goodness in two sealed compartments.

• Energy efficient; many models are

ENERGY STAR

qualified.

• Advanced water filtration and air purification systems.

• Crisper and deli drawers form a lower-temperature

zone for produce and meats.

• Flip-up grille provides easy access for quick routine

maintenance.

• All models are Star-K certified.

Built-In Design Options. A design classic is now even better. Four distinct design approaches provide limitless

flexibility for creating a beautiful kitchen. Lower-profile hinges enable the built-in units to blend more seamlessly with surrounding cabinetry.

Framed. Custom cabinetry

panels slide into the door to blend into the kitchen design. Shown with full-length handle and louvered grille option for the traditional Sub-Zero look.

Overlay. Custom cabinet

overlay panels can be combined with unique hardware for design flexibility. Shown with pro handle option to complement Wolf ranges.

Flush Inset. This design

option allows for a flush door and grille. Stainless steel panels are available as sales accessories. Shown with tubular handle option to mirror Wolf built-in ovens.

Stainless Steel. For a

professional look, this design requires no customization. To complement the look of Wolf ranges, choose the pro handle option shown here.

Planning Information

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

For all built-in models, the electrical supply should be located within the shaded area shown in the illustration. Follow the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances when installing the receptacle. A separate circuit servicing only this appliance is required. A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is not recommended and may cause interruption of operation.

Electrical Requirements

Power Supply 115 V AC, 60 Hz

Circuit Breaker 15 amp

Receptacle 3-prong grounding-type

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 illustrations. 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 through your authorized 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 through your authorized Sub-Zero dealer. Installation instructions packed with the unit will outline this procedure.

Framed Application

IMPORTANT NOTE: T

he framed application is not a separate model. This is an overlay unit in a framed application.

The framed panel design option is available for all built-in overlay models. You must specify panels, full-length handles and a framed grille insert to achieve the traditional framed look. For exact door panel dimensions refer to framed panel specifications on the following pages. Also refer to the full-scale templates at the end of this section for additional panel and handle considerations.

Optional extended full-length handles that provide additional finger clearance for raised panels are available through your authorized Sub-Zero dealer.

Custom cabinetry panels slide into the door to blend into the kitchen design. Shown with full-length handle and louvered grille option for the traditional Sub-Zero look.

Overlay Panels

f you and your client have ordered an overlay model, you

I will be adding panels and handles to give the unit a more custom look. The overlay panel design option is available for all built-in overlay models. For exact door panel dimensions, refer to overlay panel specifications on the following pages.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Overlay models can be used in an

overlay or a flush inset application. Be aware that the application specified will affect panel sizes, rough opening dimensions and installation.

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

• The flush inset width is 2

• The flush inset height is

• Panel widths increase to achieve the flush inset look.

• You must allow a

Flush Inset Panels

he flush inset application allows decorative panels on the

T 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 panel and a

/4" (6) backer panel. Depending on your

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

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.

Do not exceed flush inset panel dimensions, as this could cause damage to panels and the Sub-Zero unit.

he illustration below provides a rear view of the three-

T panel assembly with critical dimensions, standard for all built-in models.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The inside edges of the rough opening

as well as the sides and a portion of the back side of the decorative panels will need to be finished, as they will be exposed when the doors are open.

IMPORTANT NOTE: On glass door models, the edges of

the overlay, spacer and backer panels of the window cut-out will need to be finished, as they will be exposed.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For flush inset panels thicker than

/4" (19), a 90° door stop may be required to prevent interference with adjacent cabinets. Refer to the full-scale templates at the end of this section.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When installing two units side by side

in a flush inset application, refer to pages 32–36 for dual flush inset installations. Be aware that rough opening dimensions, panel sizes and offsets are different for this application.

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 to the left of the bezel must

be 1

/4" (44). Do not cut the entire stile to this dimension.

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

Side Panels

ide panels can be used with every design application.

S 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.

The side panel will need to be a minimum of 24" (610) deep and

/2" (13) thick. Refer to the illustrations below for side panel dimensions. Routing will be necessary so that the side panel fits flush against the side of the unit.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I

f you have a model BI-30U, BI-30UG, BI-36U or BI-36UG, extra routing will be necessary to prevent the panel from hitting the refrigerator lower hinge plate.

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