DUAL INSTALLATION
If two units are installed side by side, a dual installation kit
may be required. Installations without a custom filler strip
require a dual installation kit. If a dual installation kit is not
specified, a 2" (51) filler strip is recommended between the
units. Dual installations without a filler strip can only be
accomplished using two units with opposite hinges. Refer
to the illustrations.
Dual installation kits are available through an authorized
Sub-Zero dealer. For local dealer information, visit the find
a showroom section of our website, subzero.com. For
questions regarding the installation, call Sub-Zero Cus-

interruption of operation.
The electrical outlet must be positioned with the ground-
ing prong to the right of the thinner blades.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Electrical Supply 115 VAC, 60 Hz
Service 15 amp dedicated circuit
Receptacle 3-prong grounding-type
CAUTION
The outlet must be checked by a qualified electrician
to be sure it is wired with the correct polarity. Verify
the outlet is properly grounded.
WARNING
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly quali-
fied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
WARNING
Do not locate multiple portable socket-outlets,
power strip, or portable power supplies at the rear of
the appliance.

Placement
CAUTION
Before moving the unit into position, secure the door
closed and protect any finished flooring.
WARNING
When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply
cord is not trapped or damaged.
Use an appliance dolly to move the unit near the opening.
If the unit has been on its back or side, it must stand
upright for a minimum of 24 hours before connecting
power.
Plug the power cord into the grounded outlet and slide
the unit into position. Verify the anti-tip bracket is properly
engaged.
Site Preparation
90° Door Stop
The door stop pins provided with the unit limit the door
swing to 90°.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If a 90° door opening is desired, the
pins must be installed prior to installing the unit into the
opening.
To install, open the door to approximately 80°. Insert one
pin into each hinge. Refer to the illustration below.

LEVELING
Once the unit is in position, rotate the front legs clockwise
to raise and counterclockwise to lower. Rear height adjust-
ment can be made from the front. Using a Phillips drive,
turn clockwise to raise the unit or counterclockwise to
lower. Use the lowest torque setting when using a power
drill. Do not turn the leveling legs by hand. Refer to the
illustration below.
When the unit is properly leveled, door adjustments are
less likely to be necessary.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Level the unit to the floor, not the
surrounding cabinetry. This could aect the operation of
the unit, such as door closing.
WARNING
To reduce the possibility of the unit tipping forward,
the front leveling legs must be in contact with the
floor.

ing cabinetry. Allow for panel thickness. Once aligned,
verify the door opens properly, then install a #8 x ⁄" flat-
decorative head screw in each bracket.
WARNING
To avoid a hazard due to instability of the appliance,
it must be fixed in accordance with the instructions.

Custom Panel
A custom door panel and handle hardware must be
installed.
A ⁄" (16) minimum to ⁄" (19) maximum thick panel is
required. The panel cannot exceed the maximum panel
weight indicated in the chart below. The depth of each
model is 23⁄" (587). Allow for panel thickness when plan-
ning the finished opening depth.
Minimum ⁄" (3) reveals are required.
PANEL WEIGHT MAX

DOOR PANEL INSTALLATION
Placement of the template must be adjusted for panels
exceeding the typical dimensions.
Place the panel face down on a protected work surface.
Position the template flush with the top and sides of the
panel. Verify the correct side of the template is being used,
then mark and drill pilot holes. Refer to the illustration
below.
Use a Torx drive to partially insert a #8 x ⁄" screw into the
second hole from the top on each side of the panel. The
screws should be approximately ⁄" (4) proud of the panel
and will support the weight of the panel during installation.
Align the support screws on the back of the panel with the
slotted holes on both door mounting brackets. Refer to
the illustration below. Opening the door slightly may help
with alignment. Once the panel is supported by the screws,
partially insert a #8 x ⁄" screw into the second hole from
the bottom on each side of the panel, but do not tighten.
CAUTION
As reveals between cabinetry and the unit decrease,
severe finger pinching can occur while the door is
closing.

DOOR PANEL ADJUSTMENT
Close the door. Make any necessary adjustments to align
the panel and reveals.
For side-to-side adjustment, move the panel side to side,
then install and tighten all mounting screws.
For up-and-down and in-and-out adjustments, slightly
loosen the bracket screws. Depending on the level of
adjustment required, it may be helpful to loosen all of the
bracket screws which will allow for maximum adjustment.
Once the bracket screws are loosened, use a wrench to
rotate the cams to make adjustments. After the adjust-
ments have been made, tighten all bracket screws. Refer to
the illustrations below.

The kickplate must be removable for service. The floor
cannot interfere with removal. Finger-tighten the adjust-
ment bracket nuts. Refer to the illustration below. Make
in-and-out adjustments, then wrench-tighten the bracket
nuts. Install the kickplate with the provided screws.
A decorative kickplate can be attached to the factory-
installed kickplate. The three rows of vented louvers
cannot be covered.
To install a decorative kickplate, remove the paper backing
from the magnets and attach the decorative kickplate to
the magnets. The magnets allow the decorative kickplate
to be removed if necessary.

DOOR TRIM INSTALLATION
After the door panel has been adjusted, install the deco-
rative side trim to the door. To install, start at the top
and align the trim with the front and rear flanges on the
bracket, then snap into place by pushing the trim toward
the back of the panel. Once the top is secure, continue the
installation downward until the remaining trim is com-
pletely secure. Refer to the illustration below.
SIDE TRIM INSTALLATION
Install the decorative trim strip to the handle side of the
unit. The side trim snaps over the brackets attached to the
handle side of the unit. Refer to the illustration below.
