the doors opening at 90˚, you may have to
move drawers slightly to clear the door interior.
Refer to the minimum door swing clearances 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.
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

This will allow for the proper width.
Refer to the full-scale illustrations at the end
of this section for specifics on door openings
and filler size alternatives.
If your client has chosen the stainless steel
design, the unit will be shipped complete with
wrapped stainless steel doors and handle
hardware. You will not have to install front
panels.
If your client has chosen the framed or
overlay design, you will be adding front panels
to give the unit the custom Sub-Zero look. The
overlay design also allows you to add your own
handles, or you may choose accessory handles
available through your Sub-Zero dealer. Refer to
pages 6– 10 for detailed information on adding
panels.

able to maintain the minimum water pressure
consistently.

Locate water supply within the shaded area
shown in the installation illustration.
Regardless of the routing, allow 3' (.9 m) of
excess copper tubing to remain outside the wall
or floor for easy connection to the unit.
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 separ

You must follow all National Electrical Code
regulations. In addition, be aware of local codes

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

you have chosen the stainless steel design, the unit will be
shipped complete with wrapped stainless steel doors and
handle hardware. You will not have to install front door

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,
because the beauty of this design is that you can match
the surr
ounding cabinetry hardware. These models will
come with an 11" (279) panel grille which will accept
decorative panel inserts to match the look of the door
panels. For overlay door and grille panel dimensions, refer
to specifications on page 9.

SIDE PANELS
SIDE PANELS
Side panels can be used with the framed, overlay and
stainless steel design applications. When planning for side
panels with the installation of the Built-In model, you need
to be aware of space configuration to achieve a pleasing
fit. Depending on the exact panel you are using with your
unit, the height of the panel will vary.
Cut-outs around the toe kick and grille area are required if
1
a
/4" (6) thick panel will be inserted into the main frame
channel. The panel will need to be 24" (610) deep. Refer to
the illustration on this page for placement of toe kick and
grille area cut-outs. If a
panel will abut the main frame and should be 23

IMPORTANT NOTE: The use of side panels may change
the width of your rough opening.
Cut-outs for grille and toe kick area
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,
