ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
The Electronic Control System of your Sub-Zero
Built-In unit monitors and accurately displays
temperatures within one degree of your preset
temperature. It also monitors operation of the
unit and lets you know if there’s a problem.
You’ll find the Control Center located in the
refrigerator section of all models, except Model
ICBBI-36F where it is in the freezer section. Refer
to the illustration below.
TEMPERATURE C NTR L
Your new Built-In unit was thoroughly inspected
and tested before it was shipped from the
Sub-Zero factory. Temperatures are preset at 3˚C
in the refrigerator section and -18˚C in the freezer
section. Temperatures are displayed in the Con-
trol Center display panel.
For combination units, there are two sets of
and key pads on the Control Center, one for
the refrigerator section and the other for the
freezer section. Models ICBBI-36R, ICBBI-36RG
and ICBBI-36F have only one set of and
key pads.
To adjust the temperature in either section,
depress the or key padson the Control
Center.
The temperature ranges are -23˚C to -15˚C in the
freezer section, and 1˚C to 7˚C in the refrigerator
section. It is normal for temperatures to fluctuate
slightly, depending on external influences such
as an open door, the degree of humidity and
room temperature.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Always allow 24 hours
for the unit to reach the temperature you set.
P WER
All Sub-Zero Built-In models feature a key
pad on the Control Center. This key pad will turn
off all electrical power to the unit. When the
power is off, the OFF indicator light will be vis-
ible in the Control Center display panel. This
key pad means you don’t have to shut off power
at the circuit breaker or wall receptacle. To
service or replace a light bulb, disconnect power
supply from the receptacle before changing light
bulb. The power cord is located in the far right
corner behind the flip-up grille.
ALARM FEATURE
All Built-In models have an alarm feature with an
audible chime if the door is left ajar.
The alarm will sound after 30 seconds. It can be
deactivated by depressing the key pad. When
the alarm is activated, the indicator will be
visible in the Control Center display panel.
ICE MAKER C NTR L
Built-In models with an ice maker feature an
key pad on the Control Center. This key pad
switches the power to the ice maker system on
or off. When the ice maker system is on, the
indicator will be illuminated in the Control
Center display panel. The ice maker can also be
turned on using the key pad, activating the
Max Ice feature. The indicator will be illumi-
nated in the Control Center display panel when
this feature is on. Use the key pad to shut
down the ice maker during extended vacations.

DUAL REFRIGERATION
The Built-In line continues the Sub-Zero tradition
of superior quality and reliability. Sub-Zero pio-
neered the development of our dual refrigeration
system, giving you optimum fresh and freezer
food storage in ideal self-contained sections.
Both refrigerator and freezer maintain accurate,
consistent temperatures. Dual refrigeration
keeps your food fresh longer than any other
system available.
With dual refrigeration, the freezer maintains a
constant temperature within one degree of the
temperature you set within our range of -23˚C to
-15˚C, without unwanted moisture and odor from
the refrigerator. Similarly, you can adjust the
refrigerator temperature within a range of 1˚C to
7˚C, for proper humidity levels tailored for longer
food life expectancy.
The dual refrigeration system also means there
is no transfer of fresh food odors to frozen food
or ice. The Sub-Zero system does not freeze the
moisture out of the air in the fresh food section.
Sub-Zero dual refrigeration is also more energy
efficient than old-fashioned single refrigeration
systems. When the refrigerator is used fre-
quently during the day it does not require the
freezer to circulate its very cold, dry air to the
refrigerator. Instead, the refrigerator uses moist
air to keep fresh foods fresh and energy use
minimal.

MAX ICE FEATURE
The Max Ice feature increases the rate of ice pro-
duction for times where you need more than
normal. The increased ice production will last for
24 hours, at which time it will return to the
normal production level. You can expect about a
40% increase in ice production when this feature
is turned on.
To initiate the Max Ice feature, press the key
pad on the Control Center so that the indi-
cator is visible in the display panel. Refer to the
illustration below.
To turn off the Max Ice feature, simply press the
key pad and the unit will return to normal
ice production.
ICE MAKER OPERATION
The ice maker in your Sub-Zero freezer is fully
automatic and has been tested at the factory. To
start making ice, activate the key pad on the
Control Center.
The ice maker system will not shut off if the ice
bucket is not in place.
When removing the ice bucket for an extended
period, deactivate the ice maker by depressing
the key pad on the Control Center.
ICE PR DUCTI N
The ice maker is designed to produce enough ice
for normal family use. The timing of ice-making
cycles will vary depending on load conditions,
door openings and room temperature. On
average, you can expect a cycle of ice (eight
cubes per cycle) every two hours.
The ice maker operates on water pressure of 2.1
bar to 6.9 bar. In some cases, a reverse osmosis
water filter system may not be able to maintain
the minimum pressure.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If ice is not used regularly it
tends to fuse together. To avoid this, empty and
replace the ice in the container as needed.

AIR PURIFICATION SYSTEM
All Sub-Zero Built-In models (except Model
ICBBI-36F) include an advanced air purification
system. This system reduces bacteria, odors,
and even ethylene gas, which causes premature
ripening in fruits and vegetables. The air purifi-
cation cartridge has been factory installed and is
located inside the refrigerator, on the right-hand
side of the back wall.
The air purification cartridge will last for approxi-
mately one year. The indicator will flash in
the Control Center display panel when it needs
to be replaced. To replace the cartridge, grab the
outside cover from the bottom and pull it for-
ward. It will flip up and expose another flap and
the cartridge. Refer to the illustration below. Pull
the flap forward from the top, which will cause
the cartridge to pop out of position. Remove the
cartridge.
To replace, put the new cartridge into place, with
the connector pointing down. Once in place,
close the flap until you hear a click. Then flip
down the outside cover until it closes against the
wall.
Once the air purification cartridge has been
replaced, press the keypad on the Control
Center for 5 seconds. This will reset the air purifi-
cation indicator and will no longer be displayed.

ICE DISPENSING
Models ICBBI-42SD and ICBBI-48SD have a fea-
ture that limits the maximum amount of ice that
is dispensed each time the key pad on the
glasswell is pressed.
To dispense ice, hold down the key pad for
approximately two seconds. The dispenser will
meter out ice for about two seconds, collect the
ice directly above the glass, then drop the ice
into the glass. If less ice is desired, hold the
key pad down for less than two seconds. If more
ice is desired, hold the key pad down until the
dispensing cycle repeats.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure that dispenser key
pads are clean and dry when pressed to avoid
problems with the dispenser operation.
SUB-ZER BUILT-IN USE & CARE
ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
For dispenser Models ICBBI-42SD and
ICBBI-48SD, the automatic ice and water dis-
penser gives you both ice and chilled water
without having to open doors.
ICE DISPENSER PERATI N
To operate the ice dispenser for Models
ICBBI-42SD and ICBBI-48SD, set a glass on the
water grille of the glasswell, and press and hold
the key pad on the glasswell until you have
the ice you need. For larger quantities of ice,
open the refrigerator door and place an ice con-
tainer under the dispenser chute, then press the
BULK ICE pad on the left hand wall inside the
refrigerator section. Refer to the illustration
below.
After initial ice maker start-up, discard the first
few batches of ice—they may be discolored by
the new system plumbing.
Initially, for water to dispense properly, the
key pad must be depressed and held until water
flows from the dispenser. You may have to hold
the key pad for 60 seconds for water to fill the
internal reservoir tank.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The chilled water reservoir
tank is mounted inside the refrigerator section. It
will take several hours to chill the water to the
refrigerator temperature during the original fill
or after a lot of water is used.
DISPENSER LIGHTS
For dispenser models, there are three lighting
states than can be cycled by pressing the key
pad on the glasswell.
All lights OFF
All lights ON (blue key pad and white
glasswell)
Key pad lights ON only
During water or ice dispensing, all lights will illu-
minate until dispensing is complete, then lights
will return to their previous state.
ICE DISPENSER PERATING TIPS
If there’s no ice, make sure the ice maker
system is turned on and indicator is illu-
minated in the Control Center display panel.
Make sure there is a supply of ice in the ice
bucket. See Ice Bucket Removal, page 9.
Make sure the ice bucket is all the way in and
engaging the auger motor at the back of the
bucket. If it is not all the way back, push on
the ice bucket and depress the key pad on
the glasswell at the same time.
Press the key pad on the glasswell. If you
do not hear auger motor noise, wait five min-
utes, then try again. If you do not hear auger
noise after the second try, contact your
Sub-Zero dealer.
If the ice dispenser is not used for a long
period, the ice may fuse together. To avoid
this, empty the ice bucket as needed.
WATER DISPENSER PERATI N
To operate the water dispenser for Models ICBBI-
42SD and ICBBI-48SD, set a glass on the water
grille of the glasswell, and press and hold the
key pad on the glasswell until the glass is filled.
The first time you use the water dispenser, purge
the water system and storage tank for three min-
utes. This will clear out any air in the system,
along with foreign material in the new plumbing
connection.

SUB-ZER BUILT-IN USE & CARE
OPERATIONS
D R AND DRAWER CL SING
Over-and-under models: Your refrigerator door
has a door closing cam to help in closing the
door. With the door opened to about 110°, the
cam will hold in the open position if the door is
stopped. As you close the door, the cam will take
over at about 15° to help close the door.
Your freezer drawer has a self-closing mecha-
nism. The incline, built into roller assemblies on
the drawer, uses gravity to assist in closing the
drawer.
If your Built-In unit is positioned in a corner, you
may want to install an optional door stop, which
limits door opening to 90°. This door stop is pro-
vided with each Built-In model and is shipped in
a plastic bag in the grille area.
D R CL SING
All refrigerator, all freezer and side-by-side
models:
Your refrigerator and freezer doors have
spring-loaded closure mechanisms. As the doors
are closed, the door closure engages to help
close and seal the doors. A 90° door stop is pro-
vided with each unit and is shipped in a plastic
bag in the grille area.
C NDENSER FAN M T R
All Sub-Zero Built-In models have a fan behind
the grille to cool the compressor area. This fan
runs with either compressor.
AUT MATIC DEFR ST
Your Sub-Zero unit is equipped with an auto-
matic defrost system. The refrigerator section
will defrost during each off cycle of the refriger-
ator compressor. The freezer section is con-
trolled by an energy-saving Adaptive Defrost
system, which defrosts as needed.
S UNDS
You may hear some noises in the normal opera-
tion of the unit. Surrounding acoustics like walls,
floors and cabinets may affect the sound of your
unit. For example, a gurgling or running water
sound is probably refrigerant circulating through
the tubing. In Models ICBBI-42SD and ICBBI-
48SD, the ice dispenser motor inside the refriger-
ator door closes five seconds after either the
or key pad is released.
During the ice maker cycle you may hear the
sound of ice dropping into the container or the
water valve operating while refilling the ice
maker with water. During the freezer defrost you
may hear crackling and/or sizzling as the heat
from the defrost element clears the frost from
the freezer coil and water runs into the water
pan.
While the compressors are in operation, you
may hear a slight hum. During the start-up and
shutdown of the compressor, you may feel vibra-
tion for a few seconds.
Some of these noises may be enhanced when
the unit door(s) are open.
VA CATION TIME
For extended vacations, shut off power to the
unit. Empty the unit and block the doors open
slightly. A 25 mm space will let fresh air in to
keep the interior dry and fresh.
For short vacations, remove all perishable items.
Shut off the ice maker and empty the ice bucket.
Do not change the control settings.
If the unit is put into service temporarily and
later shut off, block the doors open to allow
fresh air to circulate inside the unit. Be sure to
shut off power to the unit.
If your religious observances (Sabbath Mode)
require turning off the lights and ice maker, see
Sabbath Mode, page 8.
ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
DISPENSER WATER GRILLE
For dispenser models, a water grille at the base
of the glasswell will catch and evaporate small
spills. Because there is no drain in this area, do
not pour water into the water grille. To clean the
area, remove the water grille by pressing the
front left corner of the grille and lifting it out.
LCK
For dispenser models, the lock feature is used to
prevent unintended ice and water dispensing.
When the dispenser is locked, all key pads on the
glasswell are deactivated to allow cleaning or to
prevent small children from using the dispenser.
To activate the lock feature, hold down the
key pad on the glasswell until the key pad lights
flash once and the red icon is illuminated
(approximately five seconds). The lights will
remain in the state they were in before the lock
feature was activated.
To deactivate the lock feature, hold down the
key pad until the key pad lights flash once and
the red icon is no longer illuminated
(approximately five seconds). The lights will
remain in the state they were in before the lock
feature was deactivated.
Be sure to block doors open when unit is not
in service. Moisture buildup during even the
shortest amount of run time could attack the
interior metal surfaces.
CAUTION

C NDENSER CLEANING
In all Sub-Zero Built-In models, the condenser is
located behind the grille. First, pull out on the
bottom edge of the grill and tilt forward. Then
using a soft bristle brush, vacuum to remove
dust and lint from the condenser. Refer to the
illustration below for location of the condenser.
NOTE: To avoid bending the condenser fins, be
sure to vacuum in the direction of the fins (up
and down). Clean the condenser area every three
to six months.

CLEANING
STAINLESS STEEL EXTERI R
Classic stainless steel finish: To clean the exte-
rior of the classic stainless steel finish, use a soft,
nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner and apply
with a soft 100% lint-free cloth.
Different light types and source locations can
result in variations in shading on different com-
ponents and areas of large appliances.
To bring out the natural luster, lightly wipe the
surface with a water-dampened microfiber cloth
followed by a dry polishing chamois. All work
should follow the grain direction of the finish.
Better results are obtained by keeping the cloth
in continuous contact with the stainless steel.
INTERI R CLEANING
To clean interior surfaces and removable parts,
wash with a mild solution of soap and lukewarm
water with a little baking soda. Rinse and dry
thoroughly. Avoid getting water on lights, Con-
trol Center and display panel.
GLASSWELL CLEANING
To clean the glasswell of Models ICBBI-42SD and
ICBBI-48SD, use a mild solution of soap and
water with a little baking soda. Wipe up spills
after removing the dispenser water grille.
For the stainless steel areas of the glasswell on
Models ICBBI-42SD and ICBBI-48SD, you may
use the Stainless Steel Exterior cleaning proce-
dure.

KEEPING F D AT ITS BEST
KEEPING FOOD FRESH
Your Sub-Zero unit features our unique dual
compressor refrigeration system to keep food
fresher longer. However, the quality and safety of
your food also depends on how you handle it.
The information in this section gives you the
most up-to-date handling and storage recom-
mendations to help you keep food at its best. If
you have specific questions that are not
addressed here, contact a University or County
Extension Service or your local utility company.
Most food inevitably deteriorates over time.
From the very beginning until it is consumed,
food undergoes changes. Microorganisms get
into food, multiply and cause spoiling.
Enzymes that occur naturally in food continue
the ripening process even after the food is har-
vested. Improper temperatures cause food to
deteriorate faster. Changes in humidity cause
wilting and shriveling that can lead to spoiling.
Sub-Zero’s dual refrigeration system is specifi-
cally designed to combat these changes and
keep your food fresh longer. The individual
refrigerator and freezer systems have been
designed to maintain accurate, consistent tem-
peratures and proper humidity levels for longer
food life expectancy. Dual refrigeration elimi-
nates transfer of fresh food odors to frozen food
or ice and does not freeze the moisture out of
the air in the fresh food section.
In addition, good handling practices can mini-
mize the rate of changes in food.
HANDLING REC MMENDATI NS
•Follow the recommended storage times and
temperatures in this guide. Your Sub-Zero
unit helps to slow the ripening process by tai-
loring temperatures to each section as
needed.
•Use specially designed compartments for
dairy foods, deli foods and fresh produce.
These compartments maintain temperature
and humidity levels that keep specific food
groups fresh.
•Rotate food in refrigeration units, using a
first-in, first-out system.
•When food does spoil, it’s usually obvious. It
becomes moldy, has an off-odor and looks
rotten. But there are times when spoiling may
not be so apparent. If you think a food has
been stored too long, discard it. Don’t taste it
to check if it’s okay.
KEEPING FOOD SAFE TO EAT
Most food-borne illness is caused by bacteria
such a Staphylococcus,Salmonella,E-coli and
Clostridium botulinum, the bacteria that causes
botulism. These bacteria grow rapidly at temper-
atures between 4˚C and 60˚C, a range that’s
called the
Danger Zone . Never leave food in the
danger zone for more than two hours. When the
bacteria have multiplied to the millions in warm
temperatures, they cause illness. Some bacteria
cause flu-like symptoms, while others cause
serious illness or even death. Young children, the
elderly and people who are already ill are more
likely to become sick from food poisoning.
To reduce your risk of food-borne illness, use the
following techniques to keep your food safe to
eat:
WHEN Y U’RE SH PPING
•Place packages of raw meat, seafood or
poultry in plastic bags to keep them from
dripping on other foods.
•Shop for meat, seafood and poultry last.
Don’t leave these foods in a hot car when
you’ve finished shopping. Take along a cooler
in hot weather or when you have to travel
long distances.
•Check
use by and sell by dates on foods to
make sure they’re fresh. Use extra care when
buying deli food. Buy only the amount you
will use in 1–2 days. Discard hot or cold deli
food that has been at room temperature for
more than two hours.
WHEN Y U ST RE F D
•Monitor temperatures of the refrigerator and
freezer sections on the electronic control
panel of your Sub-Zero unit. Keep the refrig-
erator temperature at 4˚C or below and
freezer temperature at -18˚C.
•Follow the recommended refrigerator and
freezer storage times and temperatures in
this guide.
•Store raw meat, poultry and seafood separate
from other foods. Keep juices from these
packages from dripping on other food.
•Never taste food that looks or smells strange
to test its freshness. Discard it.
•For refrigerator storage, leave raw meat,
poultry and seafood in its original wrapper
unless it is torn. Repeated handling can intro-
duce bacteria to these foods.
•Wrap food stored in the refrigerator unit in
foil or plastic wrap, or place it in plastic bags
or airtight containers to keep it from drying
out. Date all packages.
•For freezer storage, use freezer wrap, freezer-
quality plastic bags or aluminum foil over the
commercial wrap if foods will be stored in the
freezer for more than a couple of months.
This minimizes dehydration and quality loss.
Single layers of aluminum foil may tear and
cause freezer burn.

16
KEEPING F D AT ITS BEST
KEEPING FOOD SAFE TO EAT
WHEN Y U PREPARE F D
•Clean everything that comes in contact with
food.
•Wash your hands for 20 seconds before and
after handling food.
•Sanitize counters, equipment and utensils
after handling raw meat, seafood or poultry.
Rinse with a diluted chlorine bleach solution,
5 ml to 1 L of water.
•Use clean kitchen towels, sponges and cloths.
Replace sponges every few weeks.
•Use disposable plastic gloves if you have an
infected cut or burn on your hands.
•Thaw food in the refrigerator or microwave
oven, not on the counter. When you thaw
food in a microwave oven, cook it immedi-
ately.
•Marinate food only in the refrigerator.
•Rinse poultry and seafood in cold water
before cooking.
•Avoid cross-contamination in preparing food.
Keep raw meat, poultry and seafood and their
juices away from other food. For example,
don’t use the same surface and utensils for
preparing raw meat, poultry and seafood that
you use for preparing salad ingredients.
•Thoroughly clean your plastic and wooden
cutting boards. Wash with hot water and soap
and rinse with a diluted chlorine bleach solu-
tion of 5 ml to 1 L of water.
WHEN Y U C K F D
•Cook meat to an internal temperature of 75˚C
or above, poultry to 80˚C or above. For cuts
more than 51 mm thick, use a meat ther-
mometer to check the temperature. For
thinner cuts, clear juices (not pink) are a sign
of doneness.
•If you are cooking frozen meat or poultry that
has not been defrosted, increase the cooking
time to 11/2times the time required for
thawed items.
•Roast meats or poultry in oven temperatures
of 165˚C or above.
•Cook eggs until the yolk and white are firm,
not runny.
•Don’t use recipes in which eggs remain raw
or partially cooked.
•If your microwave has a temperature probe,
use it. Check temperatures of meat and
poultry in at least three spots. Rotate foods
during microwaving.
•Don’t taste raw or partially cooked meat,
poultry, eggs or fish.
FRESH FOOD STORAGE
Shelf life of fresh foods varies depending on
how fresh it is when you buy it. To keep your
food fresher longer, follow the recommended
storage tips.
Vegetables: Wash vegetables in cool water and
drain. Store in airtight containers or plastic wrap.
Vegetables stay fresh longer in high humidity
storage.
Fruits: Wash and dry fresh fruits. Store more
aromatic fruits in plastic bags. Most fruits stay
fresh longer in low humidity storage.
Prepackaged Meats: Store in original pack-
aging. After opening, rewrap tightly in plastic
wrap or aluminum foil.
Fresh Meats, Fish and Poultry: Remove store
wrappings, then rewrap in plastic wrap, foil or
waxed paper and refrigerate immediately.
Eggs: Store eggs unwashed in their carton or a
portable egg tray. Use within 3 weeks.
Milk, Cream and Cottage Cheese: Keep carton
closed. Store on refrigerator shelf and use within
1–2 weeks.
Cheese: Store in original packaging until ready
to use. After opening, rewrap tightly in plastic
wrap or aluminum foil.
Leftovers: Let cool and cover tightly with plastic
wrap or foil. Airtight plastic containers work well
to prevent drying out and odor transfer.
ETHYLENE
Some fruits and vegetables will produce eth-
ylene, a gas that initiates the ripening process.
Ethylene can cause premature ripening in some
foods, while in others, it can actually cause
damage. To reduce unnecessary spoilage of your
fresh produce, do not store ethylene producing
fruits and vegetables with those that are eth-
ylene sensitive. Refer to the chart on page 18.
WHEN Y U HAVE LEFT VERS
•Refrigerate or freeze cooked leftovers in
small, covered containers within 2 hours after
cooking. Make sure there is adequate air
space around the containers so that food can
cool down quickly.
•Remove the stuffing from meat or poultry and
store it separately.
•Date packages of leftovers and use within a
safe period of time.
•Cover and reheat leftovers thoroughly before
serving.
•Bring sauces, soups and gravy to a boil. Heat
other foods to 75˚C.
•If you think food may be spoiled, discard it.
When in doubt, throw it out.

17
FROZEN FOOD STORAGE
Freezer Storage: Wrap foods in material
designed for frozen food storage. The wrap must
seal out air and moisture.
Do not refreeze
thawed meats.
Ice Cream:
The firmness of the ice cream will
depend on its cream content. Higher quality ice
creams usually have a higher cream content,
requiring colder freezer temperatures to main-
tain their firmness. Soft ice cream is not always
an indication of a temperature problem.
Make sure your refrigerator and freezer doors
close freely and completely. Overloading will
affect temperatures inside the unit. Do not fill
your freezer with large quantities of unfrozen
foods expecting them to fast freeze. Give the
freezer ample time to circulate cold air around
unfrozen items before adding additional items.
SUGGESTED FOOD STORAGE
The food storage charts on the following pages
give you specific information to help you keep
food safe and keep it at its best quality. The rec-
ommended storage temperatures will help you
determine optimal storage conditions for your
food. As a general rule, food that is handled
properly and kept at temperatures below 4˚C will
be safe to eat.
Storing food at temperatures below 4˚C keeps it
out of the
Danger Zone . The storage times for
refrigeration will help keep food from spoiling or
becoming dangerous to eat. The time limits for
frozen foods are to maintain flavor and texture.
Food kept frozen longer than the recommended
time will still be safe to eat, but its quality may
diminish.

Fully ripe fruits should be stored in the refrigerator at recom-
mended temperatures to slow down the ripening process.
To hasten the ripening process, you can place unripe fruit in a
paper bag that has holes poked in it. Close the bag and set it
on a counter. The fruit will produce ethylene, a gas that initi-
ates the ripening process. Check the bag each day.

TR UBLESH TING GUIDE
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ICE PR DUCTI N
IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure that the power is
on for your ice maker. The indicator will be
visible in the Control Center display panel.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Dispose of the first two
buckets of ice produced by your new unit to
ensure that pipe residue or other particles asso-
ciated with new water lines are not consumed.
Q: My ice maker isn’t producing very much ice.
A: On average, you can expect a cycle of ice
(eight cubes per cycle) every two hours.
Increased ice production can be achieved
with the Max Ice feature.
Q: My ice is freezing together and clumping.
A: If ice is not used regularly it tends to fuse
together. You may need to discard the ice and
allow ice to be replenished.
N ISE
Q: Why do I hear my unit running constantly?
A: It is normal to hear the operation of fans and
motors. Sounds will be accentuated based on
the placement of the unit and overall room
design.
TEMPERATURE
IMPORTANT NOTE: Unless the unit is being
serviced, make sure the power for your unit is
on. If the unit is not on, OFF will be visible in the
Control Center display panel.
Q: How do I adjust the temperatures?
A: To adjust temperatures, refer to Temperature
Control, page 7.
Q: What are the suggested temperature set-
tings?
A: The recommended settings are 3˚C for the
refrigerator section and -18˚C for the freezer
section.
Q: Condensation is forming on the inside and
outside of my unit.
A: In climates with higher humidity, condensa-
tion will form and is considered normal.
Leaving the door open for a long period of
time may also contribute to condensation
forming on the inside your unit.
Q: My unit isn’t cooling properly.
A: Clean the condenser area as outlined on page
13.
D R PERATI N
Q: Why is my door hard to open?
A: Your unit was designed for an airtight seal. A
vacuum seal can form after the door is
closed. Wait several seconds for pressure to
equalize before reopening the door.
Q: The door on my unit is opening too fast and
hitting the wall or surrounding cabinets.
A: The unit may not be leveled properly or a
door stop may be required. Install the
optional 90° door stop provided with the unit.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If your Built-In unit is not operating properly, use
the following troubleshooting guide before con-
tacting your Sub-Zero dealer. This guide will
save you time and trouble and may help you
avoid the expense of a service call.
The indicator is illuminated or flashing in
the Control Center display panel.
•The microprocessor has sensed a problem
with the operating system. There may be
instructions in the Control Center display
panel to solve the problem.
•This may also indicate that the condenser
needs cleaning. Follow the Condenser
Cleaning procedure outlined on page 13.
•If this occurs, turn the unit off with the key
pad and then restart by depressing the key
pad again. If the indicator is still present,
contact your Sub-Zero dealer.
The flashing with audible chime and
indicators are both flashing in the Control
Center display panel.
•Check for excess water near the unit. If you
see excess water, turn off the water at the
shut-off valve. Also, verify temperatures
inside the unit and manage the contents
accordingly. Once you have verified there is
an issue, contact your Sub-Zero dealer. The
audible chime can be reset for 24 hours by
holding the key and depressing the
key.
Refrigerator/Freezer is not running.
•Is there electrical power to the unit?
•Is the home circuit breaker or fuse off?
•Is the refrigerator/freezer control on?
•Is the condenser area clean?
•Has a door or drawer been left open for an
extended period? Be sure that food is not
obstructing proper door or drawer closing.
•Has one section been manually disabled? See
Cleaning Combination Units, page 13.
•If the unit is still not running, it may be in
defrost mode.
•Wait 30 minutes and try to restart again.
Refrigerator/Freezer is warmer than usual.
•Is the control set properly?
•Is the condenser area clean?
•Has a door or drawer been left open for an
extended period? Be sure that food is not
obstructing proper door or drawer closing.
•Has a large amount of food been added
recently?
