the power cord into the grounded electrical outlet.
With power applied to the appliance, check for lighting
and cooling before going any further. Once you are satis-
fied that the unit is operating properly, shut off power to
the electrical outlet at the circuit breaker and proceed.
Pre-level the wine storage unit before sliding it into
position. Leveling cannot be completed with the unit
pushed back in the installation opening.
If a home alarm system is to be used with the wine
storage unit, the lead wires should be threaded into the
compressor compartment before you position the unit.
Refer to home alarm connections on the following page,
for the location of these lead wires. After the unit is in
position, the alarm wiring can be completed from the front.
For model 424FS , adust the leveling legs so the top of
the unit is no more than 345/8"(879) above the floor. This is
to allow the unit to engage the anti-tip bracket properly.
Center the model 424FS in front of the anti-tip bracket.
Slide the unit into position, making sure the anti-tip
bracket is engaged properly.
When the wine storage unit is installed, the anti-tip
bracket will be positioned just below the engaging bracket
on the unit. It is not necessary to raise the unit up so that
it locks into the anti-tip bracket, but the unit must be in
alignment with the anti-tip bracket.
The wine storage unit provides the best access to its
contents when the front surface of the door panel extends
out from surrounding cabinets approximately 1/4"(6). For
model 424FS , if there are no surrounding cabinet
surfaces to gauge depth, slide the unit back until it
engages the anti-tip bracket.
I PORTANT NOTE: The floor under the wine storage unit
must be at the same level as the surrounding finished floor
to allow for removal of the unit for servicing.

Level the Unit
Using an adjustable wrench or pliers, turn each of the four
leveling legs clockwise to raise the unit and counterclock-
wise to lower the unit. Refer to the illustration below for
location of the leveling legs.
For model 424 , the countertop bracket should be used
to make a solid installation. Refer to the illustration on
page 8. If this is not possible, wedge shims along the
sides and top.
Home Alarm Connections
Before the kickplate is installed, all necessary wiring
connections in the compressor compartment should be
completed.
If a home alarm system is to be installed on the wine
storage unit, the connections should be made using the
logic supplied with the alarm specifications. Refer to the
illustration for the appliance lead locations, and refer to
the following for color codes:
•Normally open contacts – white with red stripe wire
•Normally closed contacts – white with blue stripe wire
•Common – gray with white stripe wire
Use the 1/4" spade terminals or wire nuts provided to
make the proper wiring connections.
I PORTANT NOTE: If you are not responsible for alarm
system connection, this information should be supplied to
the home security system contractor.
Models 424 and 424FS Installation 11

The alarm circuit in the unit is intended as a low-
voltage, low-current device only. It should not be used
to switch line power.
Any unused terminals should be completely insulated
and all wires should be secured away from conductive
or moving components.
To reduce the possibility of the unit tipping forward, the
front leveling legs must be in contact with the floor.

Kickplate Installation
Once the unit is leveled and wiring connections made,
the kickplate can be installed. Use the two #10 x 1/2"
stainless steel screws that are provided with the kickplate.
Refer to the illustration below.
I PORTANT NOTE: The kickplate must be removed for
servicing. The floor cannot interfere with removal. The
louvered section of the kickplate must not be covered so
as to prevent air circulation.
Turn power back on to the electrical outlet.
Door Panel
ODEL 424G
Model 424 is offered in two design applications; stain-
less steel (/S) and overlay (/O). Each of these designs have
a full-view glass door.
The stainless steel model 424 /S is shipped from the
factory with the decorative stainless steel door panel and
matching handle in place.
The overlay model 424 /O is designed to accept a deco-
rative door panel to match surrounding cabinetry. The
door panel and the handle will be provided by the
customer.
Before beginning installation, check for the correct com-
ponents for the fit and finish desired. All overlay doors
require a decorative panel 233/4"(603) x 301/16"(764), a
minimum 5/8"(16) thick.
I PORTANT NOTE: For installations at or above 5,000'
(1524 m) in altitude, a special high altitude glass door unit
(HA ) must be ordered.
If you have questions, contact your authorized Sub-Zero
dealer or cabinet supplier. Additional panel information
can be found in the Sub-Zero design guide.
Models 424 and 424FS Installation 12
KICKPLATE
Kickplate installation.
A solid panel cannot be installed over the glass door,
as this may cause moisture to form behind the panel.

Overlay Door Panel
ODEL 424G
Inspect the door panel for the minimum 5/8"(16) thickness,
the finished inside edge. The glass door has a 10 lbs (5 kg)
weight limit. Refer to the wine storage section of the
Sub-Zero design guide for additional panel information.
Decide if the handle will be attached through the glass
door frame or just through the decorative door panel. If it
is just through the door panel, the handle must be
attached first.
Decorative panels are attached to the model 424 door
using #8 x 5/8" square drive screws passing through the
door frame from the rear, behind the gasket into the panel.
The door panel is marked for screw locations by the use of
tenon centers, which are temporarily inserted into the
1/4"(6) diameter holes in the front of the glass door frame.
Refer to the illustration below.
With the wine storage unit secured in position and the
door closed, the panel is held in the desired position on
the door and rapped by hand from the front, putting center
marks on the rear surface of the panel. If the door panel is
made of such a material that pre-drilling is needed, all of
the mounting holes should be marked. If not, only enough
holes to hold the panel in place temporarily, are necessary.
The door panel is then lowered from the door frame, tenon
centers removed, the door opened and the screws driven
into the panel through the black tape on the door frame,
using the center marks to locate the screws.
The screw holes inside the door are hidden under a cover
flap on the door gasket. It is necessary to lift the flap to
insert the screws. Use as many screws as necessary to
hold the door panel in place properly.
I PORTANT NOTE: After the first three or four mounting
screws are in place, but not completely tightened, close
the door and check your panel fit. This is the time to make
small adjustments. Once you are satisfied with the appear-
ance, open the door and apply the remainder of the
screws. Check all screws for tightness.
The metal frame on the glass door has numerous
mounting holes on each side of the door. This is to
accommodate the Sub-Zero accessory handles and
provide for easy attachment of the handle through the
door frame.
If you choose not to use the pre-drilled handle mounting
holes, it will be necessary to fasten the handle from the
rear of the door panel only, or drill one or more additional
holes through the metal frame of the glass door.
The cross section illustration shows how this hole passes
through the door frame. The hole center is on the small
locator groove in the front of the frame. A 1/4"(6) diameter
hole is made in the front wall of the extrusion and a 13/32"
(11) diameter hole through the rest of the frame.

I PORTANT NOTE: Install screws in all the mounting
holes in the door frame. The nature of the door panel with
a narrow outer rim and no connecting center member
requires the support provided by the glass door.
After the door panel installation is complete, apply the
cover patches or plugs provided over the holes on the
inside surface of the door.
The cover patches or plugs are part of the insulation
system on the door of the wine storage unit. Be sure to
cover all the holes in the door that were used.
The wine storage unit door is made with a sealed
double wall tempered glass core. The drill must not
contact this core when drilling. Be sure the hole is
centered on the small groove in the front of the door
frame and the drill passes squarely through the frame.
If you are inexperienced with drilling, fasten the handle
from the rear of the door panel only.

Hinge Adjustment
I PORTANT NOTE: The wine storage unit must be
installed and leveled before door hinge adjustments can
be made.
The top and bottom cabinet hinges on models 424 and
424FS are held in place with three permanent adjust-
ment screws and two shipping screws. Refer to the illus-
trations below. The shipping screws must be removed and
discarded to adjust the door alignment and fit. If no
adjustments are necessary, it is recommended that all five
screws remain in place.
On the model 424FS , only the bottom door hinge can be
adjusted. Remove and discard the two shipping screws
and loosen the three hinge screws to adjust the door.

INSTALL CONCRETE WEDGE ANCHORS:
1) Drill a 3/8"(10) diameter hole any depth exceeding the
minimum embedment. Clean the hole or continue
drilling additional depth to accommodate drill fines.
Use a carbide drill bit manufactured within ANSI
B94.12-77.
2) Assemble the washer and nut flush with the end of
anchor to protect threads. Drive the anchor through the
material to be fastened until the washer is flush with
the surface material.
3) Expand the anchor by tightening the nut 3–5 turns past
hand-tight position or to 25 foot-pounds of torque.
Always wear safety glasses and use other necessary
protective devices or apparel when installing or
working with anchors.
Anchors are not recommended for use in lightweight
masonry material such as block or brick, or for use in
new concrete which has not had sufficient time to cure.
The use of core drills is not recommended to drill holes
for the anchors.
