Before moving the Integrated unit into place, be sure that the finished opening dimensions, elec- trical and plumbing locations and minimum door and drawer clearances are accurate. Refer to the Installation Specifications illustration for your model on the following pages. Be sure your installer has this information before finishing work is completed.

Integrated models without an automatic ice maker will not require the plumbing connections shown in the illustrations.

The height of the tall unit is set at 2032 mm. You can allow the top of the door panel to exceed this dimension with caution. If you are working with 2134 mm or 2438 mm neighboring panels, you can utilize door panels to match this height. Other critical dimensions regarding the door swing, drawer openings and toe kick clear- ance are noted in the Overall Dimensions illustra- tions on the following pages. Also refer to the full-scale illustrations at the end of this section for specifics on door openings and other specifi- cations.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The anti-tip bracket must be installed to prevent the unit from tipping forward.

International models from the factory designed without a transformer require a 220/240 V AC, 50/60 Hz electrical supply, fused at the correct rating for the unit. If required by local or national codes, the power cord can be easily replaced using the power inlet device.

International models using a factory installed transformer require a 220/240 V AC, 50/60 Hz electrical supply, fused at the correct rating for the unit. These models will come equipped with Schuko power cords. The power cord may need to be replaced depending on local and national codes. The USA power cord that is supplied with the product must be disconnected with the appropriate transformer output to be connected in its place.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The electrical outlet must be grounded. The outlet must be flush with the back wall. Refer to the Installation Specifications illustration for your model for exact placement.

IMPORTANT NOTE: A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is not recommended and may cause interruption of operation.

Do not use an extension cord or 2-prong adapter. Electrical ground is required.

Do not under any circumstances remove the power supply cord ground prong.

For models with an automatic ice maker, rough in the water supply line. Connect a 6.35 mm OD copper line to the house supply, being sure to use an easily accessible shut-off valve between the supply and the unit. This shut-off valve should not be installed behind the unit.

Do not use self-piercing valves. A saddle valve kit (4200880) is available from your Sub-Zero dealer. An in-line filter is required when water conditions have a high sediment content. The ice maker operates on constant water pressure between 1.4 bar and 6.9 bar.

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

The Installation Specifications illustration for your model on the following pages shows the precise placement of the water line. When routing the water through the side walls, you must place the water line within 13 mm of the floor and as close as possible to the back wall. The line must be routed around the anti-tip bracket so it clears the bracket and the leveling feet of the unit as shown in the top view of the illustration. Regardless of the routing, allow for 686 mm of excess copper tubing to remain outside the wall or floor for easy connection to the unit.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not route water supply line in front of the compressor tray. The tray must be slid forward for service.

Sub-Zero specifications

Sub-Zero is synonymous with luxury refrigeration, renowned for its high-quality products that combine aesthetics, functionality, and innovative technology. Founded in 1945, the brand has carved a niche for itself as a pioneer in the refrigeration and preservation of food. Their commitment to exceptional performance and durability has established Sub-Zero as a favored choice for both culinary enthusiasts and professional chefs.

One of the standout features of Sub-Zero refrigeration units is their dual refrigeration system. Unlike traditional models that use a single cooling system for both the refrigerator and freezer compartments, Sub-Zero’s design employs two independent systems. This not only optimizes temperature control for each compartment but also maintains optimal humidity levels, which is essential for preserving the freshness of food longer.

Another defining characteristic of Sub-Zero models is their advanced air purification system. Incorporating NASA-inspired technology, the air purification system utilizes a combination of UV light and a carbon filter to eliminate airborne bacteria and mold. This feature ensures that the refrigerator environment remains pristine, significantly extending the lifespan of produce and other perishables.

Moreover, Sub-Zero appliances come with customizable interior shelving and storage options. Users can configure the layout to maximize space efficiency, accommodating items of various sizes. The adjustable shelves and bins are designed to be both functional and visually appealing, ensuring that organization within the unit is seamless.

Energy efficiency is also a hallmark of Sub-Zero’s commitment to sustainability. Many models are ENERGY STAR certified, reflecting the use of materials and technology designed to minimize energy consumption while still providing powerful performance.

In addition, Sub-Zero offers a range of style options, including integrated and built-in designs that fit seamlessly into any kitchen aesthetic. With customizable paneling options, Sub-Zero appliances can blend with cabinetry, creating a cohesive look that enhances the overall elegance of the space.

Overall, Sub-Zero’s dedication to quality, performance, and design innovation sets it apart in the competitive world of refrigeration. With features that prioritize food preservation, user convenience, and energy efficiency, Sub-Zero remains a top choice for those seeking the ultimate in luxury kitchen appliances.
