in the illustration below. Connect the water supply line to

the house supply with an easily accessible shut-o valve.

Do not use self-piercing valves. The water supply line must

not interfere with the installation of the anti-tip brackets.

A reverse osmosis system can be used provided there is

constant water pressure of 35–120 psi

(2.4–8.3 bar) supplied

to the unit at all times. A copper line is not recommended

for this application.

Installation must comply with all applicable plumbing codes.

PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS

steel, or PEX tubing

Pressure 35–120 psi (2.4–8.3 bar)

Excess Line for Connection 36" (914)

Electrical Requirements

The electrical supply should be located within the shaded

area shown in the illustration below. A separate circuit ser-

vicing only this appliance is required. A ground fault circuit

interrupter (GFCI) is not recommended and may cause

interruption of operation.

Installation must comply with all applicable electrical codes.

FRAMED PANELS

The framed application is an overlay model with framed

design features. It is not a separate model.

If the custom panel is thinner than ⁄"

(6), a ﬁller material

must be added to achieve a proper ﬁt. If the panel is thicker

than ⁄"

(6), rout an edge around the panel or mount the

custom panel on a sheet of ⁄"

(6) thick material and insert

into the channel. Refer to the illustrations below.

Routing, recessing, or optional extended handles may be

required for ﬁnger clearance. Refer to the full-scale tem-

plate on page 34.

When installing two units side by side, refer to page 16 for

dual standard installations.

Custom Panels

For framed, overlay, and ﬂush inset applications, custom

door panels must be provided. Handle hardware must also

be provided for overlay and ﬂush inset applications. Refer

to Panel Requirements below and the charts on pages

22–27 for custom panel dimensions for your speciﬁc

design application.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not cover a glass door with a solid

panel.

Finish all sides of the custom panels. They may be visible

when the door is open or through the window of glass

door models.

PANEL MOUNTING KIT

The Sub-Zero custom panel mounting kit eliminates the

need for the backer and spacer panels and is avail able

through an authorized Sub-Zero dealer. For local dealer

information, visit the ﬁnd a showroom section of our

website, subzero.com. The kit consists of mounting cleats,

screws, and gages used to properly position the cleats. The

kit is available for all Classic series models except glass door

models. Dual installations require two mounting kits.

OVERLAY PANELS

Overlay panels are typically created by combining a ⁄"

(19)

custom panel, a .10" (3) spacer panel, and a ⁄"
