A
llow 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. A 90˚ door stop is available as an
accessory.
When units are installed side by side, a filler
strip is recommended. The width of this filler
strip will vary depending on the configuration
and panels you use. An anchoring kit may also
be used to attach two units together. This kit is
available through your Sub-Zero dealer.
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
This will allow for the proper width.

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 bloc
king 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.

ADDING PANELS
In your plan for panels, be sure you are working with the
Sub-Zero panel design family called for in your design. If
you have chosen the stainless steel design, the unit will be
shipped complete with wrapped stainless steel doors and
h
andle hardware. You will not have to install front door
panels.
If you and your client have ordered a framed or overlay
design model, you will be adding panels to give the unit
the custom Sub-Zero look. Specifications on the following
pages provide installation considerations for framed and
overlay door panels.
Side panels can be used with the framed, overlay and
stainless steel design applications. Refer to specifications
on page 10.

OVERLAY PANELS
OVERLAY PANELS
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 panels—the
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,

dimensions, refer to specifications on page 9.

SIDE PANELS
Side panels can be used with the framed, overlay and

panels with the installation of the Built-In model, you need

unit, the height of the panel will vary.

HARDWARE CONSIDERATIONS
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
. Refer to the full-scale illustr
place
ations on pages 1
1–12
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
diameter
s and lengths in the classic, platinum and carbon
stainless steel finishes and polished chrome. Contact
your Sub-Zero dealer for specifics. To obtain local dealer
information, visit the Locator section of our website,
