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 specied, a minimum

(51) ller strip is required between units.

Dual installation kits are available through an authorized Sub-Zero dealer. For local dealer information, visit the nd a showroom section of our website, subzero.com. For questions regarding the installation, call Sub-Zero customer care at 800-222-7820.

SITE PREPARATION

Electrical

Installation must comply with all applicable electrical codes.

The electrical supply must be located within the shaded area shown in the illustration and chart 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.

The electrical outlet must be positioned with the grounding prong to the right of the thinner blades.

CAUTION

The outlet must be checked by a qualied electrician to be sure that it is wired with the correct polarity. Verify that the outlet is properly grounded.

WARNING

Do not use an extension cord, two-prong adapter or remove the power cord ground prong.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Electrical Supply 115 VAC, 60 Hz Service 15 amp Receptacle 3-prong grounding-type

HOME SECURITY CONNECTION

If the unit will be connected to a home security system, lowvoltage leads must be provided to the unit. Two connectors are located behind the top trim. Provide 10'

(3 m) minimum

lead wires for each connector, exiting the back wall near the electrical receptacle.

Remove the top trim by disengaging the trim from the hinge side of the unit. Rotate the trim and remove the trim pin from the handle side vertical support. Refer to the illustrations below. Use spade terminals or wire nuts to make proper wiring connections. Refer to the following color codes:

• Normally open contacts—white with red stripe wire.

• Common—gray with white stripe wire.

CAUTION

The alarm circuit in the unit is intended as a lowvoltage, low-current device only. It should not be used to switch line power. Any unused terminals should be completely insulated and all wires should be secured away from conductive or moving components.

Anti-Tip Bracket

WARNING

To prevent the unit from tipping forward, the anti-tip bracket must be installed.

The back of the anti-tip bracket must be installed 24" (610) from the front of the unit (without panels).

Use all anti-tip bracket hardware as instructed for wood or concrete oors.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For wood or concrete oor applications,

if the #12 screws do not hit a wall stud or wall plate, use the #8 screws and #12 washers with the wall anchors.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In some installations the subooring or

nished oor may necessitate angling the screws used to fasten the anti-tip bracket to the back wall.

2 Assemble the washer and nut ush with the end of

anchor to protect threads. Drive the anchor through the material to be fastened until the washer is ush with the surface material.

3 Expand the anchor by tightening the nut 3–5 turns past

hand-tight position or to 25 foot-pounds of torque.

WARNING

Verify there are no electrical wires or plumbing in the area which the screws could penetrate.

CAUTION

Always wear safety glasses and use other necessary protective devices or apparel when installing or working with anchors.

Anchors are not recommended for use in lightweight masonry material such as block or brick, or for use in new concrete which has not had sufcient time to cure. The use of core drills is not recommended to drill holes for the anchors.

INSTALLATION

Placement

CAUTION

Before moving the unit into position, secure the door/ drawers closed and protect any nished ooring.

Use an appliance dolly to move the unit near the opening. The front leveling legs are extended below the front rollers to improve stability during placement. Once the unit is placed in front of the opening, completely retract the front leveling legs to allow the unit to be rolled into position. Front and rear leveling legs can be adjusted from the front once the unit is positioned.

If the unit has been on its back or side, it must stand upright for a minimum of 24 hours before connecting power.

Plug the power cord into the grounded outlet and roll the unit into position. Verify the anti-tip bracket is properly engaged.

Alignment

LEVELING

Once the unit is in position, height adjustment can be made from the front. Using a Phillips drive, turn clockwise to raise the unit or counterclockwise to lower. Use the lowest torque setting when using a power drill. Do not turn the leveling legs by hand. Refer to the illustration below.

When the unit is properly leveled, door/drawer adjustments are less likely to be necessary.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Level the unit to the oor, not sur-

rounding cabinetry. This could affect the operation of the unit, such as door closing.

WARNING

To reduce the possibility of the unit tipping forward, the front leveling legs must be in contact with the oor.

DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

Adjust the depth of the unit to t ush with surrounding cabinetry. Follow these steps for a precision t:

1 Place decorative panel on a protected work surface.

Place the panel thickness gauge next to the panel to determine which notch corresponds with the panel thickness. Refer to the illustration below. Once the proper notch has been determined, mark that notch with a marker.

2 With the door closed, position the top of the unit using

the panel thickness gauge. Refer to the illustration

below. Insert a #8 x hinge, then insert a #8 x

/2" stainless steel screw above the

/2" pan head screw on the handle side of the unit. For narrower units, the door may need to be opened to access the handle side screw location. Repeat the process to align the bottom.

Custom Panels

Custom door/drawer panels and handle hardware must be installed. Stainless steel panels are available through an authorized Sub-Zero dealer. For local dealer information, visit the nd a showroom section of our website, subzero.com.

The thickness of the custom panel can vary. A minimum

/8" (16) 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 model is 24"

(610). Allow for panel thickness when planning

the nished opening depth.

Reveals between panels can vary, 1/8" (3) reveals are typical.

CAUTION

When installing a panel thicker than 1" (25), the 90° stop may be required to prevent damage to the unit and adjacent cabinetry.

CAUTION

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

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

D-style handles are recommended. Stainless steel tubular and pro handles are avail able through an authorized Sub-Zero dealer. For local dealer information, visit the nd a showroom section of our website, subzero.com. Door handles must be located near the edge of the panel opposite the hinge and should be centered top to bottom. Drawer handles must be located near the top edge of each panel.

DOOR PANEL

Typical panel dimensions are based on an 84" (2134) nished

height with

/8" (3) reveals. Template placement must be

adjusted for panels exceeding typical dimensions.

For model IW-30R, the door panel should be installed rst, followed by the upper then lower drawer panel.

Place the panel face down on a protected work surface. Position the template ush with the top and sides of the panel. Verify the correct side of the template is being used, then mark and drill holes. Refer to the illustration below.

For model IW-30R, align the notch in the template with the bottom of the door panel, then mark and drill holes. Refer to the illustration below.

For side-to-side adjustment, move panels side to side, then install and tighten all mounting screws.

For up-and-down and in-and-out adjustments, slightly loosen the bracket screws. Depending on the level of adjustment required, it may be helpful to loosen all of the bracket screws which will allow for maximum adjustment. Once the bracket screws are loosened, use the cam wrench provided to rotate the cams to make adjustments. After adjustments have been made, tighten all bracket screws.
