EXTERNAL DISPENSER
For external dispenser models, the dispenser glasswell will 
need to be removed before custom panels can be installed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The total panel thickness (including 
backer and spacer, if used) in the glasswell area can range 
from 6 mm to a maximum 29 mm. If the panel is thicker, the 
area must be routed to 29 mm maximum thickness.
To remove the glasswell, lift the water grille up and out. 
Remove the control panel by removing the center plastic 
mandrel supports. Tilt the control panel out and disconnect 
the wire harness (blue side up) from the back side. Remove 
the bezel by removing the four screws. Refer to the illustra-
tions below.
Once custom panels have been installed, reverse the proce-
dure to reinstall the glasswell.
PANEL INSTALLATIONINSTALLATION
Water Line
Approximately .9 m of 
1
/4" plastic tubing is connected to 
the unit with a preassembled 
1
/4" compression connection 
under the unit. The water line tting connection kit, provided 
with the unit, contains a 
1
/4" compression union tting for 
connection to the household water line.
Purge the water line prior to nal connection to the unit. This 
will remove any debris that may be present in the tubing 
from installing the new water line.
Place the sleeve and nut on the water line and fasten 
to the connection at the end of the tubing. Do not over 
tighten. Check all water line ttings for leaks. Verify the 
drain pan can be installed and removed without water line 
interference.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If a reverse osmosis system used, it is 
recommended that the water ltration system be bypassed 
by removing the lter.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Water lines can not be exposed to 
freezing temperatures.
Custom Panels
For overlay and ush inset applications, custom door and 
grille panels must be installed. Panel size is critical for a 
proper t. To verify panel requirements and dimensions, 
refer to the Sub-Zero design guide at subzero.com/specs.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Flush inset applications require a 
minimum 13 mm reveal on all sides.
Finish all sides of custom panels. They may be visible when 
the door is open.
