BUILT-IN INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS

INSTALLATION

RECOMMENDATIONS

The importance of the installation of the
Sub-Zero Built-In unit cannot be overempha-

ized. Installation should be done by a

s
qualified installer.

Before you begin the installation process, it
is recommended that you read this entire

nstallation Instructions book. There are key

I
details that you should take special care to
observe during the installation. By reading
these instructions carefully, you will make the
installation process easier, problem-free and,
most importantly, safe.

Any questions or problems about the
installation should be directed to your
Sub-Zero dealer or the Sub-Zero Customer
Service Department at 800-222-7820 or e-mail
[e-mail]. You can also
visit our website at subzero.com.

BUILT-IN INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS

INSTALLATION

SPECIFICATIONS

Make sure that the actual equipment that was
shipped to you matches the design you are

xpecting to install. The Sub-Zero Built-In line

e
offers the following design alternatives—
framed, overlay and stainless steel models.

Each of these design options has specific

nstallation requirements, which means it is

i
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

ake sure that the finished rough opening

M
where the Built-In unit is to be installed is
properly prepared. Refer to the Overall Dimen-

ions and Installation Specifications for your

s
specific model on the following pages. These
specifications are identical for each of the
design alternatives—whether your model is
framed, overlay or stainless steel. 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 Built-In units side by side,
a separating filler strip is recommended. Add
the filler strip width to the finished rough
opening dimension. Complete the installation
with the Anchoring Kit (part #4200900), see
page 21.

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.

BUILT-IN INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

A 115 V AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit breaker and

lectrical supply are required. A separate

e
circuit, servicing only this appliance, is
required.

All Sub-Zero Built-In models are equipped with
a power supply cord with a 3-prong grounding

lug, which must be plugged into a mating

p
3-prong grounding-type wall receptacle. Follow
the National Electrical Code and local codes
and ordinances when installing the receptacle.
For location of the electrical supply, refer to the
Installation Specifications illustration for your
specific model on pages 5–7.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

A ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) is not recommended and
may cause interruption of operation.

Do not use an extension cord or two­prong adapter. Electrical ground is
required on this appliance. Do not remove
the power supply cord ground prong.

PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS

For Built-In models with an automatic ice

aker, rough in the water supply line. Connect

m

1

a

/4" OD copper line to the house supply. Use
an easily accessible shut-off valve between the
water supply and the unit. This valve is usually
placed about 6" (152) from the compression
fitting. Do not use self-piercing valves. A
saddle valve kit (part # 4200880) is available
from your Sub-Zero dealer.

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 the water
supply is brought in from behind the unit,
route the water line through the back wall, no
more than 3" (76) from the floor. Regardless of
the routing, allow 3' (1 m) of excess copper
tubing to remain outside the wall or floor for
easy connection to the unit. For location of the
water supply, refer to the Installation Specifica­tions illustration for your specific model on
pages 5–7.

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).

The outlet must be checked by a qualified
electrician to be sure that it is wired with
the correct polarity. Verify that the outlet

ovides 115 volts and is properly

pr
grounded.

A reverse osmosis system can be used,
provided there is a consistent water pressure
of 20 psi (1.4 bar) to 100 psi (6.9 bar) supplied
to the water valve at all times.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

In some cases a reverse
osmosis water filter system may not be able to
maintain the minimum water pressure consis­tently.

Good water is impor

tant for high quality ice.
It is not recommended that the ice maker be
connected to a softened water supply. Water
softener chemicals, such as salt fr

om a
malfunctioning softener, can damage the ice
maker mold and lead to poor ice quality. If a
softened water supply cannot be avoided, it is
important that the water softener be well main­tained and operating properly.

millimeters unless otherwise specified.8
