With Model I424 (overlay), Models I427 and I427R (integrated) and Model I430 (overlay), you must supply your own handle hardware. It is recommended you use our optional handles and use the pre-drilled holes supplied to locate the handles within the frame of our unit. The metal frame on the door has numerous mounting holes on each side to accommodate Sub-Zero acces- sory handles. This will allow you to provide the best possible handle alignment and not take away from the strength of the stile in this area after the unit is used a number of times. We recommend using a pull handle and not a pull knob.

If you elect to place different hardware on these units, we encourage you to fasten the hardware by passing through our door and attaching the hardware through the Sub-Zero door‘s frame.

Optional stainless steel handles are available in a variety of diameters and lengths, as are handles to match the style of Wolf ovens. Contact your Sub-Zero dealer for specifics.

Sub-Zero has provided a natural cherry wood facing to its wine storage shelves in each model. You can also replace these strips with wood more complementary to your design and surrounding cabinetry.

The Wine Shelf Wood Facing illustration on the following page can be used as a full-scale template. You must follow the layout of this format to accommodate the shelves properly. To remove the cherry strips, take the shelves out and remove the screws. Reverse the procedure to affix the new wood.

If you choose to stain or seal the wood facing, be aware that some of these substances are hazardous and will damage stored wine.

When planning for hardware, refer to the Door Frame Profile full-scale illustration on the following page to give you a better understanding of the unit‘s frame and posi- tioning of the glass for the door. You must not drill through this glass.

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.
