Make sure that the actual equipment that was shipped to you matches the design you are expecting to install. The

Sub-Zero built-in line offers the following design alternatives: framed, overlay, flush inset and stainless steel models. The overlay model has two design applications, overlay and flush inset.

Each of these design options has specific installation requirements, which means it is vital that the unit match your planning and space needs. Before you begin the installation process, check the exact model number you need against the model number on the shipping carton.

If the unit you receive does not match your requirements, contact your Sub-Zero dealer.

Site Preparation

Make sure that the finished rough opening where the built-in unit is being installed is properly prepared. Refer to the overall dimensions and installation specifications for your specific model on the following pages. These specifications are identical for the framed, overlay and stainless steel applications. Installation specifications are different for the flush inset application, whether you are using custom panels or Sub-Zero accessory flush inset panels.

Make sure that the rough opening dimensions, door swing clearance, electrical service and plumbing are correct for the model you are about to install.

If you are installing two built-in units side by side in the framed, overlay, flush inset or stainless steel application, a separating filler strip is recommended. Add the filler strip width to the finished rough opening dimension.

For installation of two built-in units side by side without a filler strip, a dual installation kit will be necessary.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To operate properly, the door must open a minimum of 90°. Use a minimum 3" (76) filler in corner installations to assure a 90° door opening. Allow enough clearance in front of the unit for full door swing.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure the floor under the unit is level with the surrounding finished floor.

Plumbing Requirements

Plumbing Requirements

All built-in models with an automatic ice maker come with a microbiological water filtration system. The water supply line should be located within the shaded area shown in the illustration. The water line should be connected to the house supply with 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. The water supply line must not interfere with installation of the anti-tip brackets.

IMPORTANT NOTE: A reverse osmosis system can be used provided there is constant water pressure of 30 psi

(2.1 bar) to 100 psi (6.9 bar) supplied to the unit at all times. In this application, the microbiological water filtration system should be set to bypass mode by removing the water filter cartridge and inserting the bypass plug

(7011209) available from your Sub-Zero dealer. Installation instructions packed with the unit will outline this procedure.

IMPORTANT NOTE: All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

It is not recommended that the ice maker be connected to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals, such as salt from a malfunctioning softener, can damage the ice maker and lead to poor ice quality. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, be sure that the water softener is well maintained and operating properly.

Unpack the Unit

Uncrate the unit and inspect for any damages. Remove the wood base and discard the shipping bolts and brackets that hold the wood base to the bottom of the unit. Remove and discard all packing materials.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not discard the kickplate, anti-tip brackets and hardware. These items will be needed for installation.

Retract the front leveling legs all the way up to allow the unit to be moved into position more easily. You will extend the leveling legs when the unit is in its final position to reduce the possibility of the unit tipping forward.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The rear levelers must be in their lowest position in order to push the unit back into the rough opening. Therefore, leveling cannot be completed until the unit is in position.

Remove the drain pan from the base of the unit to avoid damage to the drain pan, and allow for proper placement of the appliance dolly.

Grille Removal

In order to prevent damage to the grille and to access the power cord, the top grille assembly should be removed prior to moving the unit.

To remove the grille assembly, pull out on the bottom edge of the grille and tilt upward. Loosen the back two grille mounting screws and remove the front two grille mounting screws. Refer to the illustrations below. With the grille held firmly, pull forward to remove.

To reinstall the grille, insert the grille into position and be sure that the grille catch tabs are engaged. Reinstall the front two grille screws, then retighten the back two grille screws. Check for proper fit.

GRILLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

The grille was designed to rest on the upper door hinge(s) to minimize the reveal between the top of the door and bottom of the grille. To eliminate potential interference of the grille and hinge, the grille height can be adjusted.

Loosen the four grille adjustment screws (two on each side) and adjust the grille height as needed. For screw location, refer to the illustration below.

Be sure to secure the door(s) closed before moving the unit.

Use a carbide drill bit manufactured within ANSI

B94.12-77.

2) Assemble the washer and nut flush with the end of anchor to protect threads. Drive the anchor through the material to be fastened until the washer is flush with the surface material.

3) Expand the anchor by tightening the nut 3–5 turns past hand-tight position or to 25 foot-pounds of torque.

Make sure there are no electrical wires or plumbing in the area which the screws could penetrate.

Always wear safety glasses and use other necessary protective devices or apparel when installing or working with anchors.

Anchors are not recommended for use in lightweight masonry material such as block or brick, or for use in new concrete which has not had sufficient time to cure. The use of core drills is not recommended to drill holes for the anchors.

Position the Unit

Use an appliance dolly to move the unit near the rough opening. Each built-in unit is equipped with rollers, so it can be moved into position more easily.

Shut off power to the electrical outlet. Plug the power supply cord into the 15 amp grounded outlet and roll the unit into position. Be sure that the anti-tip brackets are properly engaged.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If possible, keep the door(s) closed until the unit is properly anchored.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If for any reason the unit has been laid on its back or side, you must allow the unit to stand upright for a minimum of 24 hours before connecting power.

Protect any finished flooring before moving the unit into place.

To reduce the possibility of the unit tipping forward, the front leveling legs must be in contact with the floor once the unit is in position.

Water Line Connection

Approximately 3' (.9 m) of 1 /

4

" plastic tubing is connected to the unit with a preassembled 1 /

4

" compression connection at the end. This tubing is located under the unit.

The water line fitting connection kit, provided with the unit, contains a 1 /

4

" compression union fitting for connection to the household water line. Place the compression nut and sleeve on the water line and fasten to the connection at the end of the tubing under the unit. Do not over tighten.

Check all water line fittings for leaks. Make sure that the drain pan can be installed or removed without any water line interference.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure to 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If a reverse osmosis system used, it is recommended that the water filter be bypassed. Refer to information on water filter bypass mode on page 22.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Let your customer know that the ice maker will not produce ice immediately, and that the first few batches of ice produced should be discarded. Allow

24 hours for proper ice production.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Caution must be taken not to expose the refrigerator and/or water lines leading to the refrigerator to freezing temperatures. Exposure could cause damage to the product and home.


Level the Unit

Once the unit is in position, extend the front leveling legs down by turning the legs clockwise to adjust the height.

The rear height adjustment can be made from the front of the base. Use a 3 /

8

" socket to adjust the rear rollers. Turn the 3 /

8

" hex bolt clockwise to raise the unit or counterclockwise to lower it.

When the unit is leveled properly, or squared off, door and/or drawer adjustments are less likely to be necessary.

Refer to the illustration below for location of the rear roller base adjustment.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure to reference leveling of the unit to the floor and not to surrounding cabinetry. This could affect the operation of the unit, such as door closing.

Anchoring

After door and side panels have been installed, the unit has been leveled and door adjustment completed, anchor the built-in unit to the opening. This will assure a proper fit and a secure installation.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure to level and square the unit before anchoring it.

To anchor the top of the unit to cabinetry, open the grille, and install the screws provided through the grille frame into the cabinetry. There are several hole locations provided. Check for proper door clearance by fully opening the door. Refer to the illustration below.

To anchor the bottom of the unit, drive a screw through the side hole inside the roller base assembly. There is one on each side. The screw will need to go in at an angle in order to attach properly. Refer to the illustration below.

Additional material may be needed behind the cleat to ensure sufficient anchoring.

Complete the Installation

Before installing the kickplate, be sure to reinstall the drain pan. Once the drain pan is in place, screw the kickplate the to brackets attached to the inside surface of each roller base.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The kickplate must be removed for servicing. The floor cannot interfere with removal. Refer to the label mounted on the kickplate support for height clearance.

Reinstall the grille following the instructions on page 15.

Turn power back on to the electrical outlet.

If the screws provided are not suitable for your application, you must provide adequate screws.

1-800-222-7820.

Panel Installation

Before you begin installing panels, refer to the panel specifications for framed, overlay or flush inset applications and be sure you are working with the panel design called for in your installation. If your customer has chosen the stainless steel design, the unit has been shipped complete with a finished stainless steel look. It will not be necessary to install panels or handle hardware. In your final preparation for stainless steel units, use a stainless steel cleaner to remove any marks. Abrasive cleaners should not be used, as they may scratch the surface.

If your customer has ordered either a framed or overlay model, you will be installing panels to give the unit the custom Sub-Zero look.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For overlay models, there are two design applications, overlay and flush inset. Be sure to use the correct panel sizes for your application.

Panel Installation

Framed Panels

If your customer has chosen a framed design application, make sure that the panels you are about to install match dimensions listed in the framed panel specifications on pages 26–27. Additional panel design information can be found in the Sub-Zero built-in design guide and on our website, subzero.com.

If the thickness of the custom panel is less than a 1 /

4

" (6), back it up with a sheet of shim material to build the total thickness to a 1 /

4

" (6). If the panel is thicker than a 1 /

4

" (6), rout an edge around the panel to achieve a proper fit.

Refer to the illustrations.

IMPORTANT NOTE: On all built-in models, routing, recessing or optional extended handles may be required on raised panels for finger clearance under the handle.

Framed Panels

To install framed panels, the door handle(s) must be removed. To install framed panels, first remove the door trim molding. For side-by-side models and the upper door for over-and-under models, insert a screwdriver tip into the top corner slot on the handle side and pop out the trim molding. Refer to the illustration below.

For the drawer on over-and-under models, insert a screwdriver tip into the slot on either side of the trim molding running along the top of the drawer, and pop out the trim molding. Refer to the illustration below.

With a screwdriver, remove the handles from the freezer and refrigerator doors. Slide the panel into the frame on the door. With the panel in position, replace the handles.

Be sure the panel is inserted completely into the channel for proper fit and alignment. Refer to the illustration below.

To reinstall the trim molding, insert the top of the trim molding into the grooves at the top of the door and work downward, snapping the trim molding into the clips on the handle.

For the drawer on over-and-under models, start at one end and move towards the opposite end, snapping the trim molding into the clips on the handle.

Raised Panels

You may have to rout, recess or use optional extended handles with some door panel designs to allow for finger clearance. This is particularly true if your unit has raised panels greater than 1 /

4

" (6) total thickness.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not exceed the maximum per panel weight for your specific model. Refer to the chart on the previous page.

Check the location of offset when you’re using specific routing for the grip area only. Refer to the Sub-Zero built-in design guide for a full-scale template of the standard full-length handle and panel. Use this grid template to lay out your panel design for finger clearance when standard full-length handles are used.

Overlay Panels

If your customer has chosen an overlay design application, make sure that the panels you are about to install match dimensions listed in the overlay panel specifications on pages 30–31. Additional panel design information can be found in the Sub-Zero built-in design guide and on our website, subzero.com.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The size of the overlay panel is critical. It must fit over the door frame. Also, do not exceed the maximum per panel weight for your specific model. Refer to the chart below.

Overlay models are shipped without handle hardware.

The cabinet manufacturer or designer will need to provide handle hardware to match the overall decorating scheme.

To install overlay panels, first remove the door trim molding. For side-by-side models and the upper door for over-and-under models, insert a screwdriver tip into the top corner slot on the handle side and pop out the trim molding. Remove the screws and frame. For the drawer on over-and-under models, insert a screwdriver tip into the slot on either side of the trim molding running along the top of the drawer and pop out the trim molding.

Remove the screws and frame. Refer to the illustrations on page 25.

Sub-Zero allows a 1 /

Glasswell—Dispenser Models

The dispenser area of models BI-42SD and BI-48SD has been engineered to enable the use of the overlay or flush inset panel application. Installing overlay or flush inset panels for these models is the same procedure as for other built-in models. The refrigerator door panel will need to accommodate a cut-out for the glasswell bezel.

To remove the glasswell bezel for an overlay or flush inset model BI-42SD or BI-48SD, the water grille and touch pad must be removed. Lift the water grille up and out. Next, remove the touch pad assembly by removing the center plastic mandrel supports. Carefully tilt the touch pad out and disconnect the wire harness (blue side up) from the back side of the touch pad. Remove the bezel by removing the four screws.

Insert the overlay or flush inset panel into the door trim.

Reverse the procedure to install the bezel, touch pad and water grille. To install the plastic rivets, insert rivets through the touch pad and into the control housing and secure by pressing mandrels into the body of the rivets.

Refer to the illustrations below.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The total panel thickness (including backer and spacer, if used) in the glasswell bezel area can range from 1 /

4

" (6) to a maximum of 1 1 /

8

" (29). If the panel is thicker, provisions must be made to rout out a space to accommodate the bezel surrounding the glasswell.

Grille Panel Assembly

Remove the grille panel assembly as described on page

15. Remove the top two corner screws and pull away the top frame. Slide the panel into position in the grille frame.

If you are using a grille panel 1 /

4

" (6) or thinner, you will need to install a filler.

Reattach the top frame by reinstalling the two top corner screws. Install the grille panel assembly onto the unit, by reversing the grille removal procedure outlined on page 15.

Refer to specifications for overlay grille panels on pages

30–31 and the illustrations on the previous page for the exact sizing of all three panels.

Do not exceed the panel dimensions listed for the appropriate overlay grille panel you are specifying.

The overlay decorative panel cannot be any larger or it may restrict the air flow to the compressor area and cause problems with the operation of the

Sub-Zero unit.

Flush Inset Panels

If your customer has chosen the flush inset panel application, make sure that the panels you are about to install match dimensions listed in the flush inset panel specifications on pages 34–35. Additional panel design information can be found in the Sub-Zero built-in design guide and on our website, subzero.com.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The size of the flush inset panel is critical. It must be sized correctly for a proper fit inside the opening.

Overlay models are shipped without handle hardware.

The cabinet manufacturer or designer will provide handle hardware at the job site to match the overall decorating scheme.

To install flush inset panels, first remove the door trim molding. For side-by-side models and the upper door for over-and-under models, insert a screwdriver tip into the top corner slot on the handle side and pop out the trim molding. Remove the screws and frame. For the drawer on over-and-under models, insert a screwdriver tip into the slot on either side of the trim molding running along the top of the drawer, and pop out the trim molding.

Remove the screws and frame. Refer to the illustrations on page 25.

You must allow for 0.10" (3) space between the backer board and the decorative panel, so the panel will slide easily into the door frame.

The illustrations below provide a cross section view of the three panel assembly showing placement of the trim and a rear view of the three panel assembly with critical dimensions, standard for all models.

IMPORTANT NOTE: With the panels installed, 1 / 2 " (13) minimum reveals must be kept on all sides to ensure proper door opening and sufficient cooling of the unit.

Panel Installation

33 subzero.com

Flush Inset Panels

Install the handle hardware before inserting the panel. We recommend larger D-style pulls. The use of small, onepiece knobs is not recommended. If you use screws with thick heads, you will need to countersink the screws into the backer panel before sliding the assembly into place.

Slide the panel into the frame on the door. With the panel in position, replace the frame end. Be sure the panel is inserted completely into the channel for proper fit and alignment.

To reinstall the trim molding on side-by-side models and the upper door for over-and-under models, insert the top of the trim molding into the grooves at the top of the door and work downward, snapping the trim molding into the clips on the frame.

For the drawer on over-and-under models, start at one end and move towards the opposite end, snapping the trim molding into the clips on the frame.

Grille Panel Assembly

Remove the inner grille panel assembly as described on page 15. Remove the top two corner screws and pull away the top frame. Slide the panel into position in the grille frame. If you are using a grille panel 1 /

4

" (6) or thinner, you will need to install a filler.

Reattach the top frame by reinstalling the two top corner screws. Install the inner grille panel assembly onto the unit, by reversing the grille removal procedure outlined on page 15.

Refer to specifications for flush inset grille panels on pages 34–35 and the illustrations on the previous page for the exact sizing of all three panels.

Do not exceed the panel dimensions listed for the appropriate flush inset grille panel you are specifying. The flush inset decorative panel cannot be any larger or it may restrict the air flow to the compressor area and cause problems with the operation of the Sub-Zero unit.

Dual Installations

When two built-in units are installed side by side, a

Sub-Zero built-in dual installation kit may be required.

Contact your Sub-Zero dealer for the proper components and installation instructions. For questions relative to the installation, call Sub-Zero at 800-222-7820. To obtain local dealer information, visit the showroom locator section of our website, subzero.com.

DUAL STANDARD INSTALLATIONS

Two framed, overlay or stainless steel units may be placed side by side in a dual installation. Some dual standard installations will require a dual installation kit, available through your Sub-Zero dealer.

A custom filler strip can be used in between two units in a framed, overlay or stainless steel design application. It is recommended that the filler strip be at least 2" (51) wide, to prevent condensation between the units. Be sure to add the filler strip width to your rough opening width.

Dual installations without a filler strip can only be accomplished using two units with opposite hinges as shown in illustration A below. The dual installations shown in illustrations B and C require a filler strip.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For the application shown in illustration A, a dual installation accessory kit is required.

DUAL FLUSH INSET INSTALLATIONS

Installing two built-in models side by side in a flush inset application will require adjustments to the dimensions of your finished rough opening, panel sizes and panel offsets.

It will also require a dual installation kit, available through your Sub-Zero dealer.

Dual installations without a filler strip can only be accomplished using two units with opposite hinges as shown in illustration A below. The dual installations shown in illustrations B and C require a filler strip. Illustration A is the only application that will accommodate the dual wide grille.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The application shown in illustration A can only be achieved by installing dual flush inset panels.

Failure to install dual flush inset panels will cause the handle side of the panels to collide when closing. In this application a dual installation accessory kit is also required.

Dual flush inset panels and dual installation kits are available through your Sub-Zero dealer. Refer to page 38 for dual flush inset panel specifications.

Flush Inset Panels—Dual Installation

When installing two built-in models side by side in a flush inset application, you must decrease the width of the decorative flush inset panels by 1 /

". Adjustments to the panel offsets will also need to be made. These adjustments are needed to achieve a proper fit and to ensure the panels do not collide when closing. Panel dimensions in the chart below have been adjusted to reflect the decrease in panel dimensions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If a filler strip is not used, dual installations can only be accomplished using two units with opposite hinges.

Illustrations A–F provide panel offsets and reveals for all built-in models in a flush inset application. Refer to the chart below for reference to the illustrations relating to your specific model. All reveals are 1 /

2

CUSTOM SIDE PANEL INSTALLATION

The custom side panel will need to be a minimum of 24"

(610) deep and 1 /

2

" (13) thick. Refer to the custom side panel dimensions illustration for additional specifications.

Routing will be necessary for the side panel to fit flush against the side of the unit. Refer also to the routing detail illustration.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The overall height on the side panel will vary with the height of the grille being used. Make sure you know your finished height before cutting any panels.

Install the brackets provided in the kit onto the side panel in the locations shown in the illustration below. The front brackets are meant to engage the mainframe and the back brackets will wrap behind the unit when the panel is in place. Screws are provided in the kit. If the provided screws will not work for your installation, you will need to provide the necessary screws to attach the brackets.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have a model BI-30U, BI-30UG,

BI-36U or BI-36UG, extra routing will be necessary to avoid having the panel hit the refrigerator lower hinge plate.

Place the panel at a 75° angle and engage the front brackets into the mainframe. Swing the panel inward, being sure that the front brackets engage the mainframe.

With the panel in position, attach the rear brackets to the rear of the unit with the screws provided. Check to see that the panel is secure. Refer to the illustration below.
