Integrated refrigeration is compatible with virtu- ally any style and look of cabinetry. The models can be used with framed as well as frameless cabinets. Because of the precise application and the look you may want to achieve, there are important questions you need to answer before ordering panels for the doors/drawers. As you look at styles of cabinets, keep some important facts in mind:

IMPORTANT NOTE: The depth of each Inte- grated model is 610 mm from the front of the unit to its back. You must allow for the thick- ness of the panel you are applying when planning for the finished rough opening depth if you want the front panel to be flush with surrounding cabinetry. You must move the unit back into drywall or bring the cabinets forward to achieve a flush fit.

The height of the door panel can grow beyond 1153 mm and exceed the 2032 mm overall height as long as you stay below the recom- mended door panel weight limit.

The toe kick clearance can vary with the height of the lower drawer panel; the maximum panel height is 424 mm. You must keep a minimum space of 102 mm clear below the bottom edge of the lower drawer panel so the unit can be properly vented.

We recommend using D-style handles. For the cabinet door, handles must be located near the edge of the panel opposite the hinge, centered top to bottom. Locate handles in the top center area of the drawer panels.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The inside edges of the rough opening, as well as the sides and a portion of the backside of the decorative panels will need to be finished, as they will be exposed when the doors are open.

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.
