Refer to the illustrations and specifications for overall dimensions, finished rough opening dimensions and installation specifics. Allow the door to open a minimum of 90 or you'll have problems removing drawers. With the door opening at 90, you may have to move drawers slightly to clear the door interior. Refer to the minimum door swing clearance in the specifications chart. For corner installations, allow for a minimum 3" (76) filler so that the door can open to 90. If you're using raised panels, consider using a wider filler. Be sure to add the filler strip width to your finished rough opening dimension. In any sideby-side installation without a filler strip, add an additional 1/2" (13) to your combined numbers. This will allow for the proper width. Refer to the full-scale illustrations at the end of this section for specifics on door openings and filler size alternatives. If your client has chosen the stainless steel design, the unit will be shipped complete with wrapped stainless steel doors and handle hardware. You will not have to install front panels. If your client has chosen the framed or overlay design, you will be adding front panels to give the unit the custom Sub-Zero look. The overlay design also allows you to add your own handles, or you may choose accessory handles available through your Sub-Zero dealer. Refer to pages 611 for detailed information on adding panels. For Built-In models with an automatic ice maker, rough in the water supply line. Connect a 1/4" OD copper line to the house supply, being sure to use an easily accessible shut off valve between the supply and the unit. Do not use self-piercing valves. A saddle valve kit (4200880) is available from your Sub-Zero dealer. To obtain local dealer information, visit the Locator section of our website, subzero.com.

A line filter is required when water conditions have a high sediment content. The ice maker operates on water pressure of 20 psi (1.4 bar) to 100 psi (6.9 bar). In some cases a reverse osmosis water filter system may not be able to maintain the minimum water pressure consistently. The water line should be routed up through the floor within 1/2" (13) from the back wall and no higher than 3" (76) off the floor. If you have to come through the wall, make sure the water line is no more than 3" (76) from the floor. Locate water supply within the shaded area shown in the installation illustration. Regardless of the routing, allow 3' (.9 m) of excess copper tubing to remain outside the wall or floor for easy connection to the unit. A 115 volt, 60 Hz, 15 amp electrical supply is required. The supply circuit for this appliance must be protected by a 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker. It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only this appliance, be provided. All Built-In models are equipped with a 6' (1.8 m) power supply cord with a 3-prong grounding plug which must be plugged into a mating 3-prong grounding type wall receptacle. Locate electrical within the shaded area shown in the installation illustration. You must follow all National Electrical Code regulations. In addition, be aware of local codes and ordinances when installing your service. To prevent the unit from tipping forward and provide a stable installation, the unit must be secured in place with an anti-tip blocking kit. If there is a solid soffit above the unit with clearance between the unit and the soffit of 1" (25) or less, you won't need to block the unit. For installations with clearances of more than 1" (25), you must block the unit with the anti-tip blocking kit (wood block and hardware) provided with each Built-In unit. Refer to the Built-In Installation Instructions packed with the appliance, which provides step-by-step procedures for making sure the unit is installed properly.

If the thickness of the custom panels is less than 1/4" (6), they must be backed up with a sheet of shim material to build the total thickness to 1/4" (6). If the panel is thicker than 1/4" (6), an edge must be routed around the panel to ensure a proper fit. Refer to the illustrations on this page. IMPORTANT NOTE: Routing, recessing or optional extended handles may be required on raised panels for finger clearance under the handle. Refer to the full-scale illustrations on pages 1215. IMPORTANT NOTE: The weight of each panel cannot exceed 50 lbs (23 kg). The traditional framed models come with an 11" (279) louvered grille and elegant full-length handle. Optional extended full-length handles that provide additional finger clearance for raised panels are available through your Sub-Zero dealer. To obtain local dealer information, visit the Locator section of our website, subzero.com. For framed door panel dimensions and dimensions for the optional panel grille for the framed application, refer to specifications on page 7. To install framed panels, refer to the installation instructions shipped with each unit. These instructions can also be found on our website, subzero.com.

The overlay design allows decorative panels to cover the door trim for a more seamless appearance that blends with the design of the room. To achieve this look, the most common way is to work with three panelsthe decorative overlay panel, a.10" (3) spacer panel and a 1/4" (6) backer panel. Depending on your cabinet manufacturer, this could be one panel routed for different dimensions or more likely, three different panels. Regardless of the physical construction of the panels (routing or three panel assembly), you will need to follow the exact dimensions and panel placement to ensure a proper fit. The top illustration on this page is a cross section view of the three panel assembly showing placement of the door / drawer / grille trim. The bottom illustration shows a rear view of the three panel assembly and critical dimensions, standard for all overlay models. Overlay models will come with no handle hardware, because the beauty of this design is that you can match the surrounding cabinetry hardware. These models will come with an 11" (279) panel grille which will accept decorative panel inserts to match the look of the door panels. For overlay door and grille panel dimensions, refer to specifications on page 9. IMPORTANT NOTE: Keep in mind that the Sub-Zero door panels have the potential for hitting adjacent cabinets and/or countertops when they are opened. You need to be aware of your surrounding cabinetry and space limitations when using the overlay models. Refer to the full-scale illustrations on pages 1415.

Side panels can be used with the framed, overlay and stainless steel design applications. When planning for side panels with the installation of the Built-In model, you need to be aware of space configuration to achieve a pleasing fit. Depending on the exact panel you are using with your unit, the height of the panel will vary. Cut-outs around the toe kick and grille area are required if a 1/4" (6) thick panel will be inserted into the main frame channel. The panel will need to be 24" (610) deep. Refer to the illustration on this page for placement of toe kick and grille area cut-outs. If a 3/8" (10) thick panel is used, the panel will abut the main frame and should be 23 7/8" (606) deep. The toe kick area may or may not be cut out depending on the look you want to achieve.

Overlay models come without handle hardware. The beauty of this design is that you can match the surrounding cabinet hardware. You or the cabinet manufacturer must provide handle hardware to match the overall decorating scheme. The handle hardware must be installed before installing the panel assembly. Use larger D-style handles. If screws with thick heads are used, the screws will need to be countersunk into the door before the panel is put into place. Refer to the full-scale illustrations on pages 1213 for handle hardware considerations. IMPORTANT NOTE: Sub-Zero does not recommend using single pull knobs on any of its Built-In models. Optional stainless steel handles are available in a variety of diameters and lengths in the classic, platinum and carbon stainless steel finishes and polished chrome.

Refer to the illustrations and specifications for overall dimensions, finished rough opening dimensions and installation specifics. Allow the doors to open a minimum of 90 or you'll have problems removing drawers. With the doors opening at 90, you may have to move drawers slightly to clear the door interior. Refer to the minimum door swing clearances in the specifications chart. For corner installations, allow for a minimum 3" (76) filler so that the door can open to 90. If you're using raised panels, consider using a wider filler. A 90 door stop is available as an accessory. Be sure to add the filler strip width to your finished rough opening dimension. In any sideby-side installation without a filler strip, add an additional 1/2" (13) to your combined numbers. This will allow for the proper width. Refer to the full-scale illustrations at the end of this section for specifics on door openings and filler size alternatives. If your client has chosen the stainless steel design, the unit will be shipped complete with wrapped stainless steel doors and handle hardware. You will not have to install front panels. If your client has chosen the framed or overlay design, you will be adding front panels to give the unit the custom Sub-Zero look. The overlay design also allows you to add your own handles, or you may choose accessory handles available through your Sub-Zero dealer. Refer to pages 610 for detailed information on adding panels. For Built-In models with an automatic ice maker, rough in the water supply line. Connect a 1/4" OD copper line to the house supply, being sure to use an easily accessible shut off valve between the supply and the unit. Do not use self-piercing valves. A saddle valve kit (4200880) is available from your Sub-Zero dealer. To obtain local dealer information, visit the Locator section of our website, subzero.com.
A line filter is required when water conditions have a high sediment content. The ice maker operates on water pressure of 20 psi (1.4 bar) to 100 psi (6.9 bar). In some cases a reverse osmosis water filter system may not be able to maintain the minimum water pressure consistently. The water line should be routed up through the floor within 1/2" (13) from the back wall and no higher than 3" (76) off the floor. If you have to come through the wall, make sure the water line is no more than 3" (76) from the floor. Locate water supply within the shaded area shown in the installation illustration. Regardless of the routing, allow 3' (.9 m) of excess copper tubing to remain outside the wall or floor for easy connection to the unit. A 115 volt, 60 Hz, 15 amp electrical supply is required. The supply circuit for this appliance must be protected by a 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker. It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only this appliance, be provided. All Built-In models are equipped with a 6' (1.8 m) power supply cord with a 3-prong grounding plug which must be plugged into a mating 3-prong grounding type wall receptacle. Locate electrical within the shaded area shown in the installation illustration. You must follow all National Electrical Code regulations. In addition, be aware of local codes and ordinances when installing your service. To prevent the unit from tipping forward and provide a stable installation, the unit must be secured in place with an anti-tip blocking kit. If there is a solid soffit above the unit with clearance between the unit and the soffit of 1" (25) or less, you won't need to block the unit. For installations with clearances of more than 1" (25), you must block the unit with the anti-tip blocking kit (wood block and hardware) provided with each Built-In unit. Refer to the Built-In Installation Instructions packed with the appliance, which provides step-by-step procedures for making sure the unit is installed properly.

The overlay design allows decorative panels to cover the door trim for a more seamless appearance that blends with the design of the room. To achieve this look, the most common way is to work with three panelsthe decorative overlay panel, a.10" (3) spacer panel and a 1/4" (6) backer panel. Depending on your cabinet manufacturer, this could be one panel routed for different dimensions or more likely, three different panels. Regardless of the physical construction of the panels (routing or three panel assembly), you will need to follow the exact dimensions and panel placement to ensure a proper fit. The top illustration on this page is a cross section view of the three panel assembly showing placement of the door / drawer / grille trim. The bottom illustration shows a rear view of the three panel assembly and critical dimensions, standard for all overlay models. Overlay models will come with no handle hardware, because the beauty of this design is that you can match the surrounding cabinetry hardware. These models will come with an 11" (279) panel grille which will accept decorative panel inserts to match the look of the door panels. For overlay door and grille panel dimensions, refer to specifications on page 9. IMPORTANT NOTE: Keep in mind that the Sub-Zero door panels have the potential for hitting adjacent cabinets and/or countertops when they are opened. You need to be aware of your surrounding cabinetry and space limitations when using the overlay models. Refer to the full-scale illustrations on pages 1314.

Side panels can be used with the framed, overlay and stainless steel design applications. When planning for side panels with the installation of the Built-In model, you need to be aware of space configuration to achieve a pleasing fit. Depending on the exact panel you are using with your unit, the height of the panel will vary. Cut-outs around the toe kick and grille area are required if a 1/4" (6) thick panel will be inserted into the main frame channel. The panel will need to be 24" (610) deep. Refer to the illustration on this page for placement of toe kick and grille area cut-outs. If a 3/8" (10) thick panel is used, the panel will abut the main frame and should be 23 7/8" (606) deep. The toe kick area may or may not be cut out depending on the look you want to achieve. IMPORTANT NOTE: The use of side panels may change the width of your rough opening.

Overlay models come without handle hardware. The beauty of this design is that you can match the surrounding cabinet hardware. You or the cabinet manufacturer must provide handle hardware to match the overall decorating scheme. The handle hardware must be installed before installing the panel assembly. Use larger D-style handles. If screws with thick heads are used, the screws will need to be countersunk into the door before the panel is put into place. Refer to the full-scale illustrations on pages 1112 for handle hardware considerations. IMPORTANT NOTE: Sub-Zero does not recommend using single pull knobs on any of its Built-In models. Optional stainless steel handles are available in a variety of diameters and lengths in the classic, platinum and carbon stainless steel finishes and polished chrome.
