Plumbing Requirements. All built-in models with an

automatic ice maker come with a microbiological water filtration system. The water supply line should be located within the shaded area shown in the illustration. The water supply line should be connected to the house supply with an easily accessible shut-off valve between the supply and the unit. Do not use self-piercing valves. A saddle valve kit (4200880) is available from your Sub-Zero dealer. The water line must not interfere with installation of the anti-tip brackets.

IMPORTANT NOTE: A reverse osmosis system can be

used provided there is constant water pressure of 30 psi (2.1 bar) to 100 psi (6.9 bar) supplied to the unit at all times. In this application, the microbiological water filtration system should be set to bypass mode by removing the water filter cartridge and inserting the bypass plug (7005018) available from your Sub-Zero dealer. Installation instructions packed with the unit will outline this procedure.

The overlay design allows decorative panels to cover the door trim for a more seamless appearance that blends with the design of the room. The most common way to achieve this look is to work with three panels—the decorative overlay panel which is typically spacer panel and a

/4" (6) backer panel. Depending on

/4" (19), a .10" (3)

your cabinet manufacturer, this could also be one panel routed for different dimensions.

Regardless of the physical construction of the panels (three-panel assembly or routed panel), you will need to follow the overlay panel specifications on the following pages for exact sizing and panel placement to ensure a proper fit.

Overlay Panels 19

Overlay Panels. The illustrations provide a cross

section view of the three-panel assembly showing placement of the trim and a rear view of the three-panel assembly with critical dimensions, standard for all built-in models.

Overlay grille panels for the panel grille match the design of the overlay door panels. Dimensions for the grille panel are listed in the overlay panel specifications on the following pages.

IMPORTANT NOTE: On glass door models, the edges of

the window cut-out will need to be finished, as they will be exposed.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When installing two units in a side by

side application, refer to pages 30–31 for dual standard installations. Be aware that rough opening dimensions are different for this application.

Do not exceed the overlay decorative panel dimensions. Exceeding dimensions could cause damage to the panels and the Sub-Zero unit.

Flush Inset

Flush Inset Application 22

Flush Inset Application. It is necessary to consider

the following points when planning for a flush inset application:

• The flush inset depth is 2

standard opening.

• The flush inset width is 2

standard opening.

• The flush inset height is1/4" (6) higher than the

standard opening.

• Panel widths increase to achieve the flush inset look.

• You must allow a

of the unit and grille to allow for proper door swing and airflow.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not confuse the flush inset application as being a separate model. This is an overlay unit in a flush installation. The same model is used in an overlay or flush inset application.

Rough opening dimensions for the new flush inset application assume the use of a illustrations below show the difference between standard and flush inset installations.

Flush Inset

Flush Inset Panels 24

Flush Inset Panels. The flush inset application allows

decorative panels on the front of the unit to be flush with surrounding cabinetry and is available for all built-in overlay models. For exact panel dimensions, refer to flush inset panel specifications on the following pages.

The flush inset design allows decorative panels to cover the door trim for a seamless appearance that blends with the design of the room. The most common way to achieve this look is to work with three panels—the decorative flush inset panel which is typically (3) spacer panel and a

/4" (6) backer panel. Depending

/4" (19), a .10"

on your cabinet manufacturer, this could also be one panel routed for different dimensions.

Regardless of the physical construction of the panels (three-panel assembly or routed panel), you will need to follow the flush inset panel specifications on the following pages for exact sizing and panel placement to ensure a proper fit.

The illustration to the right provides a rear view of the three-panel assembly with critical dimensions, standard for all built-in models.

Do not exceed the flush inset decorative panel dimensions. Exceeding dimensions could cause damage to the panels and the Sub-Zero unit.

Dispenser Specifications 28

Dispenser Area. For Models BI-42SD and BI-48SD,

the refrigerator door panel must include a cut-out to accommodate the dispenser glasswell and bezel. The thickness of the panel in this area can range from to a maximum of 1

/8" (29).

IMPORTANT NOTE: Regardless of the thickness of the

panel for Model BI-42SD or BI-48SD, you must plan for a flat landing area for the decorative bezel surrounding the glasswell area. The illustration to the right provides exact bezel dimensions. Refer to the appropriate panel specifications page for exact cut-out location. This landing area can be accomplished in a number of different ways. These photos show two options.

One option (flush) is to rout the panel so the bezel will be flush with rails and stiles. You must rout a space to accommodate the height and width of the bezel. The width of the stile immediately adjacent to the bezel must

be 1

/16" (37). Do not cut the entire stile to this dimen-

sion.

The other option (proud) shows a boxed out landing area for the bezel using stiles and rails to create this space. In this application, the bezel will sit proud of the stiles and rails. The total thickness of the panels at this level must not exceed 1

/8" (29).

For overlay and flush inset Models BI-42SD and BI-48SD, mounting placement of the refrigerator door handle must assure proper access to the glasswell and adequate clearance under the handle. The handle placement illustration shows the relation of the refrigerator door handle to the glasswell bezel on stainless steel models.

Side Panels. Side panels can be used with all framed,

overlay, flush inset and stainless steel design applications. When planning for side panels with the installation of a built-in model, you need to be aware of the space configuration to achieve a pleasing fit. Depending on the exact panel you are using with your unit, the height of the panel may vary.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The use of side panels may change

the width of your rough opening.

When installing a built-in unit with a custom side panel, an accessory kit (7003407) is required. Classic stainless steel and white enamel side panels are also available through your Sub-Zero dealer.

The side panel will need to be a minimum of 24" (610) deep and sions illustration for additional specifications. Routing will be necessary in order for the side panel to fit flush against the side of the unit. Refer also to the routing detail illustration.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have a Model BI-30U, BI-30UG,

BI-36U or BI-36UG, extra routing will be necessary to avoid having the panel hit the refrigerator lower hinge plate.

A custom filler strip can be used in between two units in a framed, overlay or stainless steel design application. It is recommended that the filler strip be at least 2" (51) wide, to prevent condensation between the units. Be sure to add the filler strip width to your rough opening width. Refer to the full-scale template on page 41.

Dual installations without a filler strip can only be accomplished using two units with opposite hinges as shown in illustration A below. The dual installations shown in illustrations B and C require a filler strip.

Flush Inset Panels—Dual Installation. When

installing two built-in models side by side in a flush inset application, you must decrease the width of the decorative flush inset panels by offsets will also need to be made. These adjustments are needed to achieve a proper fit and to ensure the panels do not collide when closing. Panel dimensions in the chart below have been adjusted to reflect the decrease in panel dimensions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If a filler strip is not used, dual instal-

lations can only be accomplished using two units with opposite hinges.

Illustrations A–F provide panel offsets and reveals for all built-in models in a flush inset application. Refer to the chart below for reference to the illustrations relating to your specific model. All reveals are wise specified.
