The depth of each Designer Series model is 610 mm. Allow
for panel thickness when planning the finished opening
depth. A minimum 89 mm finished return is required on
all sides of the opening—114 mm for the outdoor model.
Framed cabinets will require additional finished filler mate­rial behind the face frame for a proper installation. Refer to
the illustration.

Dual Installation

When installing two units side by side in a dual installa­tion, the opening width is the width of the two units added
together. A dual installation kit will be required for this
installation. If a dual installation kit is not specified, a mini­mum 51 mm filler strip is required between the units.

Dual installation kits are available through an authorized
Sub-Zero dealer. For questions regarding the installation,
contact your authorized Sub-Zero dealer.

Designer Series Refrigeration

Electrical Requirements

Installation must comply with all applicable electrical
codes.

International models from the factory require a 220-240 V
AC, 50/60 Hz electrical supply, fused at the correct rating
for the unit.

The electrical supply should be easily accessible and
positioned either in a cabinet above the refrigerator, a
minimum of 2200mm above the floor or in adjacent
cabinet.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Power Supply 220-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz

Circuit Breaker 10 amp

Receptacle grounding-type (earthed)

Plumbing Requirements

Installation must comply with all applicable plumbing
codes.

For Designer Series models with an automatic ice maker
and/or water dispenser, a pressure limiting valve and 5
metres of flexible 6mm pipe with fittings is included in the
refrigerator carton. Connect the pressure limiting valve
close to the water tap, CHECKING THE WATER FLOW IS IN
THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
Ensure water connection is 1/2" BSP male threaded outlet.
Tape the 6mm water line to the wall and floor to ensure it
is not compressed when the refrigerator is pushed into the
cavity.
The water tap should be easily accessible and positioned
either in a cabinet above the refrigerator, a minimum of
2200mm above the floor, or in adjacent cabinet.
Do not use self piercing valves.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In some cases a reverse osmosis
water filter system may not be able to maintain the
minimum pressure consistently.

Stainless Steel Panels

The outdoor model requires the use of Sub-Zero stainless
steel outdoor accessory panels. Stainless steel panels are
available through an authorized Sub-Zero dealer.

The thickness of indoor stainless steel panels is 19 mm and
outdoor stainless steel panels is 38 mm. The depth of each
Designer Series model is 610 mm. Allow for panel thick­ness when planning the finished opening depth.

Reveals of 3 mm are typical, however, the reveal between
the upper and lower outdoor stainless steel panels is 6 mm
to accommodate the lock.

Custom Panels

For Designer Series models, custom door/drawer panels
and handle hardware must be provided.

The thickness of the custom panel can vary. A minimum
16 mm thick panel is required, but the thickness can be
increased provided it does not exceed the maximum panel
weight indicated in the chart below. The depth of each
Designer Series model is 610 mm. Allow for panel thick­ness when planning the finished opening depth. Refer to
the full-scale template on page 12.

Reveals between panels can vary, 3 mm reveals are typical.

CAUTION

As reveals between cabinetry and the unit decrease,
severe finger pinching can occur while the door is
closing.

Finish all sides of the custom panels. They will be visible
when the door/drawer is open.

D-style handles are recommended. Locate the door
handle near the edge of the panel opposite the hinge and
centered top to bottom. Locate the drawer handles near
the top edge of each panel. Stainless steel tubular and
pro handles are avail able through an authorized Sub-Zero
dealer.
