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.

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)

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.

Water Line

MODEL DEU2450CI

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.
