Refer to the illustrations and specifications
for overall dimensions, finished rough opening
dimensions and installation specifics.
The refrigerator door panel must include a
cut-out to accommodate the window. Refer to
the panel specifications for exact dimensions.
The glass portion of the door must be exposed
and not covered by any part of the panel.
Allow the door to open a minimum of 90˚ or
you'll have problems removing drawers. With
the door opening at 90˚, you may have to move
drawers slightly to clear the door interior. Refer
to the minimum door swing clearance in the
specifications chart.
A 115 volt, 60 Hz, 15 amp electrical supply
is required. The supply circuit for this appliance
must be protected by a 15 amp fuse or circuit
breaker. It is recommended that a separate
circuit, serving only this appliance, be provided.
For corner installations, allow for a minimum
3" (76) filler so that the door can open to 90˚.
If you're using raised panels, consider using a
wider filler. A 90˚ door stop is available as an
accessory.
All Built-In models are equipped with a 6'
(1.8 m) power supply cord with a 3-prong
grounding plug which must be plugged into a
mating 3-prong grounding type wall receptacle.
Locate electrical within the shaded area shown
in the installation illustration.
When units are installed side by side, a filler
strip is recommended. The width of this filler
strip will vary depending on the configuration
and panels you use. An anchoring kit may also
be used to attach two units together. This kit is
available through your Sub-Zero dealer.
You must follow all National Electrical Code
regulations. In addition, be aware of local codes
and ordinances when installing your service.
To prevent the unit from tipping forward and
provide a stable installation, the unit must be
secured in place with an anti-tip blocking kit. If
there is a solid soffit above the unit with clear-
ance between the unit and the soffit of 1" (25)
or less, you won't need to block the unit.
Be sure to add the filler strip width to your
finished rough opening dimension. In any side-
by-side installation without a filler strip, add an
additional 1/2" (13) to your combined numbers.
This will allow for the proper width.
Refer to the full-scale illustrations at the end
of this section for specifics on door openings
and filler size alternatives.
For installations with clearances of more
than 1" (25), you must block the unit with the
anti-tip blocking kit (wood block and hardware)
provided with each Built-In unit.
If your client has chosen the stainless steel
design, the unit will be shipped complete with
wrapped stainless steel doors and handle
hardware. You will not have to install front
panels.
Refer to the Built-In Installation Instructions
packed with the appliance, which provides
step-by-step procedures for making sure the
unit is installed properly.
If your client has chosen the framed or
overlay design, you will be adding front panels
to give the unit the custom Sub-Zero look. The
overlay design also allows you to add your own
handles, or you may choose accessory handles
available through your Sub-Zero dealer. Refer to
pages 6–10 for detailed information on adding
panels.
Dimensions in parentheses are in
millimeters unless otherwise specified.

In your plan for panels, be sure you are working with the
Sub-Zero panel design family called for in your design. If
you have chosen the stainless steel design, the unit will be
shipped complete with wrapped stainless steel doors and
handle hardware. You will not have to install front door
panels.
If you and your client have ordered a framed or overlay
design model, you will be adding panels to give the unit
the custom Sub-Zero look. Specifications on the following
pages provide installation considerations for framed and
overlay door panels.
Side panels can be used with the framed, overlay and
stainless steel design applications. Refer to specifications

If the thickness of the custom panels is less than 1/4"
(6), they must be backed up with a sheet of shim material
to build the total thickness to 1/4" (6). If the panel is thicker
than 1/4" (6), an edge must be routed around the panel to
ensure a proper fit. Refer to the illustrations on this page.

The overlay design allows decorative panels to cover the
door trim for a more seamless appearance that blends
with the design of the room. To achieve this look, the
most common way is to work with three panels—the
decorative overlay panel, a .10" (3) spacer panel and a 1/4"
(6) backer panel. Depending on your cabinet manufacturer,
this could be one panel routed for different dimensions or
more likely, three different panels.

Regardless of the physical construction of the panels
(routing or three panel assembly), you will need to follow

IMPORTANT NOTE: Keep in mind that the Sub-Zero door
panels have the potential for hitting adjacent cabinets
and/or countertops when they are opened. You need to be
aware of your surrounding cabinetry and space limitations
when using the overlay models. Refer to the full-scale
illustrations on pages 13–14.

Side panels can be used with the framed, overlay and
stainless steel design applications. When planning for side
panels with the installation of the Built-In model, you need
to be aware of space configuration to achieve a pleasing
fit. Depending on the exact panel you are using with your
unit, the height of the panel will vary.
S I D E PA N E L S
Cut-outs around the toe kick and grille area are required if
a 1/4" (6) thick panel will be inserted into the main frame
channel. The panel will need to be 24" (610) deep. Refer to
the illustration on this page for placement of toe kick and
grille area cut-outs. If a 3/8" (10) thick panel is used, the
panel will abut the main frame and should be 237/8" (606)
deep. The toe kick area may or may not be cut out
depending on the look you want to achieve.

Overlay models come without handle hardware. The
beauty of this design is that you can match the surround-

must provide handle hardware to match the overall deco-
rating scheme.

Cut-outs for grille and toe kick area
The handle hardware must be installed before installing
the panel assembly. Use larger D-style handles. If screws
with thick heads are used, the screws will need to be
countersunk into the door before the panel is put into
place. Refer to the full-scale illustrations on pages 11–12
for handle hardware considerations.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Sub-Zero does not recommend using
single pull knobs on any of its Built-In models.
Optional stainless steel handles are available in a variety of
diameters and lengths in the classic, platinum and carbon
stainless steel finishes and polished chrome. Contact
your Sub-Zero dealer for specifics. To obtain local dealer
information, visit the Locator section of our website,
