Anti-Tip Bracket
WARNING
To prevent the unit from tipping forward, the anti-tip brackets must be installed.
The two anti-tip brackets must be installed exactly 24" (610) from the front of the opening to the back of the brackets and a minimum of 4" (102) from the sides of the opening. This depth will increase to 263/16" (665) for a flush inset installation, based on 3/4" (19) thick panels. Failure to properly position the anti-tip brackets will prevent proper engagement.
Use all anti-tip bracket hardware as instructed for wood or concrete floors.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For wood or concrete floor applications, if the #12 screws do not hit a wall stud or wall plate, use the #8 screws and #12 washers with the wall anchors.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In some installations the subflooring or finished floor may necessitate angling the screws used to fasten the anti-tip brackets to the back wall.

CONCRETE WEDGE ANCHOR INSTALLATION
1Drill a 3/8" (10) diameter hole any depth exceeding the minimum embedment. Clean the hole or drill additional depth to accommodate drill fines.
2Assemble 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.
3Expand the anchor by tightening the nut 3–5 turns past hand-tight position or to 25 ft-lb of torque.
WARNING
Verify there are no electrical wires or plumbing in the area which the screws could penetrate.
CAUTION
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.
Custom Panels
For overlay and flush inset applications, custom door and grille panels must be installed. Panel size is critical for a proper fit. To verify panel requirements and dimensions, refer to the Sub-Zero design guide at subzero.com/specs.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Flush inset applications require a minimum 1/2" (13) reveal on all sides.
Finish all sides of the custom panel. They may be visible when the door is open or through the glass door.
CAUTION
A solid panel cannot be installed over the glass door.

Panel Installation
DOOR PANEL
To install the custom door panel, remove the handle side trim molding. Insert a screwdriver tip into the top corner slot on the handle side and pop out the trim. Remove the screws and frame. Refer to the illustration below.
The door has a 1/4" (6) frame for the custom panel to slide into. If the panel is thicker than a 1/4" (6), rout an edge around the panel or mount the panel on a sheet of 1/4" (6) thick material, then insert into the frame.
A .10" (3) space is required between the backer panel and the custom panel to allow the panel to slide into the door frame. Refer to the illustrations below for critical dimensions.
Install handle hardware before inserting the panel. Large D-style handles are recommend rather than knobs. Screw heads must be countersunk into the panel.
Slide the panel into the frame.
To reinstall the door trim molding, insert the top of the trim into grooves at the top of the door and work downward, snapping the trim into clips on the door frame.

Placement
CAUTION
Before moving the unit into position, secure the door closed and protect any finished flooring.
Use an appliance dolly to move the unit near the opening.
If the unit has been on its back or side, it must stand upright for a minimum of 24 hours before connecting power.
If the unit will be connected to a home security system, run lead wires through the compressor compartment prior to positioning the unit. Refer to page 30. Once the unit is in position, wiring connection can be completed from the front.
Plug the power cord into the grounded outlet, then roll the unit into position. Verify the anti-tip brackets are properly engaged.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If used, side panels will need to be installed before the unit is placed in its final position. Refer to page 27.
Alignment
LEVELING
Once the unit is in position, turn the front leveling legs clockwise to adjust the height. The rear height adjustment can be made from the front of the roller base. Using a 3/8" socket, turn the 3/8" hex bolt clockwise to raise the unit or counterclockwise to lower. Use the lowest torque setting when using a power drill. Do not turn the rear leveling legs by hand. Refer to the illustration below.
When the unit is properly leveled, door adjustments are less likely to be necessary.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Level the unit to the floor, not surrounding cabinetry. This could affect the operation of the unit, such as door closing.
WARNING
To reduce the possibility of the unit tipping forward, the front leveling legs must be in contact with the floor.
