Site Preparation
The depth of each model is 23⁄" (587). Allow for panel
thickness when planning the finished opening depth. A
minimum 3⁄" (89) finished return is required on all sides of
the opening. Framed cabinets require additional finished
filler material behind the face frame for a proper installa-
tion. Refer to the illustration.
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 below.
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
Customer Care at 800-222-7820.

Plumbing Requirements
MODEL DEU2450CI
Installation must comply with all applicable plumbing
codes.
For ease of installation, recess the water shut-o into the
wall or place it in an adjacent cabinet. Locate the water
supply line within the shaded area shown in the illustra-
tion below. Connect the water supply line to the house
supply with an easily accessible shut-o valve. Do not use
self-piercing valves.
An in-line filter is required when water conditions have a
high sediment content.
A reverse osmosis system can be used provided there is
constant water pressure of 35–120 psi (2.4–8.3 bar) supplied
to the unit at all times. A copper line is not recommended
for this application.
PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
Water Supply Line ⁄" OD copper, braided
stainless steel, or PEX tubing
Water Pressure 35–120 psi (2.4–8.3 bar)
Excess Water Line for Connection 5' (1.5 m)
Preparation
Uncrate the unit and inspect for damage. Remove and
recycle packing materials. Do not discard the kickplate,

Anti-Tip Bracket
WARNING
To prevent the unit from tipping forward, the anti-tip
bracket must be installed.
The anti-tip bracket should be attached to the wall behind
the unit with the bracket flange located ⁄" (6) above the
top of the unit. Refer to the illustration below. Failure to
properly position the anti-tip bracket will prevent proper
engagement.

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.

CAUTION
Before moving the unit into position, secure the door

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. For model
DEU2450CI, insert the water supply line into the hole on
the back of the unit. Refer to the illustration below. Pull the
excess water line forward as the unit is slid into the open-
ing. Verify the anti-tip bracket is properly engaged.

Under the unit, ⁄" plastic tubing is connected to the unit
with a preassembled ⁄" compression connection. The
water line fitting connection kit, provided with the unit,
contains a ⁄" compression union fitting for connection to
the household water line.
Purge the water line prior to final connection to the unit.
This will remove any debris that may be present in the
tubing from installing the new water line. Connect the
plastic tubing from the unit to the house water supply line
with the fitting connection kit provided. Refer to the
illustration below. Check all water line fittings for leaks.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Water lines cannot be exposed to
freezing temperatures.

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. A decorative kickplate cannot be
attached to the outdoor model.
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.

La profundidad de cada modelo es de 23⁄" (587). Para
determinar la profundidad de la abertura ya con acabados,
considere el grosor del panel. Se necesita un tubo de
retorno de 3⁄" (89) con acabados en todos los lados de la
abertura. Los gabinetes con marco necesitan material de
relleno de acabado detrás del marco frontal para lograr
una instalación adecuada. Consulte la ilustración.
INSTALACIÓN DOBLE
Si se instalan dos unidades lado a lado, puede ser necesario
un kit de instalación doble. Las instalaciones sin una tira de
relleno personalizada requieren un kit de instalación doble.
Si el uso de un kit de instalación doble no está especificado,
se recomienda utilizar una tira de relleno de 2" (51) entre las
unidades. Las instalaciones dobles sin una tira de relleno
solo se pueden realizar cuando se utilizan dos unidades
con bisagras opuestas. Revise las siguientes ilustraciones.
Los kits de instalación doble están disponibles a través
