Moving the Unit  
HOME ALARM SYSTEM  
Before moving the wine storage unit into position, make  
sure all opening dimensions and electrical requirements  
are complete and accurate.  
If a home alarm system is to be used, refer to home alarm  
connections on page 11. In addition to operating power,  
the installer may also be required to supply a home  
automation system lead to the unit. This is for a low-  
voltage, low-current signal similar to door and window  
sensor signals. Common, normally open and normally  
closed contact configurations are provided.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: The floor under the undercounter unit  
must be at the same level as the surrounding finished floor  
to allow for removal of the unit for servicing.  
Use an appliance dolly to move the wine storage unit near  
the installation opening. Position the dolly at the side of  
the unit to prevent damage to finished surfaces. Remove  
and discard all packing materials and tape.  
Three 1/4" female spade connectors are located in the  
compressor compartment and are accessible behind the  
kickplate on models 424G and 424FS. A minimum of 36"  
(914) of lead wire should be provided for each contact,  
exiting the back wall near the electrical outlet.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not discard the kickplate, anti-tip  
bracket and hardware. These items will be needed for the  
installation.  
All roller-assembly wine shelves should be removed to  
reduce weight and prevent them from rolling. To remove,  
pull the shelf out to its full extension, gently and evenly lift  
up on both sides of the front of the shelf and remove.  
Reverse the procedure to reinstall the shelf.  
Before moving the wine storage unit in to position,  
protect any finished flooring with appropriate materials  
and secure the door closed.

Anti-Tip Bracket Installation  
8
MODEL 424FSG  
If you are installing the model 424FSG in a space deeper  
than 245/8" (625), the anti-tip bracket must be installed no  
more than 245/8" (625) deep, so it engages the unit  
properly. It is important that this measurement be made  
from the front surface of the door, to the back of the anti-  
tip bracket. Refer to the illustration below.  
To prevent the unit from tipping forward and provide a  
stable installation, the unit must be secured in place  
with the anti-tip bracket.  
An anti-tip bracket and hardware is provided with the wine  
storage unit. The anti-tip bracket must be installed on a  
solid base to prevent tipover in case several loaded wine  
shelves are extended at the same time.  
MODEL 424G  
The anti-tip bracket should be attached to the wall behind  
the unit with the bracket flange located immediately above  
the top of the unit. Refer to the illustration below.  
For installations that cannot accommodate the anti-tip  
bracket, the optional countertop bracket (provided) can be  
used to secure the model 424G. This bracket will secure  
the front of the unit to the underside of the countertop,  
above the unit. Refer to the illustration below. If it is not  
possible to use the countertop bracket, wedge shims  
along the sides and top of the unit to secure.

Anti-Tip Bracket Installation  
MODEL 424FSG—WOOD FLOORS  
INSTALL CONCRETE WEDGE ANCHORS:  
Use the four #12 x 21/2" wood screws and the four 1/4"  
flat washers provided. Drill pilot holes 3/16" (5) diameter  
maximum, and be sure that the screws penetrate through  
the flooring material and into the wall plate a minimum of  
3/4" (19). Be sure that the screws hold tight. Refer to the  
illustration below.  
1) Drill a 3/8" (10) diameter hole any depth exceeding the  
minimum embedment. Clean the hole or continue  
drilling additional depth to accommodate drill fines.  
Use a carbide drill bit manufactured within ANSI  
B94.12-77.  
2) Assemble the washer and nut flush with the end of  
anchor to protect threads. Drive the anchor through the  
material to be fastened until the washer is flush with  
the surface material.  
MODEL 424FSG—CONCRETE FLOORS  
Use the two 3/8" x 33/4" concrete wedge anchors, two  
#12 x 21/2" wood screws and two 1/4" flat washers  
provided. Be sure that the anchors and screws hold tight.  
Refer to the illustration below.  
3) Expand the anchor by tightening the nut 3–5 turns past  
hand-tight position or to 25 foot-pounds of torque.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: In some installations the subflooring  
or finished floor may require angling the wood screws  
used to fasten the anti-tip bracket to the back wall.  
Always wear safety glasses and use other necessary  
protective devices or apparel when installing or  
working with anchors.  
Anchors are not recommended for use in lightweight  
masonry material such as block or brick, or for use in  
new concrete which has not had sufficient time to cure.  
The use of core drills is not recommended to drill holes  
for the anchors.  
Make sure that there are no electrical wires in the area  
which the screws could penetrate.

Position the Unit  
If you are adding an accessory lock kit to your wine  
storage unit, it should be installed before you position the  
unit. The accessory lock kit and additional instructions are  
available through your authorized Sub-Zero dealer, or call  
Sub-Zero at 800-222-7820. You can also visit our website  
at subzero.com.  
For model 424FSG, adust the leveling legs so the top of  
the unit is no more than 345/8" (879) above the floor. This is  
to allow the unit to engage the anti-tip bracket properly.  
Center the model 424FSG in front of the anti-tip bracket.  
Slide the unit into position, making sure the anti-tip  
bracket is engaged properly.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: If for any reason the wine storage unit  
has been laid on its back or side, you must allow the unit  
to stand upright for a minimum of 24 hours before con-  
necting power.  
When the wine storage unit is installed, the anti-tip  
bracket will be positioned just below the engaging bracket  
on the unit. It is not necessary to raise the unit up so that  
it locks into the anti-tip bracket, but the unit must be in  
alignment with the anti-tip bracket.  
Plug the power cord into the grounded electrical outlet.  
With power applied to the appliance, check for lighting  
and cooling before going any further. Once you are satis-  
fied that the unit is operating properly, shut off power to  
the electrical outlet at the circuit breaker and proceed.  
The wine storage unit provides the best access to its  
contents when the front surface of the door panel extends  
out from surrounding cabinets approximately 1/4" (6). For  
model 424FSG, if there are no surrounding cabinet  
surfaces to gauge depth, slide the unit back until it  
engages the anti-tip bracket.  
Pre-level the wine storage unit before sliding it into  
position. Leveling cannot be completed with the unit  
pushed back in the installation opening.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: The floor under the wine storage unit  
must be at the same level as the surrounding finished floor  
to allow for removal of the unit for servicing.  
If a home alarm system is to be used with the wine  
storage unit, the lead wires should be threaded into the  
compressor compartment before you position the unit.  
Refer to home alarm connections on the following page,  
for the location of these lead wires. After the unit is in  
position, the alarm wiring can be completed from the front.

Home Alarm Connections  
Using an adjustable wrench or pliers, turn each of the four  
leveling legs clockwise to raise the unit and counterclock-  
wise to lower the unit. Refer to the illustration below for  
location of the leveling legs.  
Before the kickplate is installed, all necessary wiring  
connections in the compressor compartment should be  
completed.  
If a home alarm system is to be installed on the wine  
storage unit, the connections should be made using the  
logic supplied with the alarm specifications. Refer to the  
illustration for the appliance lead locations, and refer to  
the following for color codes:  
For model 424G, the countertop bracket should be used  
to make a solid installation. Refer to the illustration on  
page 8. If this is not possible, wedge shims along the  
sides and top.

•
Normally open contacts – white with red stripe wire  
Normally closed contacts – white with blue stripe wire  
Common – gray with white stripe wire  
To reduce the possibility of the unit tipping forward, the  
front leveling legs must be in contact with the floor.  
Use the 1/4" spade terminals or wire nuts provided to  
make the proper wiring connections.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are not responsible for alarm  
system connection, this information should be supplied to  
the home security system contractor.  
The alarm circuit in the unit is intended as a low-  
voltage, low-current device only. It should not be used  
to switch line power.  
Any unused terminals should be completely insulated  
and all wires should be secured away from conductive  
or moving components.

Kickplate Installation  
Door Panel  
Once the unit is leveled and wiring connections made,  
the kickplate can be installed. Use the two #10 x 1/2"  
stainless steel screws that are provided with the kickplate.  
Refer to the illustration below.  
MODEL 424G  
Model 424G is offered in two design applications; stain-  
less steel (/S) and overlay (/O). Each of these designs have  
a full-view glass door.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: The kickplate must be removed for  
servicing. The floor cannot interfere with removal. The  
louvered section of the kickplate must not be covered so  
as to prevent air circulation.  
The stainless steel model 424G/S is shipped from the  
factory with the decorative stainless steel door panel and  
matching handle in place.  
The overlay model 424G/O is designed to accept a deco-  
rative door panel to match surrounding cabinetry. The  
door panel and the handle will be provided by the  
customer.  
Turn power back on to the electrical outlet.  
Before beginning installation, check for the correct com-  
ponents for the fit and finish desired. All overlay doors  
require a decorative panel 233/4" (603) x 301/16" (764), a  
minimum 5/8" (16) thick.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: For installations at or above 5,000'  
(1524 m) in altitude, a special high altitude glass door unit  
(HAG) must be ordered.  
If you have questions, contact your authorized Sub-Zero  
dealer or cabinet supplier. Additional panel information  
can be found in the Sub-Zero design guide.

Overlay Door Panel  
MODEL 424G  
The door panel is then lowered from the door frame, tenon  
centers removed, the door opened and the screws driven  
into the panel through the black tape on the door frame,  
using the center marks to locate the screws.  
Inspect the door panel for the minimum 5/8" (16) thickness,  
the finished inside edge. The glass door has a 10 lbs (5 kg)  
weight limit. Refer to the wine storage section of the  
Sub-Zero design guide for additional panel information.  
The screw holes inside the door are hidden under a cover  
flap on the door gasket. It is necessary to lift the flap to  
insert the screws. Use as many screws as necessary to  
hold the door panel in place properly.  
Decide if the handle will be attached through the glass  
door frame or just through the decorative door panel. If it  
is just through the door panel, the handle must be  
attached first.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: After the first three or four mounting  
screws are in place, but not completely tightened, close  
the door and check your panel fit. This is the time to make  
small adjustments. Once you are satisfied with the appear-  
ance, open the door and apply the remainder of the  
screws. Check all screws for tightness.  
Decorative panels are attached to the model 424G door  
using #8 x 5/8" square drive screws passing through the  
door frame from the rear, behind the gasket into the panel.  
The door panel is marked for screw locations by the use of  
tenon centers, which are temporarily inserted into the  
1/4" (6) diameter holes in the front of the glass door frame.  
Refer to the illustration below.  
The metal frame on the glass door has numerous  
mounting holes on each side of the door. This is to  
accommodate the Sub-Zero accessory handles and  
provide for easy attachment of the handle through the  
door frame.  
With the wine storage unit secured in position and the  
door closed, the panel is held in the desired position on  
the door and rapped by hand from the front, putting center  
marks on the rear surface of the panel. If the door panel is  
made of such a material that pre-drilling is needed, all of  
the mounting holes should be marked. If not, only enough  
holes to hold the panel in place temporarily, are necessary.  
If you choose not to use the pre-drilled handle mounting  
holes, it will be necessary to fasten the handle from the  
rear of the door panel only, or drill one or more additional  
holes through the metal frame of the glass door.  
The cross section illustration shows how this hole passes  
through the door frame. The hole center is on the small  
locator groove in the front of the frame. A 1/4" (6) diameter  
hole is made in the front wall of the extrusion and a 13/32"  
(11) diameter hole through the rest of the frame.

Overlay Door Panel  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Install screws in all the mounting  
holes in the door frame. The nature of the door panel with  
a narrow outer rim and no connecting center member  
requires the support provided by the glass door.  
The wine storage unit door is made with a sealed  
double wall tempered glass core. The drill must not  
contact this core when drilling. Be sure the hole is  
centered on the small groove in the front of the door  
frame and the drill passes squarely through the frame.  
After the door panel installation is complete, apply the  
cover patches or plugs provided over the holes on the  
inside surface of the door.  
If you are inexperienced with drilling, fasten the handle  
from the rear of the door panel only.  
The cover patches or plugs are part of the insulation  
system on the door of the wine storage unit. Be sure to  
cover all the holes in the door that were used.

Electrical Requirements  
Anti-Tip Bracket Installation  
HOME ALARM SYSTEM  
If a home alarm system is to be used, refer to wiring  
connections on page 24. In addition to operating power,  
the installer may also be required to supply a home  
automation system lead to the unit. This is for a low-  
voltage, low-current signal similar to door and window  
sensor signals. Common, normally open and normally  
closed contact configurations are provided.  
To prevent the unit from tipping forward and provide  
a stable installation, the unit must be secured in place  
with the anti-tip bracket provided with the unit.  
An anti-tip bracket and hardware is provided with the wine  
storage unit. The anti-tip bracket must be installed on a  
solid base to prevent tipover in case several loaded wine  
shelves are extended at the same time.  
Three 1/4" female spade connectors are located in the  
compressor compartment and are accessible behind the  
kickplate/grille on models 427G and 427R. A minimum of  
36" (914) of lead wire should be provided for each contact,  
exiting the back wall near the electrical outlet.  
If you are installing the model 427G or 427RG in a space  
deeper than 24" (610), the anti-tip bracket must be  
installed no more than 24" (610) deep, so it engages the  
unit properly. It is important that this measurement be  
made from the front of the unit without panels, to the back  
of the anti-tip bracket.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: In some installations the subflooring  
or finished floor may require angling the wood screws  
used to fasten the anti-tip bracket to the back wall.  
Make sure there are no electrical wires or plumbing  
in the area which the screws could penetrate.

Anti-Tip Bracket Installation  
WOOD FLOOR APPLICATIONS  
INSTALL CONCRETE WEDGE ANCHORS:  
Use the six #12 x 21/2" wood screws and the six 1/4" flat  
washers provided. Drill pilot holes 3/16" (5) diameter  
maximum, and make sure the screws penetrate through  
the flooring material and into the wall plate a minimum of  
3/4" (19). Make sure the screws hold tight. Refer to the  
illustration below.  
1) Drill a 3/8" (10) diameter hole any depth exceeding the  
minimum embedment. Clean the hole or continue  
drilling additional depth to accommodate drill fines.  
Use a carbide drill bit manufactured within ANSI  
B94.12-77.  
2) Assemble the washer and nut flush with the end of  
anchor to protect threads. Drive the anchor through the  
material to be fastened until the washer is flush with  
the surface material.  
CONCRETE FLOOR APPLICATIONS  
Use the two 3/8" x 33/4" concrete wedge anchors, two  
#12 x 21/2" wood screws and two 1/4" flat washers  
provided. Make sure the anchors and screws hold tight.  
Refer to the illustration below.  
3) Expand the anchor by tightening the nut 3–5 turns past  
hand-tight position or to 25 foot-pounds of torque.  
Always wear safety glasses and use other necessary  
protective devices or apparel when installing or

Unpack the Unit  
DUAL INSTALLATIONS  
When two model 427G, 427RG or integrated units are  
installed closer than 2" (51) to one another, it is necessary  
to use the dual installation heater kit. The heater from this  
kit must be attached to the left side exterior of the right-  
hand unit before the unit is slid into position. The dual  
installation heater kit and additional instructions is avail-  
able through your authorized Sub-Zero dealer, or call  
Sub-Zero customer care at 800-222-7820. You can also  
visit our website at subzero.com.  
Before moving the wine storage unit into position,  
secure the door closed, remove drawers (427RG) and  
protect any finished flooring.  
Uncrate the wine storage unit and inspect for any damage.  
Remove the wood base and discard the shipping bolts  
that hold the wood base to the bottom of the unit. Remove  
all packing materials and tape.  
All roller-assembly wine shelves should be removed to  
reduce weight and prevent them from rolling. To remove,  
pull the shelf out to its full extension, gently and evenly lift  
up on both sides of the front of the shelf and remove.  
Reverse the procedure to reinstall the shelf.  
LOCK INSTALLATION  
For models 427G and 427RG, the optional lock is  
attached to the decorative door panel through a field-  
drilled hole in the panel. The catch should be installed on  
the top of appliance cabinet before the unit is moved into  
position. The accessory lock kit and additional instructions  
are available through your authorized Sub-Zero dealer, or  
call Sub-Zero customer care at 800-222-7820. You can  
also visit our website at subzero.com.  
For model 427RG, the drawers should be removed and  
placed aside until you are ready for installation of the  
panels. Remove the decorative top and side moldings and  
the kickplate/grille.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: For model 427RG, the top drawer has  
a control cable that needs to be disconnected before  
removing this drawer. Refer to the illustration below for

Position the Unit  
Retract the front leveling legs all the way up to allow the  
unit to be moved into position more easily. You will extend  
the leveling legs when the unit is in its final position to  
reduce the possibility of the unit tipping forward.  
Slide the unit into position, making sure the anti-tip  
bracket is engaged properly. Extend the front leveling legs  
down approximately 3/16" (5) to make additional adjust-  
ments easier.  
Use an appliance dolly to move the wine storage unit near  
the rough opening. Position the dolly at the side of the unit  
to prevent damage to finished surfaces.  
When the wine storage unit is installed, the anti-tip  
bracket will be positioned just below the engaging bracket  
on the unit. It is not necessary to raise the unit up so that  
it locks into the anti-tip bracket, but the unit must be in  
alignment with the anti-tip bracket.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: If for any reason the wine storage unit  
has been laid on its back or side, you must allow the unit  
to stand upright for a minimum of 24 hours before con-  
necting power.  
Plug the power cord into the grounded electrical outlet.  
With power applied to the appliance, check for lighting  
and cooling before going any further. Once you are satis-  
fied that the unit is operating properly, shut off power to  
the electrical outlet at the circuit breaker and proceed.  
Pre-level the wine storage unit before moving into  
position. This is to allow the unit to engage the anti-tip  
bracket properly.  
If a home alarm system is to be used with the wine  
storage unit, the lead wires should be threaded into the  
compressor compartment before you position the unit.  
Refer to wiring connections on page 24 for the location of  
these lead wires. After the unit is in position, the alarm  
wiring can be completed from the front.

Level the Unit  
Molding Installation  
Level the wine storage unit by turning the front leveling  
legs clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower the  
unit. To assist you in adjusting the front leveling legs up or  
down, use a standard screwdriver blade and place it in the  
front leveling leg as shown in the illustration below.  
Install the decorative white molding strips to the top and  
sides of models 427G and 427RG for a finished look. The  
top molding strip must be installed before the side  
molding can be attached. The top molding strip is held in  
place by double-sided velcro. The side molding strips  
snap into place over brackets attached to the side of the  
unit. Refer to the illustrations below for positioning. For  
installations where units are side by side, refer to dual  
installations on page 21.  
The rear leveling legs are adjusted from the front of the  
base by turning the Phillips head screw as shown in the  
illustration below.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: The rear leveling legs will only move  
1/16" (2) for every 18 revolutions on the Phillips head screw.  
Do not over torque. Use the lowest torque setting on any  
power screwdriver. Do not turn the rear leveling legs by  
hand.  
If you choose, the molding strips may be painted to match  
surrounding cabinetry. Follow these steps: Rough up the  
surface to be painted with fine grit sandpaper. Wipe with  
alcohol to ensure that the surface is clean and dry. Use an  
appliance or industrial grade, oil base, high gloss enamel  
paint.  
To reduce the possibility of the unit tipping forward, the  
front leveling legs must be in contact with the floor.

Wiring Connections  
Before the kickplate/grille is installed, all necessary wiring  
connections in the compressor compartment should be  
completed.  
The alarm circuit in the unit is intended as a low-  
voltage, low-current device only. It should not be used  
to switch line power.  
If the dual installation heater kit is used with model 427G  
or 427RG, the power supply leads should be connected  
according to instructions included with the kit.  
Any unused terminals should be completely insulated  
and all wires should be secured away from conductive  
or moving components.

Kickplate/Grille Installation  
25  
subzero.com  
Door Panels  
Once the wine storage unit is leveled and wiring connec-  
tions made, the kickplate/grille can be installed. The  
mounting bracket may be adjusted slightly forward or  
back so the kickplate/grille will fit flush with the sur-  
rounding area. Refer to the illustration below.  
Models 427G and 427RG have a full-view glass door.  
Each of these wine storage units are set up at the job site  
as either the stainless steel or integrated design.  
Stainless steel panels are available as sales accessories  
and are shipped separately. Stainless steel panels are  
shipped with matching handles in place.  
The kickplate/grille must be removable for service. The  
floor cannot interfere with removal.  
The integrated design uses custom wood or other decora-  
tive panels and handles provided by the customer.  
Turn power back on to the electrical outlet.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: The unit must be allowed to have  
ventilation through the fins of the kickplate/grille. You may  
cover the solid area, but do not block the fins. The door  
panel or the lower drawer panel may hang in front of the  
fins, but the baseboard molding must not cover them.  
Model 427RG requires solid panels on the drawers that  
may match the door panel, or be complementary. The  
model 427RG stainless steel drawer panel set and stain-  
less steel door panel are ordered and shipped as two  
items.  
If you choose, the kickplate/grille may be painted another  
color. Follow these steps: Rough up the surface to be  
painted with fine grit sandpaper. Wipe with alcohol to  
ensure that the surface is clean and dry. Use an appliance  
or industrial grade, oil base, high gloss enamel paint.  
Before beginning installation, check for the correct  
components for the fit and finish desired. The door and  
drawers (model 427R) require a decorative panel that is a  
minimum 5/8" (16) thick.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: For installations at or above 5,000'  
(1524 m) in altitude, a special high altitude glass door unit  
(HAG) must be ordered.  
If you have questions, contact your authorized Sub-Zero  
dealer or cabinet supplier. Additional panel information  
can be found in the Sub-Zero design guide, or visit our  
website at subzero.com.

Stainless Steel Door Panel  
26  
Overlay Door Panel  
Before installing the stainless steel door panel, check the  
panel carefully. Options are available for kickplate/grille  
height, overall height, door swing and door lock.  
Inspect the door panel for the minimum 5/8" (16) thickness,  
the greater width requirements for the stiles (to cover the  
door hinges), and the finished inside edge. The glass door  
panel has a weight limit of 20 lbs (9 kg). Refer to the wine  
storage section of the Sub-Zero design guide for addi-  
tional panel information.  
The stainless steel panel is mounted to the door by  
passing the #8–32 x 5/8" screws (provided), through holes  
in the door frame from the rear, and into the threaded  
holes in the door panel. Refer to the illustration below. The  
screw holes inside the door are hidden under a cover flap  
on the door gasket. It is necessary to lift the flap to insert  
the screws.  
Decide if the handle will be attached through the glass  
door frame or just through the decorative door panel. If it  
is just through the door panel, the handle must be  
attached first.  
After the door panel installation is complete, apply the  
cover patches or plugs provided over the holes on the  
inside surface of the door.  
If a lock is to be used, the body of the lock should be  
installed on the door panel after the panel is mounted.  
Decorative panels are attached to the model 427G and  
427RG door using #8 x 5/8" square drive screws passing  
through the door frame from the rear, behind the gasket  
into the panel. The door panel is marked for screw loca-  
tions by the use of tenon centers, which are temporarily  
inserted into the 1/4" (6) diameter holes in the front of the  
glass door frame. Refer to the illustration.  
For installation of stainless steel panels on model 427RG  
drawers, refer to drawer panel installation on page 28.  
The cover patches or plugs are part of the insulation  
system on the door of the wine storage unit. Be sure to  
cover all the holes in the door that were used.  
With the wine storage unit secured in position and the  
door closed, the panel is held in the desired position on  
the door and rapped by hand from the front, putting center  
marks on the rear surface of the panel. If the door panel is  
made of such a material that pre-drilling is needed, all of  
the mounting holes should be marked. If not, only enough  
holes to hold the panel in place temporarily, are necessary.  
The door panel is then lowered from the door frame, tenon  
centers removed, the door opened and the screws driven  
into the panel through the black tape on the door frame,  
using the center marks to locate the screws.

Overlay Door Panel  
The screw holes inside the door are hidden under a cover  
flap on the door gasket. It is necessary to lift the flap to  
insert the screws. Use as many screws as necessary to  
hold the door panel in place properly.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Install screws in all the mounting  
holes in the door frame. The nature of the door panel with  
a narrow outer rim and no connecting center member  
requires the support provided by the glass door.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: After the first three or four mounting  
screws are in place, but not completely tightened, close  
the door and check your panel fit. This is the time to make  
small adjustments. Once you are satisfied with the appear-  
ance, open the door and apply the remainder of the  
screws. Check all screws for tightness.  
After the door panel installation is complete, apply the  
cover patches or plugs provided over the holes on the  
inside surface of the door.  
The wine storage unit door is made with a sealed  
double wall tempered glass core. The drill must not  
contact this core when drilling. Be sure the hole is  
centered on the small groove in the front of the door  
frame and the drill passes squarely through the frame.  
If you are inexperienced with drilling, fasten the handle  
from the rear of the door panel only.  
The metal frame on the glass door has numerous  
mounting holes on each side of the door. This is to  
accommodate the Sub-Zero accessory handles and  
provide for easy attachment of the handle through the  
door frame.  
If you choose not to use the pre-drilled handle mounting  
holes, it will be necessary to fasten the handle from the  
rear of the door panel only, or drill one or more additional  
holes through the metal frame of the glass door.  
The cover patches or plugs are part of the insulation  
system on the door of the wine storage unit. Be sure to  
cover all the holes in the door that were used.  
The cross section illustration below shows how this hole  
passes through the door frame. The hole center is on the  
small locator groove in the front of the frame. A 1/4" (6)  
diameter hole is made in the front wall of the extrusion and  
a 13/32" (11) diameter hole through the rest of the frame.

Drawer Panel Installation  
MODEL 427RG  
To help with proper placement of drawer panels, examine  
the lower panel mounting bracket and determine which  
slotted holes to use. Position screws into the lower portion  
of the drawer that correspond with these slotted holes.  
Leave these screws out a small distance so they can help  
when you mount the drawer panels to the drawer.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Drawer panels for model 427RG must  
be a minimum of 5/8" (16) thick and cannot exceed 12 lbs  
(5 kg) for each panel.  
Remove the mounting hardware provided and set aside.  
As with the door panel, you should work on the back side  
of each drawer panel to protect the front surface.  
With the two mounting brackets in place, install the  
drawer panel by engaging the top tabbed bracket first,  
then slide the lower L-bracket onto the positioning screws.  
Each drawer panel can be adjusted 1/4" (6) up and down  
and side to side. Fasten all screws to the lower L-bracket  
to secure the drawer panel.  
Position the top edge of the template flush with the top  
edge of each drawer. For the top drawer, there is only one  
location for the lower mounting bracket. The bottom  
drawer allows a second option by inverting the lower  
mounting bracket, depending on the height and thickness  
of the panel. Refer to the illustration below.  
The drawers can be placed back in the unit. Reconnect  
the control cable for the top drawer. Refer to the illustra-  
tion below.  
Secure the template in place and mark the pilot holes.  
Remove the template and drill pilot holes for mounting the  
bracket. Place the mounting brackets in the proper  
location with the tabbed bracket on top and L-bracket on  
the bottom of the panel. Fasten brackets securely with the  
#8 x 1/2" screws provided. Refer to the illustration below.

Anti-Tip Bracket Installation  
IMPORTANT NOTE: For either wood or concrete floor  
applications, if the #12 x 21/2" screws do not hit a wall  
stud or the wall plate in any of the back holes of the  
brackets, use the provided #8–18 x 11/4" PH truss HD  
screws and #12 flat washers with the nylon zip-it wall  
anchors.  
To prevent the unit from tipping forward and provide  
a stable installation, the unit must be secured in place  
with the anti-tip brackets provided.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: In some installations the subflooring  
or finished floor may necessitate angling the screws used  
to fasten the anti-tip brackets to the back wall.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Placement of the anti-tip brackets is  
critical to a stable installation. Failure to properly position  
the anti-tip brackets will prevent them from engaging the  
unit.  
The two anti-tip brackets must be installed exactly 24"  
(610) from the front of the rough opening to the back of the  
brackets and a minimum of 4" (102) from the sides of the  
rough opening. This depth will increase to 263/16" (665) for  
a flush inset installation based on 3/4" (19) deep decorative  
panels. Proper placement will ensure that the anti-tip  
brackets engage the anti-tip bar at the back of the unit.  
Make sure there are no electrical wires or plumbing  
in the area which the screws could penetrate.  
To properly secure the anti-tip brackets for a stable instal-  
lation, use all anti-tip bracket hardware as instructed for  
wood or concrete floors.

Anti-Tip Bracket Installation  
WOOD FLOOR APPLICATIONS  
INSTALL CONCRETE WEDGE ANCHORS:  
After properly locating the anti-tip brackets in the rough  
opening, drill pilot holes 3/16" (5) diameter maximum in the  
wall studs and/or wall plate. Use the #12 x 21/2" PH pan  
HD zinc screws and #12 flat washers to secure the  
brackets in place. Make sure the screws penetrate  
through the flooring material and into wall studs or wall  
plate a minimum of 3/4" (19). Refer to the illustration below.  
1) Drill a 3/8" (10) diameter hole any depth exceeding the  
minimum embedment. Clean the hole or continue  
drilling additional depth to accommodate drill fines.  
Use a carbide drill bit manufactured within ANSI  
B94.12-77.  
2) Assemble the washer and nut flush with the end of  
anchor to protect threads. Drive the anchor through the  
material to be fastened until the washer is flush with  
the surface material.  
CONCRETE FLOOR APPLICATIONS  
After properly locating the anti-tip brackets in the rough  
opening, drill pilot holes 3/16" (5) diameter maximum in the  
wall studs and/or wall plate. Then drill 3/8" (10) diameter  
holes into the concrete a minimum of 11/2" (38) deep.  
Use the #12 x 21/2" PH pan HD zinc screws and #12 flat  
washers to secure the brackets to the wall and use the  
3/8"–16 x 33/4" wedge anchors to secure the brackets to  
the floor. Make sure the screws penetrate the wall studs or  
wall plate a minimum of 3/4" (19). Refer to the illustration  
below.  
3) Expand the anchor by tightening the nut 3–5 turns past  
hand-tight position or to 25 foot-pounds of torque.  
Always wear safety glasses and use other necessary  
protective devices or apparel when installing or  
working with anchors.  
Anchors are not recommended for use in lightweight  
masonry material such as block or brick, or for use in  
new concrete which has not had sufficient time to cure.  
The use of core drills is not recommended to drill holes  
for the anchors.

unit to the floor and not surrounding cabinetry. This could  
affect the operation of the unit, such as door closing.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: If for any reason the unit has been  
laid on its back or side, you must allow the unit to stand  
upright for a minimum of 24 hours before connecting  
power.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: If used, side panels will need to be  
installed before the unit is placed in its final position. Refer  
to page 53.  
To reduce the possibility of the unit tipping forward,  
the front leveling legs must be in contact with the floor.  
The rear levelers must be in their lowest position in order  
to roll the unit back into the rough opening. Leveling  
cannot be completed until the unit is in position.

Complete the Installation  
If your customer has ordered either a framed or overlay  
model, you will be installing a door panel to give the unit  
the custom Sub-Zero look. Before you begin installing the  
panel, refer to the panel specifications for framed, overlay  
or flush inset applications on pages 44–52, and make sure  
you are working with the panel design called for in your  
installation.  
ANCHORING  
After door and side panels have been installed, the unit  
has been leveled and door adjustment completed, anchor  
the wine storage unit to the opening. This will assure a  
proper fit and a secure installation.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure to level and square the unit  
before anchoring it.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: For overlay models, there are two  
design applications, overlay and flush inset. Be sure to  
use the correct panel sizes for your application.  
To anchor the top of the unit to cabinetry, open the grille,  
and install the screws provided through the grille frame  
into the cabinetry. There are several hole locations  
provided. Check for proper door clearance by fully  
opening the door. Refer to the illustration below.  
If your customer has chosen the stainless steel design, the  
unit has been shipped complete with a finished stainless  
steel look. It will not be necessary to install a door panel or  
handle hardware. In your final preparation for stainless  
steel units, use a stainless steel cleaner to remove any  
marks. Abrasive cleaners should not be used, as they may  
scratch the surface.  
To anchor the bottom of the unit, drive a screw through  
the side hole inside the roller base assembly. There is one  
on each side. The screw will need to go in at an angle in  
order to attach properly. Refer to the illustration below.  
Additional material may be needed behind the cleat to  
ensure sufficient anchoring.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Side panels, if used, will need to be  
installed before the unit is placed in its final position. Refer  
to page 53.  
If the screws provided are not suitable for your  
application, you must provide adequate screws.

Framed Panel  
If your customer has chosen a framed design application,  
make sure that the panel you are about to install matches  
dimensions listed in the framed panel specifications on the  
following page. Additional panel design information can be  
found in the Sub-Zero design guide and on our website,  
subzero.com.  
FRAMED PANEL INSTALLATION  
To install the framed panel, the door handle must be  
removed. To install framed panels, first remove the door  
trim molding. Insert a screwdriver tip into the top corner  
slot on the handle side and pop out the trim molding.  
Refer to the illustration below.  
If the thickness of the custom panel is less than a 1/4" (6),  
back it up with a sheet of shim material to build the total  
thickness to a 1/4" (6). If the panel is thicker than a 1/4" (6),  
rout an edge around the panel to achieve a proper fit.  
Refer to the illustrations.  
With a Phillips screwdriver, remove the door handle.  
Slide the panel into the frame on the door. With the panel  
in position, replace the handle. Be sure the panel is  
inserted completely into the channel for proper fit and  
alignment.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: The weight of the framed panel must

Overlay Panels  
If your customer has chosen an overlay design applica-  
tion, make sure that the panels you are about to install  
match dimensions listed in the overlay panel specifica-  
tions on the following page. Additional panel design infor-  
mation can be found in the Sub-Zero design guide and on  
our website, subzero.com.  
The illustrations below provide a cross section view of the  
three panel assembly showing placement of the trim and a  
rear view of the three panel assembly with critical dimen-  
sions, standard for all models.  
Install the handle hardware before inserting the panel. We  
recommend a larger D-style pull. The use of a small, one-  
piece knob is not recommended. If you use screws with  
thick heads, you will need to countersink the screws into  
the backer panel before sliding the assembly into place.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: The size of the overlay panel is  
critical. It must fit over the door frame. The weight of the  
overlay panel must not exceed 75 lbs (34 kg) and the panel  
must be a minimum of 5/8" (16) thick.  
Slide the panel into the frame on the door. With the panel  
in position, replace the frame end. Be sure the panel is  
inserted completely into the channel for proper fit and  
alignment.  
Overlay models are shipped without handle hardware. The  
cabinet manufacturer or designer will need to provide  
handle hardware to match the overall decorating scheme.  
To install overlay panels, first remove the door trim  
molding. Insert a screwdriver tip into the top corner slot on  
the handle side and pop out the trim molding. Refer to the  
illustration on page 44. Remove the screws and frame.  
To reinstall the trim molding, insert the top of the trim  
molding into the grooves at the top of the door and work  
downward, snapping the trim molding into the clips on the  
frame.  
Sub-Zero allows a 1/4" (6) space to slide the backing  
material into place in the frame. If your material is thicker  
than a 1/4" (6), either rout an edge around the panel to get  
a proper fit or mount the decorative overlay panel on a  
sheet of 1/4" (6) thick material and insert the backing  
material into the channel.

Model WS-30 Installation  
Flush Inset Panels  
48  
If your customer has chosen the flush inset panel applica-  
tion, make sure that the panels you are about to install  
match dimensions listed in the flush inset panel specifica-  
tions on the following page. Additional panel design  
information can be found in the Sub-Zero design guide  
and on our website, subzero.com.  
You must allow for .10" (3) space between the backer  
board and the decorative panel, so the panel will slide  
easily into the door frame.  
The illustration below provides a rear view of the three-  
panel assembly with critical dimensions.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: With the panels installed, 1/2" (13)  
minimum reveals must be kept on all sides to ensure  
proper door opening and sufficient cooling of the unit.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: The size of the flush inset panel is  
critical. It must fit over the door frame. The weight of the  
overlay panel must not exceed 75 lbs (34 kg) and the panel  
must be a minimum of 5/8" (16) thick.  
Install the handle hardware before inserting the panel.  
We recommend larger D-style pulls. The use of small, one-  
piece knobs is not recommended. If you use screws with  
thick heads, you will need to countersink the screws into  
the backer panel before sliding the assembly into place.  
Overlay models are shipped without handle hardware.  
The cabinet manufacturer or designer will provide handle  
hardware at the job site to match the overall decorating  
scheme.  
Slide the panel into the frame on the door. With the panel  
in position, replace the frame end. Be sure the panel is  
inserted completely into the channel for proper fit and  
alignment.  
To install flush inset panels, first remove the door trim  
molding. Insert a screwdriver tip into the top corner slot on  
the handle side and pop out the trim molding. Refer to the  
illustration on page 44. Remove the screws and frame.  
To reinstall the trim molding on side-by-side models and  
the upper door for over-and-under models, insert the top  
of the trim molding into the grooves at the top of the door  
and work downward, snapping the trim molding into the  
clips on the frame.  
Sub-Zero allows a 1/4" (6) space to slide the backing  
material into place in the frame. If your material is thicker  
than a 1/4" (6), either rout an edge around the panel to get  
a proper fit or mount the decorative flush inset panel on a  
sheet of 1/4" (6) thick material and insert the backing  
material into the channel.

Flush Inset Panels—Dual Installation  
When installing two models WS-30 or a model WS-30 and  
built-in unit side by side in a flush inset application, you  
must decrease the width of the decorative flush inset  
panels by 1/2" (13). Adjustments to the panel offsets will  
also need to be made. These adjustments are needed to  
achieve a proper fit and to ensure the panels do not  
collide when closing. Panel dimensions in the chart below  
have been adjusted to reflect the decrease in panel  
dimensions.
