CAUTION
As the reveal between cabinets and the 700 Series unit
decreases, the potential exists for severe finger pinch-
ing or crushing if a hand or fingers are placed in the
opening when the door is closing.
CAUTION
When 5/8-inch or larger panels are used and a reveal
less than 1/4-inch is maintained, the door panels may
cause damage to the Sub-Zero unit when the door is
open at the maximum 105˚ stop. You should use the
built-in 90˚ stop to prevent damage.
SPECIAL NOTE: In an installation where you are plac-
ing two 700 Series tall units next to one another and
providing a minimum 1/8-inch reveal, refer to illustra-

Overview

The Sub-Zero 700 Series is a line of integrated refrigeration units designed to blend seamlessly with framed cabinetry, offering a sophisticated and custom look for any kitchen. These units are engineered to be fully concealed behind custom door and drawer panels, allowing them to disappear into the surrounding cabinetry. The design emphasizes flexibility in installation, accommodating various cabinet styles such as full overlay, standard overlay, 3/8" offset, and beaded inset applications.

Function Description

The primary function of the Sub-Zero 700 Series is to provide advanced refrigeration and/or freezing capabilities while maintaining a completely integrated aesthetic. These units are designed to be installed within existing or new framed cabinetry, accepting custom panels that match the surrounding kitchen decor. This integration allows for a continuous flow of cabinetry, making the appliance virtually invisible.

The units are equipped with a sophisticated cooling system that ensures optimal food preservation. While specific cooling technologies are not detailed in the provided excerpts, the emphasis on precise integration suggests a design that prioritizes both performance and aesthetics. The door and drawer mechanisms are engineered to support custom panels, allowing for a wide range of design choices. The units are designed to be compatible with various panel thicknesses and styles, providing designers and homeowners with significant flexibility.

Usage Features

The Sub-Zero 700 Series offers several usage features that enhance its functionality and integration:

  • Custom Panel Integration: The most prominent feature is the ability to accept custom door and drawer panels. This allows the appliance to be completely disguised within the cabinetry, creating a truly integrated kitchen design. The manual provides detailed instructions and illustrations for various panel applications, including full overlay, standard overlay, 3/8" offset, and beaded inset. This flexibility ensures compatibility with diverse cabinet styles.
  • Flexible Installation Options: The units can be installed in various configurations. They can be installed as single units or as dual units side-by-side, offering solutions for different storage needs and kitchen layouts. The manual highlights the importance of maintaining specific reveals (gaps) between the unit and surrounding cabinetry, typically 1/4-inch (6mm) for most applications, to ensure proper operation and aesthetic consistency.
  • Door and Drawer Panel Weight Limits: To ensure safe and reliable operation, the units have specified weight limits for custom panels: 40 lbs for doors and 12 lbs for each drawer. This information is crucial for designers and cabinet makers to select appropriate materials and construction methods for the custom panels.
  • Adjustable Door Stops: The units feature a 105° maximum door opening, but also include a built-in 90° stop. This feature is particularly important when using thicker panels (5/8-inch or larger) with smaller reveals (less than 1/4-inch), as it helps prevent the door panels from damaging the Sub-Zero unit when fully opened.
  • Clearance Requirements: The manual details specific clearance requirements for the unit, including the distance from the wall (24 inches or 610mm) and the overall depth (27 inches or 686mm). These measurements are critical for proper installation and to ensure that the unit fits correctly within the cabinet opening.
  • Toe Kick Area: A minimum 4-inch (102mm) toe kick area free of panel is critical for the unit to function efficiently, allowing for proper ventilation. This ensures that the mechanical components, particularly the condenser, can operate effectively.
  • Valance and Kickplate Design: The manual provides guidance on designing the upper valance and kickplate areas. The upper valance, if decorative, must stay behind the front plane of the finished molding. The kickplate area below the lower drawer is where the operating mechanical equipment is housed. Any decorative base molding in this area must be removable for servicing and cleaning.
  • Dual Installation Considerations: For installations involving two or more 700 Series units side-by-side with two inches or less of space between them, optional components are necessary. The manual advises contacting a Sub-Zero distributor for proper components and instructions, noting that panel sizes will change in such configurations.

Maintenance Features

While the manual does not explicitly detail a comprehensive list of maintenance features, it highlights several aspects that facilitate maintenance:

  • Removable Base Molding: The decorative base molding in the kickplate area must be removable. This is a crucial maintenance feature, as it allows access for servicing and cleaning of the condenser, which is essential for the unit's efficient operation and longevity.
  • Access to Mechanical Equipment: The design ensures that the operating mechanical equipment, located in the kickplate area, is accessible. This facilitates routine checks and any necessary repairs by service technicians.
  • Panel Removal for Service: Although not explicitly stated as a feature, the modular nature of custom panel integration implies that panels can be removed if necessary for more extensive servicing of the unit.
  • Clearance for Ventilation: The requirement for a minimum 4-inch toe kick area free of panel directly supports maintenance by ensuring adequate ventilation for the condenser. Proper airflow prevents overheating and maintains the efficiency of the cooling system, reducing the need for frequent repairs.

In summary, the Sub-Zero 700 Series is designed for those who prioritize a seamless, integrated kitchen aesthetic without compromising on refrigeration performance. Its extensive customization options, detailed installation guidelines, and consideration for future maintenance make it a sophisticated choice for high-end kitchen designs. The emphasis on precise reveals, panel weight limits, and ventilation requirements underscores the meticulous engineering behind these integrated appliances.
