Keeping Food At Its Best
This Sub-Zero features a unique dual refrigeration system to keep food fresher longer.
With the Sub-Zero dual refrigeration system, individual refrigerator and freezer systems have been designed to maintain accurate, consistent temperatures and proper humidity levels for longer food life expectancy. Dual refrigeration eliminates transfer of fresh food odors to frozen food and ice and does not freeze the moisture out of the air in the fresh food section.
For handy tips and information on how to maximize food freshness, refer to the freshness cards stored in the refrigerator.

The cartridge will last approximately one year. The indicator will flash in the control panel display when the cartridge needs to be replaced.
Replacement Sub-Zero air purification cartridges can be ordered online at subzerowolfstore.com. For questions, contact Sub-Zero customer care at 800-222-7820.

OPERATION
Water Filtration System
The water filtration system of Sub-Zero built-in models supplies filtered water to the ice maker and water dispenser (dispenser models) to produce great-tasting water and ice.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When using the water filtration system for the first time and after filter replacement, it is necessary to clear any air from the system and allow the filter to assist in cleaning the water lines. For non-dispenser models, discard the first two full containers of ice. For dispenser models, dispense several glasses of water for a period of two minutes.
If the water filtration system will not be utilized, it can be placed in water filter bypass mode by removing the filter.
The filter is rated for 750 gallons (2839 L) or one year, whichever comes first. The indicator will illuminate and flash in the control panel display when the filter needs to be replaced.
Replacement Sub-Zero water filters can be ordered online at subzerowolfstore.com. For questions, contact Sub-Zero customer care at 800-222-7820.
WATER FILTER REPLACEMENT
1To access the water filter, pull out on the bottom edge of the grille assembly and rotate upward.
2To remove the old filter, rotate counterclockwise onequarter turn, then pull out. Refer to the illustration below. It is normal for a small amount of water to drip when the filter is removed. It should be wiped up with a paper towel or cloth.
3Remove the new filter from packaging and remove plastic cap.
4Insert the new filter into the manifold and turn clockwise.
5Once the new filter has been installed, press and hold the water filter reset button for five seconds to reset. Refer to the illustration below.

OPERATION
Ice Maker Operation
To initiate ice production, touch ICE MAKER on the control panel. After initial start-up, discard the first few batches of ice. The ice may contain impurities from new plumbing connections.
The ice maker will cycle (eight cubes) every two hours. If ice is not used regularly it may fuse together. To avoid, discard ice and allow ice maker to replenish.
Sabbath
This appliance is certified by Star-K to meet strict religious regulations in conjunction with specific instructions found on www.star-k.org.
To initiate Sabbath mode, while the unit is on, touch POWER on the control panel. ‘OFF’ appears in the control panel display. Touch and hold POWER for 10 seconds until ‘SAb’ appears in the display indicating Sabbath mode has been initiated. Lights, ice maker, door alarm and dispenser (if applicable) will be disabled. To return to normal operating conditions, touch POWER.
Ice and Water Dispenser
The first time the water dispenser is used, purge the water system and storage tank for three minutes. This will clear any air in the system, along with impurities from new plumbing connections.
Initially, for water to dispense properly, press and hold WATER until water flows from the dispenser. WATER may need to be pressed for 60 seconds for water to fill the internal reservoir tank.
The chilled water reservoir tank holds approximately 50 oz (1.5 L) of filtered water. It may take several hours to chill the water to refrigerator temperature during the original fill and after a large amount of water is dispensed.
CAUTION
Limit continuous ice and water dispenser operation to seven minutes or less.
