UNDERCOUNTER

All Sub-Zero undercounter units are manufactured in a manner to achieve a total built-in appearance. This allows you to choose the decorative material and color application for the front of your refrigerator/freezer. To install front panel on all Sub-Zero freezer models: 1. Remove door handle. Handle is located on the top on 221M and 245 models, and on the side on other models. Handle is held on with Phillips head screws. 2. Slide 1/4 thick panel into frame on door. Door must be open 90 on 245 models. If a thinner panel is used, install chipboard filler panels behind the trim panel for proper fit. IMPORTANT: Routing may be required on some panels for finger clearance under handle. 3. With panel in position, replace handle. Replace and tighten all screws. Do not overtighten and strip screws. Refer to Figure E schematic drawing for front panel dimensions.

TEST CYCLING THE MODULAR JCEMAKER
DO NOT MANUALLY ADVANCE EJECTOR ARMS OR THE DRIVE GEAR AS IT WILL DESTROY THE MAIN ASSEMBLY
Although the icemaker looks about the same as the compact icemaker from the outside, some significant electrical design changes have been made behind the cover and in the control box area. he design of this icemaker allows all of the components to be tested without removini the icemaker. Repairs should be completed by a factory authorized service agency.

TEST CYCLING THE COMPACT ICEMAKER
_ltmay be necessary on occasiontotest-cycle an icemakerto check its operation.This can bedone on the repair bench or while mounted in the appliance. If the icemaker is in an operating appliance, take precaution against condensate by allowing cold metal components to warm before the the front cover. The appliance cabinet wiring can be usedto operate the icemaker. A special icemaker test cord can be made for bench repair using the cabinet icemaker connector. The same cord made for the Remote Valve type icemaker can be used (see figure A). To manually start a cycle, first remove the front cover by prying loose a coin at the bottom of the support. Please use the blade of a flat with screwdriver in the slot located on the drive gear (see figure B). Turn counter-clockwise the holding switch clicks in and circuit is made until to the icemaker motor. The icemaker will then complete its cycle itself.

22lM #272342 TO #509240

*Refer to next page for new style 22IM The model 22IM. between serial #272342 to 509240 has the double evaporator system, with one evaporator under the icemaker assembly and the other located in the back of the compartment behind the duct cover. This unit makes ice at -10 degrees Fahrenheit and stores it at 2D degrees Fahrenheit. Prior to serial #301252, this equipment used our control $3-01-238-0. After serial #301252, we utilize our control #3-01-244-0. At a #7 setting the cut-out temperature will be about -5 degrees Fahrenheit and the cut-in will be 5 degrees Fahrenheit. At the #1 setting, the cut-out will be 5 degrees Fahrenheit and the cut-in will be 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Changes to be aware of relative to this equipment are listed as follows: Charge - Use 6.5 oz. F-l2 freon prior to serial #301252; 5.5 oz. F-l2 between serial #301252 and #M423535, and 6.0 oz. F-l2 starting with serial #H423535. Run Time - 85% (while making ice). 2. Pressures - 4-5 PSIG cut-out; 34-35 PSIG cut-in. Control Specifications - See paragraph above. :: Compressor - Use #3-11-068-0. 2: Timer - Use #3-08-105-0 (twice daily defrost), Time Delay Relay - Use #4-20-015-0 prior to serial #272342; use #3-06-012-0 after 7. serial #272342.

A gravity cam type door closing mechanism has been incorporated into all model We feel this closer will alleviate most of 2OlR. 2OlFD. 2OlRIM and 2OllICE. the problems associated with the bouncing of these large doors.
If you service a unit with the specific cam assembly broken or cracked you DO NOT have to order the complete door closer kit. The bottom door hinge cam (right or left swing) is identified by part #3-42-069-0. The bottom cabinet hinge is identified by part #3-42-068-1 for right hand swing and #3-42-068-2 Please be aware that if the screw holding the cam for left hand swing. assembly becomes loose, it may be necessary to use some loctite #371 (part #619-023-0) to assure a tight fit.
201 FIELD DOOR CLOSER KIT Over the years, we've received complaints on these large doors bouncing open due to the size and the weight of the doors. Because of this, we have established a gravity type door closer kit, which can be used to eliminate this problem. This kit, #4-20-023-0 (right hand) and #4-20-024-0 (left handJ can be used between serial #234227 and #338384. These kits are not covered as a warranty item, but are considered a field accessory and can be purchased through your Parts Distributor. Beginning with serial #338385, this closer is a factory standard. UNDERCOUNTER DOOR CLOSER KIT Beginning with serial #356747, undercounter models 244RFD and the entire 249 series will have door closers. This door closer is similar to those used on built-in units, except that it is mounted on the side of the base. For units prior to serial #356747 an "add-on" door closer kit is available These door closers are the same type which is through your Parts Distributor. There are two now incorporated on the undercounter 244 and 249 models. different kits avilable; part #4-20-026-0 for right hinged units and part #4-20-027-0 for left hinged units. Please be aware that the "add-on" door closer kits ARE NOT a warranty item, but an accessory. All units built after serial #356747 will have the closer installed. UNDERCOUNTER DOOR SWING CHANGE KIT With an increasing demand for left and right handed hinged products we have made both products available. Therefore, beginning with shipments dated after 5-18-84 the following swing change kits are available at a charge to the customer. To change the swing frotn right to a left swing order part #4-20-025-0; left to right swing order part #4-20-025-1. Also, if after the kit has been installed, a door adjustment is necessary, it IS NOT covered by the factory warrranty.

CRISPERS FALLING OFF TRACKS
If this does occur, please note the amount of the crisper may be prevalent. "flange" or edge that comes in contact with the crisper rollers on the slides, The flange should rest on the full width of the roller. If not, the crisper
If a situation occurs where the crispers have a tendency of falling off when removing them from the refrigerator section, a spacing or alignment problem
could fall off the slide roller when removing the crisper. A shim (part W~~;~Ol-0) can be.put,behind the slide roller to move the roller inward If this doesn t seem to be enough, shimming behind the slide and the tank wail can be done, Thin door spacers or washers can be used to accomplish this.
WATER IN BOTTOM OF REFRIGERATOR SECTION
If the presence of water occurs in the bottom of the refrigerator compartment, a careful examination of the drain trough assembly should be made. In some cases, the foam tape used to seal the drain trough to the refrigerator back wall may be ineffective and the defrost water will leak through the seal. If this occurs, we recommend that a small bead of silicone sealer be applied to the top edge of the drain trough, thereby eliminating any further chance of water leakage past this edge.

ICE FORMATION

On model 2711 and 2811 - if an icing condition occurs on the right hand side wall near the drain, possibly extending down the right hand side to the freezer slide assembly preventing the door from opening properly. Pull the cal rod heater down to make contact with the evaporator assembly and silicone around the evaporator cover at the drain end.

EVAPORATOR OPERATION

MODELS 245, 249FF and 801RFD A fan motor is located in the freezer section on the models listed above. These fans operate onlywhen the compressor is running.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL LOCATION AND ADJUSTMENTS
- Your new refrigerator and/or freezer was thoroughly inspected and tested before it was shipped from the Sub-Zero factory. During these procedures, the temperatures were preset to maintain approximately 38 degrees in the refrigerator section and approximately 0 degrees in the freezer section (except 249R). If you wish to make temperature adjustments, simply turn the temperature control dial. The higher the number the colder the temperature (#1 is the warmest and #7 is the coldest setting). For the location of the control, refer to the model of your Sub-Zero on the following pages. You should be aware it is normal for the above temperatures to fluctuate slightly, depending on external influence such as: open door for extended periods, the degree of humidity present and room temperature.4) ADJUSTMENT To adjust the freezer and refrigerator controls on our models 245, 249R, 249RP, 249FF and 801RFD, simply turn the control knob so the indicator lines up with the desired number. B) LOCATION MODEL 245 The freezer control is located on the back wall above and right of the ic_emaker assembly. (See Model 245 Features on page 3.) The refrigerator control is situated left of center at the top of the refrigerator compartment. (See Model 245 Features on page 3.) MODEL 249R (MANUAL DEFROST) The control is situated on the right hand side of the back wall in the upper freezer corn artment. See Model 249RP Features on pageant.) 1._

AUTOMATIC DEFROST INFORMATION
For your convenience, Sub-Zero has equipped the following models with an automatic defrost system: 245, 249RP, 249FF and 801RFD. NOTE: Our model 249R is not equipped with automatic defrost. To manually defrost, turn the a control knob to the off position.

SOUNDS

Certain noises may be evident with the normal operation of the unit. Surrounding acoustics like walls, floors and cabinets may affect the sound level of your unit. A gurgling sound or running water sound may be evident as the refrigerant circulates through the tubing. During the icemaker cycle, you may hear the sound of ice dropping into the bucket or the solenoid valve while refilling the icemaker 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 defrost water pan. While the compressors are in operation, a slight hum might be evident. During the startup and shutdown of the compressor, some vibration may occur lasting only a few seconds.

DOOR CLOSING

MODELS 245 and 801RFD The doors on our models 245 and 801RFD are equipped with a door closing cam system to assist in the closing of the door. As you close the door, the cam will take over at approximately the 15 degree position to assist in the closing of the door. MODELS 249R, 249RP and 249FF The refrigerator and freezer doors are both equipped with a spring-loaded door closure mechanism. As the doors are closed, the door closure engages at approximately the 15 degree position to assist the door in closing and sealing.

CONDENSER OPERATION

All undercounter units have one fan located behind the kickplate at the base of the unit. On all undercounter models the fan operates on/ywhen the compressor is running.

ICEMAKER

FOOD STORAGE SUGGESTIONS

ICE PRODUCTION

The level of ice in the ice container is controlled by an ice level arm. When the containers are filled with ice, the ice level arm senses the level and shuts down the icemaker. As ice is used, the level drops and the level arm signals the icemaker to restore ice production. These icemakers are designed to produce a more than adequate supply of ice for normal family consumption, the length of time between ice harvest cycles will vary depending on load conditions, door openings and ambient room temperatures. On the average, you can expect a harvest of ice every two hours. If ice is not used regularly, it will tend to fuse together. To avoid this, empty the ice container periodically. NOTE: To shut off icemaker, lift up icemaker stop arm to the up or off position (see Figure 1 below).

To expose the condenser, remove the kickplate at the base of the unit. To do this simply remove the screws located at each corner of the kickplate. Once the condenser is exposed, use a "soft" bristle brush and vacuum hose to remove the accumulation of dust and lint particles on the condenser (see Figure 2 below). IMPORTANT!! Failure to properly clean this area could result in temperature lost and/or possible mechanical failure of the refrigerator and/or freezer.
MODEL 249RP The light bulb (25 watt) is accessible by removing three screws which anchor the light bracket. Remove bracket and reach behind the light diffuser and unscrew bulb. To reinstall, reverse procedure. MODEL 249FF The light bulb (25 watt) is mounted behind the left side of the blower fan assembly at the top of the back wall of the freezer. Unscrew and replace. MODEL 801RFD The refrigerator light bulb (25 watt) is situated on the upper left side of the refrigerator compartment in front of the refrigerator control panel. Unscrew and replace.

VACATION TIME

For short vacations: Remove all perishable items. Shut off the icemaker (see Icemaker Operation on page 5). Do not change the settings of your controls.

Figure 2

LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT

,_k,WARNING I

For extended vacations: The control(s) to your refrigerator or freezer should be shut off. Empty all contents in the refrigerator/ freezer and wash, rinse and dry interiorof unit. Vacant homes: If for any reason this unit is put into service on a temporary basis and later shut off, the control(s) to the refrigerator or freezer should be shut off. For extended vacations or vacant homes, you should block door(s) open slightly. About one inch, so fresh air can circulate and keep interiordry. You should also turn off power to the unit or loosen light bulb(s).

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

I&CAUTION I
For your safety, the circuit breaker to the refrigerator should be shut off before replacing bulbs. Protective gloves should be worn when handling light bulbs. MODEL 245 To replace the refrigerator light bulb (25 watt), remove upper shelf and pull control knob off. Grip refrigerator control diffuser firmly on top and bottom and snap out of position. Thelight bulb is now accessible. To replace the freezer light bulb (25 watt), pull control knob off. Grip freezer control diffuser firmly on top and bottom and snap out of position. The bulb is now accessible. To reinstall, reverse procedure. MODEL 249R The light bulb (25 watt) is located beneath the freezer evaporator and is accessed by reaching up underneath behind the right hand side of the freezer section. Unscrew and replace.

We recommend for maintenance and cleaning, that the circuit breaker to the refrigerator be shut off and protective gloves be worn. For general cleaning of the refrigerator and freezer interior surfaces and removable parts, wash with a mild solution of soap and water to which a sma'r_amount of baking soda has been added. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid getting water on lights and/or control dial. To insure proper performance, the cleaning o; your unit's condenser is required. IMPORTANT!! This should be performed every 3 to 6 months under normal use and living conditions.

[&CAU'nON

The moisture developed during even the shortest amount of running time could attack the metal parts if the doors are left closed after shutting down. Be sure the doors are blocked open after any operation.

SERVICE INFORMATION

New techniques are constantly being developed. Consult the College or County Extension Service or your local Utility Company for the latest information on freezing and storing food. *U.S. Department of Agriculture Fresh Food Storage Shelf life of fresh foods may vary, depending on the freshness at time of purchase. To keep your foods fresher longer, follow the recommended storage procedures. Vegetables Wash in cool water and drain. Store in air-tight container or plastic wrap. Most vegetables should be stored in higher humidity. Fruits Wash and dry. Store in crisper compartment. More aromatic fruits should be stored in plastic bags. Most fruits should be stored in lower humidity. Prepackaged Meets Store in original packaging. After opening, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Freezer Storage Foods should be wrapped in material designed for frozen food storage. The wrap must be sealed so as not to allow air or moisture through the wrapping. DO NOT refreeze thawed meats. Ice Cream The firmness of the ice cream will depend on the cream content of the ice cream. The higher quality ice creams usually have a higher cream content requiring colder freezer temperatures to maintain its firmness. Soft ice cream is not always an indication of a temperature problem.
If Refrigerator/Freezer runs too much: Is condenser behind grille clean? (See page 6) On hot days and warmroomambients, the motorrunslonger. Havedoors been open for extended timesor largeamountsof food added?
If Refrigerator/Freezer is frosted up: Have the doors been left open? Are doors closing and sealing pr6perly?

ff you hear unusual noises: These may be normal operating sounds (See page 5 under "Sounds").
If condensation forms inside the unit: This is normal during high humidity and frequent door openings. Are doors closing and sealing properly?. If condensation forms on the outside: It is possible during periods of high humiditythat some condensation could appear. This condition will subside when humidity levels drop. If condensation is excessive, contact your Sub-Zero Factory Authorized Service Agency. Be sure doors are closed and gaskets are sealing. If it is too hot around freezer compartment (excluding 249R and 249RP): Clean condenser (see page 6).
PRODUCT LOADING SUGGESTIONS
Items that inhibit proper closing of your doors and affect the temperatures should not extend beyond the front of your shelves or beyond the face of your door shelf assemblies. DO NOT fill freezer with large quantities of unfrozen expecting to "fast freeze" these items. For best results, space out new unfrozen items to allow for air circulation.
Before ceiling serviceIf you think that your refrigerator is not operating properly, check the following before calling your Sub-Zero Factory Authorized Service Agency or dealer. This may save you time and the expense of a service call. If Refrigerator/Freezer is not operating: Is there electrical power to equipment? Is home fuse blown or circuit breaker off?. Is refrigerator/freezer control on? Is condenser clean? Has door been left open? Be sure no foods are obstructing proper door closing. If still not running, unit may be in defrost; wait 30 minutes to see if unit will restart. ff Refrigerator/Freezer Is warmer than usual: Check control for proper setting. Has door been left open too long? Have you recently added a large quantity of food? Is condenser behind grille clean? (See page 6.)
Unfrozen Fish, Meats and Poultry Remove store wrappings. Then rewrap in plastic wrap, foil or waxed paper, and refrigerateimmediately. Eggs Store unwashed in carton or portable egg tray. Use within twoweeks.
Milk, Cream, Cottage Cheese Keep carton closed. Store on refrigerator shelf and use within five days. Cheese : Store in original packaging until ready to use. After opening, rewrap tft_Jhtlyin plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

If there is odor in the unit and ice: Completely clean product (see page 6). Cover foods tightly.
