IMPORTANT." For properoperation and use the doormust open a minimum of90 °. A minimum 2" fillermust be used in cornerinstallations to assure a 90 °door opening. Rememberto allow enough clearancein front of unit for full doors_;r)g. Minimum door

....,'ance listed in Figure 2.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We alsorequire the floor underthe refrigerator to be atthe same level as thesurrounding finished floor.

IACAUTION ]

Any finished flooringshould be protected withappropriate material toavoid damage from veryheavy appliance.

If unit fits under soffit with

clearance between top of unitand soffit of 1" or less as in

Figure 3 unit does not requireblocking, otherwise blocking is

=required. Refer to step.8.

Figure 3

ELECTRICALINSTRUCTIONS

Step 3Rough in the electrical outletfollowing the "Pre-lnstallationSpecifications". See Figure 1.

A 115 volt, 60 Hz, 15 ampfused electrical supply isrequired. It is recommendedthat a separate circuit, servingonly this appliance, beprovided.

Follow any other local codesor ordinances that may alsoapply.

Figure 4

[_,WARNING l

Do not use an extensioncord, or two prong adapter.Electrical ground isrequired on this appliance.

Do not under anycircumstances removethe power supply cordground prong.

This appliance is factoryequipped with a power supplycord with a 3-prong groundingplug. It must be plugged into amating 3-prong groundingtype wall receptacle groundedin accordance with theNational Electrical Code andlocal codes and ordinances.See Figure 4.

PLUMBINGINSTRUCTIONS

Step 4For units with automaticicemaker, rough in the watersupply line.

Connect a %" copper line tothe house supply being sure touse an easily accessible shutoff valve between the supplyand your refrigerator(approximately 6" from thecompression fitting). Theicemaker operates on waterpressure of 20 to 100 PSI.NOTE: A line filter isrequired when waterconditions have a highsediment content. Donot use "self piercing'"valves. Saddle valve kit(part #4-20-088-0) availablefrom your distributor.

Route the water line up thruthe floor within _12"from wall,no higher than 3" from floorwhen routed under unit. SeeFigure 5.

|!

Figure 5

Route the water line thru thewall no more than 3" fromfloor when routed under unit.See Figure 6.NOTE: Regardless of therouting, allow for at least 3feet of excess copper tub-ing to remain outside wallor floor for easy connectionto the unit.

Figure 6

UNPACKING

Step 5.Uncrate unit, remove woodbase and die,card the shippingbolts which secure the woodbase to the bottom of the unit.Do not discard wood blockand hardware to be used forblocking your unit.

In addition retract frontleveler legs to ensure easiermovement of the unit forinstallation.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS

IAwARNING I

Toreduce the possibility ofthe unit tipping forward,you must reposition thefront levelers to makecontact with the floor. Youwill have to extend theselegs when the unit is finallypositioned.

Step 6Remove all packing materialsand tape.

GRILLE REMOVAL

Step 7Grille removal is necessaryto access power cord,hook up water line and isrecommended for trans-porting through doorways.

MODELS 511, 532, 542,550 AND 561Remove center grille screwand cut the red nylon shippingstrap. Tilt the grille forwardand release the spring(s) frombehind the grille. See Figure 7.

MODELS 501F AND 501RTo remove the 501 grille,remove two (black) screwslocated in the lowest louver inthe grille. Tilt the bottom of thegrille out and away, it willrelease from the top of thegrille. There is no grille springon 501 Series. See Figure 8.

Figure 8

MODEL 590To remove Model 590 grilleassembly, the inner grillepanel assembly must first beremoved. Lift up (1), then pullout at the bottom (2), then pulltop section down and out ofthe top key slot (3) (as inFigure 9). Next, remove the 5mounting screws that hold theouter grille panel assembly tothe top compartment. SeeFigure 10.

Figure 10

BLOCKING(ALL MODELS)Step 8

I"WARN'NGITohelp prevent the unitfrom tipping forward undercertain load conditionsand provide a more stableinstallation, the unit mustbe secured in place witha solid soffit or woodblock.

ff there is a solid soffitabove the unit withclearance between the unitand the soffit of one inch orless, as illustrated in Figure3, you do not need to blockthe unit. If this is not thecase, YOU MUST BLOCKTHE UNIT.

To block the unit, using thewood block and hardwareprovided, follow these steps.

1) Locate and mark two wallstuds against the wall wherethe refrigerator is to belocated.

2) Locate the proper heightto clear the unit. The spacealong the top of the Sub-Zerobetween the unit and thebottom of the wood blockmust not be greater than1/4_.See Figure 11.

3) Position the wood blockover the unit and secure itusing the screws and "1"brackets provided. Make surescrews extend a minimum of71_,into each of the twowall studs. The wood blockmust extend a minimum e'three inches over the unitSee Figure 11.

4) Using the front and rearlevelers, the unit must beraised until it contacts theWood block. See Figure 12.

PANELINSTALLATION

Step 14Apply decorative front panels(and side panels if applicable).

All Sub-Zero units aremanufactured in a mannerto achieve a total built-inappearance. This allows youto choose the decorativematerial and color applicationfor the front and sides (ifexposed) for your refrigerator/freezer.

FRONT PANELINSTALLATION

(See "Pre-lnstallationSpecifications" -- for paneldimensions)

If a metal or other thin materialis used, a filler must be in-serted behind your panel toinsure a proper fit. All framesare designed to accept up to114"material. If a raised, woodfront panel is being used, theedges must be routed to thenecessary 114"border specifi-cations. (50# per door panelmaximum weight limit)

NOTE: ROUTING,RECESSING OR OP-TIONAL EXTENDEDHANDLES MAY BEREQUIRED ON RAISEDPANELS FOR FINGERCLEARANCE UNDERHANDLE. Refer to Figures28 and 29 -- "HandleRecess Specificationsand Recommendation forRaised Panels."NOTE: does not apply toModel 590.

MODELS 501F, 501R, 511,532, 542, 550 AND 561A) To install front panels onyour Sub-Zero, the doorhandles must be removed.The handle screws are hiddenby a magnet backed trimmolidng.

The top doorhinges can be adjusted left toright and in or out by loosen-ing the three allen headscrews. The bottom doorhinge is equipped with twoadjustment allen headscrews. See Figure 27.

For adjustment, use a 118"allen wrench to loosen screws(models 550 and 511 ex-cluded). This allows the doorto move left to right or in andout.NOTE: On Models 532, 542,561, 501R, 501F and 590the doors open to 130 ° .An optional door stop kit(4-20-089-0), which allows adoor opening of approxi-mately 90 ° is available.Contact your distributor.
