CLASSIC REFRIGERATION

Dual Installation

If two units are installed side by side, a dual installation kit
may be required. Installations without a custom ller strip
require a dual installation kit. If a dual installation kit is not
specied, a 2"

(51) ller strip is recommended between

the units. A custom ller strip is required when installing
two French door or side-by-side models. Dual installations
without a ller strip can only be accomplished using two 84"

(2134)

units with opposite hinges. Refer to the illustrations

below.

Dual installation kits are available through an authorized
Sub-Zero dealer. For local dealer information, visit the nd a
showroom section of our website, subzero.com. For ques­tions regarding the installation, call Sub-Zero Customer
Care at 800-222-7820.

For dual standard installations, panel dimensions are the
same as for single installations. Refer to the charts on pages
22–25. Panel dimensions and offsets for dual ush inset
installations are listed on the following pages.
