OPERATION

Air Purication System

The air purication system reduces bacteria, odors, and ethylene gas, which causes premature ripening in fruits and vegetables. If your unit is equipped with an air purication system, the cartridge has been factory installed and is located on the back wall of the refrigerator (back of the upper drawer for drawer models).

To initiate air purication, touch

on the options screen.

CAUTION

The air purication system complies with applicable Federal requirements regarding incidental exposure to ultraviolet light. Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with disposal laws. Visit earth911.com or call 800-222-7820.

AIR PURIFICATION CARTRIDGE

The air purication cartridge will last approximately one year. “Change Air Purier” will appear on the control panel when the cartridge needs to be replaced. Touch “Snooze” to delay the reminder for 24 hours or until the cartridge can be replaced.

To replace the air purication cartridge:

1 To access the air purication cartridge, grasp the outside

cover from the bottom and rotate upward. Refer to the illustration below.

2 Grasp the black cover from the top and rotate down-

ward. The cartridge will pop out and can be removed.

3 Remove the new cartridge from packaging and insert

with the connector pointing downward.

4 Once in position, close the black cover. Then rotate the

outside cover downward.

5 Once the cartridge has been replaced, follow instructions

on the control panel. The cartridge life cycle will reset for approximately one year.

Replacement Sub-Zero air purication cartridges can be ordered online at subzero.com/store. For questions, contact Sub-Zero Customer Care at 800-222-7820.

OPERATION

Water Filtration System

The water ltration system supplies ltered water to the ice maker and water dispenser (dispenser models) to produce great-tasting water and ice.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When using the water ltration system

for the rst time and after lter replacement, it is necessary to clear any air from the system and allow the lter to assist in cleaning the water lines. For non-dispenser models, discard the rst two full containers of ice. For dispenser models, dispense several glasses of water for a period of two minutes.

If the water ltration system will not be used, it can be placed in water lter bypass mode by removing the lter.

WATER FILTER

The water lter is rated for 750 gallons (2839 L) or one year, whichever comes rst. “Change Water Filter” will appear on the control panel when the lter needs to be replaced. Touch “Snooze” to delay reminder for 24 hours or until lter can be replaced.

Replacement Sub-Zero water lters can be ordered online at subzero.com/store. For questions, contact Sub-Zero Customer Care at 800-222-7820.

To replace the water lter:

1 To access the water lter, pull out on the bottom edge

of the access door and rotate upward. Refer to the illustration below.

2 To remove the old lter, rotate counterclockwise one-

quarter turn, then pull out. It is normal for a small amount of water to drip when the lter is removed. It should be wiped up with a paper towel or cloth.

3 Remove the new lter from packaging and remove the

plastic cap.

4 Insert the new lter into the manifold and turn clockwise.

5 Once the new lter has been installed, follow instructions

on the control panel. The lter life cycle will reset for approximately one year.

OPERATION

Ice Maker

To operate the ice maker:

1 To activate the ice maker, touch on the options

screen. A single highlighted cube indicates the ice maker is active. Three highlighted cubes indicate the max ice feature is active.

2 To deactivate the ice maker, touch until no cubes are

highlighted.

After initial start-up, discard the rst few batches of ice. The ice may contain impurities from new plumbing connections.

Max ice increases ice production up to 30% for a 24-hour period. During that period, some components may run at a higher speed resulting in a unique audible tone. This is typical and will revert back after 24 hours or when the ice container is full.

If ice is not used regularly it may fuse together. To avoid, discard the ice and allow the ice maker to replenish.

Deactivate the ice maker if the ice container is removed for an extended period. The unit is equipped with a 3-minute delay after the ice container has been removed, to ensure cubes are not ejected before the ice maker is deactivated or the ice container is reinstalled.

Sabbath

This appliance is certied by Star-K to meet strict religious regulations in conjunction with specic instructions found on www.star-k.org.

To initiate Sabbath mode:

1 From the settings screen, touch .

2 Follow instructions on the control panel.

OPERATION

Water Dispenser

The water dispenser is located inside the refrigerator on the left wall. Refer to the illustration below.

To dispense water:

1 Press a glass against the dispenser to activate the ow

of water.

2 The ow of water will stop when the glass is pulled away.

The chilled water reservoir tank holds approximately 32 oz

(1 L) of ltered water. It may take several hours to chill the

water to refrigerator temperature during the original ll and after a large amount of water is dispensed.

WATER DISPENSER

To ll the water tank:

1 Press a glass against the dispenser until water begins to

ow. A safety feature is incorporated into the dispenser to limit continuous water ow to 60 seconds.

2 If water does not dispense within 60 seconds, remove

the glass, then reapply to the dispenser until water begins to ow.

3 Once the tank is full, discard the rst few glasses of

water. It may contain impurities from new plumbing connections.

CARE RECOMMENDATIONS

Cleaning

INTERIOR CLEANING

To clean interior surfaces and all removable parts, wash with a mild solution of soap, water, and baking soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid getting water on the lights and control panel.

CAUTION

Do not use vinegar, rubbing alcohol, or other alcoholbased cleaners on any interior surface.

STAINLESS STEEL EXTERIOR

Use a nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner and apply with a soft lint-free cloth. To bring out the natural luster, lightly wipe the surface with a water-dampened microber cloth followed by a dry polishing chamois. Always follow the grain of stainless steel.

CONDENSER CLEANING

CAUTION

Before cleaning the condenser, turn power off at the control panel. Wear gloves to avoid injury from sharp condenser ns.

The condenser is located behind the grille. Clean the condenser every 6–12 months.

To clean the condenser:

1 Turn power off at the control panel.

2 Remove the kickplate by extracting the two mounting

screws. Refer to the illustration below.

3 Use a soft bristle brush and vacuum to remove dust and

lint from the condenser. To avoid damaging condenser ns, vacuum in the direction of the ns.

CAUTION

Failure to clean the condenser could result in temperature loss, mechanical failure, or damage.

VACATIONS

For extended vacations, turn power off at the control panel. Empty the unit and block doors open slightly to let fresh air in and keep the interior dry. The water lter should be replaced before start up.
