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
specied, a 2"
(51) ller strip is recommended between units.
Dual installations without a ller strip can only be accomplished using two 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

Electrical
Installation must comply with all applicable electrical codes.
The electrical supply should be located within the shaded
area shown in the illustration below. A separate circuit,
servicing only this appliance is required. A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is not recommended and may cause
interruption of operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The electrical outlet must be placed so
the grounding prong is to the right of the thinner blades.
The outlet must be ush with the back wall.
Do not use an extension cord, two-prong adapter or
remove the power cord ground prong.
Preparation
To operate properly, the door must open a minimum of 90°.
Use a minimum 3"
(76) ller in corner installations to assure
a 90° door opening.
Uncrate the unit and inspect for damage. Remove and
recycle packing materials. Do not discard the kickplate, antitip bracket, hardware and the leveling legs which hold the
wood base to the bottom of the unit.
Anti-Tip Bracket
WARNING
To prevent the unit from tipping forward, the anti-tip
bracket must be installed.
MODEL UW-24
The anti-tip bracket should be attached to the wall behind
the unit with the bracket ange located
of the unit. Refer to the illustration below. Failure to properly
position the anti-tip bracket will prevent proper engagement.

Custom Panel
MODEL UW-24
For overlay applications, a custom door panel must be
installed. Panel size is critical for a proper t. To verify panel
requirements and dimensions, refer to the Sub-Zero design
guide at subzero.com/specs.
Finish all sides of the custom panel. They may be visible
when the door is open or through the glass door.
The custom overlay door panel is attached using screws
provided, through the door frame. Screw locations are
marked on the back of the custom panel using tenon centers inserted into holes of the door frame.
With the unit secured and door closed, hold the custom
panel in desired position on the door. Lightly tap the front
of the panel to locate mounting positions. Remove tenon
centers. Refer to the illustration below.
The door frame has mounting holes to accommodate
Sub-Zero accessory handles. If handle mounting holes are
not utilized, the handle should be attached to the custom
panel prior to mounting. Screw heads may need to be countersunk into the panel for proper alignment.
To mount the custom panel, open the door and use predrilled holes to position the panel. Drive screws into the
panel through black tape on the door frame. Screw holes
are hidden behind the door gasket. Use as many screws as
necessary to secure the custom panel. Refer to the illustration below.

If the unit has been on its back or side, it must stand upright
for a minimum of 24 hours before connecting power.
If the unit will be connected to a home security system,
run lead wires through the compressor compartment prior
to positioning the unit. Refer to page 8. Once the unit is in

to switch line power. Any unused terminals should be
completely insulated and all wires should be secured
away from conductive or moving components.
ANCHORING
To anchor, use the countertop bracket provided to secure
the unit to the underside of the countertop. Refer to the
illustration below. If the countertop bracket can not be
utilized, install shims along the top and sides of the unit.
