Panel Installation

The custom overlay door panel is attached using screws provided through the door frame. Screw locations are marked on the back of the custom panel using tenon centers inserted into holes of the door frame.

With the unit secured and door closed, hold the custom panel in desired position on the door. Lightly tap the front of the panel to locate mounting positions. Remove tenon centers. Refer to the illustration below.

The door frame has mounting holes to accommodate Sub-Zero accessory handles. If handle mounting holes are not utilized, the handle should be attached to the custom panel prior to mounting. Screw heads may need to be countersunk into the panel for proper alignment.

To mount the custom panel, open the door and use predrilled holes to position the panel. Drive screws into the panel through black tape on the door frame. Screw holes are hidden behind the door gasket. Use as many screws as necessary to secure the custom panel. Refer to the illustration below.

Adjustments can be made to the custom panel with a few mounting screws in place, but not fully tightened. Once the proper position is achieved, install and secure all screws.

Cover holes on the inside of the door frame with the cover patches or plugs provided.

DRAWER PANELS (MODEL 427RG)

Remove the mounting hardware attached to the front of the unit and set aside. Place the panel face down on a protected work surface.

Position the top edge of the template flush with the top edge of the panel. Depending on the height and thickness of the lower drawer panel, the bracket may need to be inverted for proper placement. Mark and drill pilot holes, then secure brackets to panel using the #8 x 1/2" screws provided. Refer to the illustration below.

To help with placement of drawer panels, examine the lower L-bracket and panel to determine the slotted holes on the bracket that will be used. Then position screws into the lower portion of the drawer that correspond with these slots. Leave the screws out slightly so the slotted holes will slide under the heads.

Install the panel by engaging the tabbed bracket to the top of the drawer, then rotate the panel until the lower bracket is properly positioned below the drawer. The panel can be adjusted 1/4" (6) up and down and side to side.

Once the panel is properly aligned, attach the remaining #10 x 1/2" screws to the mounting bracket.

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.

GRILLE PANEL

Remove the bottom grille frame by extracting the lower two corner screws from each side of the grille assembly. Refer to the illustration below.

With the bottom section removed, slide the custom grille panel into the frame. If the panel is thinner than 1/4" (6), a filler material will need to be installed to achieve a proper fit. Once the panel is installed, reattach the bottom grille frame by sliding the corner brackets back into position, then reinstall the four corner screws.

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.
