A R E A R E Q U I R E M E N T S
Wine bottles are heavy. A fully loaded
unit will weigh over 200 lbs (91 kg). Be
sure the subflooring is adequate for the
weight of both the unit and its contents.
Before moving the unit into place, be sure that
the rough opening dimensions, electrical
location, and minimum door clearances are
accurate. Refer to the illustration below. Also
Refer to page 5 for overall dimensions.
Be sure your electrician and cabinet installer
have this information before finishing work is
completed.
The Model 315W is intended for indoor
use only.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure the floor under
the unit is level with the surrounding finished
floor.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For corner installations,
door swing may be limited due to handle
contact with the adjacent wall or cabinet face.
You must allow a minimum of 2" (51) from the
wall for a 90˚ door opening. This will ensure
that the wine shelves can be fully extended.

ELECTRICAL R E Q U I R E M E N T S
KICKPLATE A I R F L OW
A 115 V AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit breaker and
electrical supply are required. A separate
circuit is required for each unit.
The wine cooler uses a fan to take in room air
through vents in the left side of the kickplate,
and discharges warm air through vents in the
right side. These vents must be kept clear of
obstructions or decorative panels. Blocking or
obstructing the kickplate will restrict air flow
and cause a decrease in performance and
efficiency. Refer to the illustration below.
The Model 315W is equipped with a power
supply cord with a 3-prong grounding plug,
which must be plugged into a mating 3-prong
grounding-type wall receptacle. Refer to the
illustration below. Follow the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances
when installing the receptacle. For location of
the electrical supply, refer to the Rough
Opening Dimensions illustration on page 6.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The minimum air
temperature the wine cooler will operate in is
50˚F (10˚C), and the maximum is 100˚F (38˚C).
IMPORTANT NOTE: A ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) is not recommended and
may cause interruption of operation.
MOVING T H E U N I T
IMPORTANT NOTE: When you move the unit
using a hand truck or dolly, position the dolly
on the side of the unit and secure the door so
it does not open while transporting.
Do not use an extension cord or two-
prong adapter. Electrical ground is
required on this appliance. Do not remove
the power supply cord ground prong.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When moving and
installing the Model 315W/S, be sure to protect
all stainless steel surfaces from scratches.
Once the unit is in place, remove any tape or
other packaging material from the inside.
Check that all wine shelves fully extend.
Any finished flooring should be protected
with appropriate material to avoid any
damage from moving the unit.

BLOCKING F O R S A F E T Y
LEVELING T H E U N I T
To prevent the unit from tipping forward
if multiple loaded bottle racks are pulled
out at one time, and to provide a stable
installation, the unit must be secured in
place with an anti-tip device.
Shut off the power to the electrical outlet.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The unit must be leveled
prior to placing it in the rough opening.
There are four leveling legs on the Model
315W, one at each corner. To assist you in
adjusting the front leveling legs up or down,
tip the unit back slightly to allow access to
leveling legs. Use a pliers and place around
the leveling leg, or use a screwdriver and turn
the front leg to make necessary adjustments.
A metal antip-tip bracket and screws are
provided with the unit. Attach the anti-tip
bracket to the top of the unit, opposite the
hinge side. The bracket offset flange should be
facing up with the two oblong holes also in the
front. Once the unit is moved into position,
open the door and secure the anti-tip bracket
to the countertop. Refer to illustration below.
To level the unit, turn the leveling legs counter-
clockwise to raise the unit, or clockwise to
lower it. Refer to the illustration below.
To assist you in proper leveling, we recom-
mend using a 2' (.6 m) level. There are two
recommended level locations: along the top of
the unit or on either exterior side of the unit.
These positions will help determine the vertical
and horizontal level point. In order to access
these leveling positions, the unit will have to
be slightly out of the opening.
Place the unit in the rough opening. Make sure
the power cord is plugged in before position-
ing the unit. Turn the power back on to the
electrical outlet.

KICKPLATE I N S TA L L AT I O N
PANEL C O N S I D E R AT I O N S
Once the Model 315W is in place, you can
install the kickplate. There is some adjustment
to the mounting assembly so that the kickplate
will fit flush with the surrounding area. Be sure
that nothing obstructs the vents of the kick-
plate. Refer to the illustration below.
The Model 315W offers two door panel design
alternatives; stainless steel (/S) or overlay (/O).
Both of these design options are available with
glass (G) doors.
Model 315W/S (classic stainless steel) is
shipped from the factory with the decorative
stainless steel door panel and matching handle
in place.
The kickplate can be painted another color, if
you choose. Follow these easy steps:
Rough up surface to be painted with fine
grit sandpaper
The Model 315W/O (overlay) door is designed
to accept a decorative door panel to match
surrounding cabinetry. The door panel and the
handle will be provided by the customer.
Wipe with alcohol to ensure it is clean and
dry
For overlay panel handle hardware, we recom-
mend a D-style handle, centered top to bottom
along the edge opposite the hinge. You may
have to countersink screw heads to ensure
hardware does not interfere with panels fitting
flush with unit doors.
Use an appliance or industrial grade oil
base, or high gloss enamel paint
DO NOT cover the kickplate area.
Before beginning installation, check for the
correct components for the fit and finish
desired.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Model 315W has
been designed to be serviced in place, but in
some cases it may be necessary to pull the
unit out for service. For this reason, do not
restrict access to the cabinet at the front top
and bottom.
If you have questions, contact your Sub-Zero
dealer or cabinet supplier. Additional panel
information can be found in the Sub-Zero
Design Guide. Check our website at
subzero.com.
If a floor is to be installed after the unit has
been installed, spacing shims equal to the
thickness of the floor should be installed under
the unit to keep it level with the floor.

A decorative panel is attached to the Model
315W door using #8 x 5/8" (16) 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 temporar-
ily inserted into the 1/4" (6) diameter holes in
the front of the glass door frame. Refer to the
illustration below.
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
appearance, open the door and apply the
remainder of the screws. Check all screws for
tightness.

With the 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.
numerous mounting holes on each side of the
door. This is to accommodate the Sub-Zero
accessory handles and provide for easy attach-
ment of the handle through the door frame.
The illustration below shows how the holes
pass 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.
The door panel is then removed 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.
Exercise caution when drilling holes for
mounting the panel to the door frame.
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 door
panel in place properly.

of the door panel with a narrow outer rim and
no connecting center member requires the
support provided by the glass door.
The wine cooler 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

page 17. Check the household fuse or circuit
breaker to see if it has been blown or tripped
and that the electrical connection to the appli-
ance has not been disconnected. A power
outage may also have caused a disruption in
service.
