SUB-ZERO BUILT-IN USE & CARE
OPERATIONS
DOOR AND DRAWER CLOSING
O
ver-and-under models:
Y
our refrigerator door
has a doorclosing camto help in closing the
d
oor. With the door opened to about 110°, the
cam will holdinthe open position if the door is
stopped. As youclose the door,the camwill take
over at about 15° tohelp close thedoor.
Your freezer drawer hasa self-closing mecha-
nism. The incline, built into roller assemblies on
the drawer,uses gravity to assist in closing the
drawer.
If your Built-In unit is positioned in a corner, you
may want to install an optional door stop, which
limits door opening to90°. This door stop is pro-
vided with each Built-In model and isshipped in
a plastic baginthe grille area.
DOOR CLOSING
All refrigerator, all freezer and side-by-side
models:
Your refrigerator and freezer doors have
spring-loaded closure mechanisms. As the doors
are closed, the door closure engages to help
close and seal the doors. A 90°door stop is pro-
vided with each unit and is shipped in a plastic
bag in the grille area.

ll Sub-Zero Built-In models have afan behind
the grilletocool the compressor area. This fan
r
uns with either compressor.
AUTOMATIC DEFROST
Your Sub-Zero unit isequipped with an auto-
matic defrost system. The refrigerator section
will defrost during each off cycle of therefriger-
ator compressor. The freezer section is con-
trolled byanenergy-saving Adaptive Defrost
system, which defrosts as needed.
SOUNDS
You may hear some noises in the normal opera-
tion of theunit. Surrounding acoustics like walls,
floors andcabinets may affect thesound of your
unit. For example, a gurgling orrunning water
sound is probably refrigerant circulating through
the tubing.In Models ICBBI-42SD and ICBBI-
48SD, the icedispenser motor insidethe refriger-
ator door closes five seconds after either the
or key pad is released.
During theice maker cycle you may hear the
sound of ice dropping into the container or the
water valve operating while refilling the ice
maker withwater. During thefreezer defrost you
may hear crackling and/or sizzling as the heat
from the defrost element clearsthe frost from
the freezer coil and water runs into the water
pan.
While the compressorsare in operation, you
may hear a slight hum.During the start-up and
shutdown of the compressor, you may feel vibra-
tion for a few seconds.
Some of these noises may be enhanced when
the unit door(s) are open.
VACATION TIME
For extended vacations, shut offpower to the
u
nit. Emptythe unit andblock the doors open
slightly. A 25 mm spacewill let fresh air in to
keep the interior dry andfresh.
For short vacations, remove all perishable items.
Shut off the ice maker and empty the ice bucket.
D
o not change the control settings.
If the unitis put into service temporarily and

fresh air to circulate inside the unit. Be sure to
shut off power to the unit.
If your religious observances (Sabbath Mode)
require turning off the lights andice maker, see
Sabbath Mode, page 8.
ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
DISPENSER WATER GRILLE
F
or dispenser models, a water grille at the base
of the glasswell will catch and evaporate small
spills. Because there is no drain in this area, do
not pour water into the water grille. To clean the
area, remove the water grillebypressing the
f
ront left corner of the grille andlifting it out.
L
OCK

glasswell aredeactivatedtoallow cleaning or to
prevent small children from using the dispenser.
To activate the lock feature, hold down the
key pad onthe glasswell until the key pad lights
flash onceand the red icon isilluminated
(approximately five seconds). The lights will

key pad until the key pad lights flash once and
the red icon is nolonger illuminated
(approximately five seconds). The lights will

in service. Moisture buildup during even the
shortest amount of run time could attack the
interior metal surfaces.
