Installation Information
INTEGRATED COLUMNS SERIES
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
This section covers common installation issues encountered by service technicians. Improper installation, while not a service issue itself, can lead to customer service calls. These issues may include unit leveling, unit movement, doors not sealing, internal frost or condensation, and warm compartment temperatures.
NOTE: For additional installation details, consult the complete Installation Manual or contact the Sub-Zero Technical Assistance Department.
WARNING
The unit can tip forward under certain load conditions. Failure to install anti-tip components and extend levelers to the floor as per the Installation Manual can result in serious personal injury or death.
Unit Leveling
NOTE: The kickplate/grille must be removed before leveling (See Figure 2-1). If the unit is already anchored to the cabinets, remove the side molding strips and extract the anchor screws from the unit to cabinet brackets before leveling (See Figure 2-2). These components must be reinstalled after leveling.
[Diagram showing kickplate/grille removal]
To level the unit, turn the front leveling legs counter-clockwise to raise the front or clockwise to lower it. Use a standard straight-blade screwdriver placed in the foot of the front leg to rotate the leveler foot in the desired direction (See Figure 2-3).

Rear Leveler Adjustment
The rear levelers are adjusted from the front of the base by turning the Phillips head adjusting screw. The long adjusting screw extends to the rear leveler assembly. Turn the screw clockwise to raise the rear or counter-clockwise to lower it (See Figure 2-4).
NOTE: The rear leveling legs move 1/16" for every 18 revolutions of the Phillips head screw. Avoid over-torquing. Use the lowest torque setting on any power screwdriver. Do not turn rear leveling legs by hand, as this can damage the assembly.

Door Adjustment
The doors are not adjustable. If there is an alignment problem, the door panel must be adjusted. Refer to the Installation Manual for panel installation and adjustment procedures.
NOTE: The unit must be level before attempting to adjust the door panel.
Door Stop Adjustment
This Series features a 90° door stop cam integrated into the hinge system. The cam is located in the center of each hinge. Adjust it by using a standard straight-blade screwdriver to rotate the cam until it reaches the stop point (See Figure 2-5).
NOTE: This adjustment must be performed on both the bottom and top hinges.

Dual Unit Installations
CAUTION
If two or more units are placed side by side and are 2 inches or less apart, a dual unit heater package must be applied to the left side of the right-hand unit. Failure to install this package may result in exterior condensation between the units.
- If two Tall units are installed side by side and are 2 inches or less apart, part #7007529 (AKA TTDUAL) should be used (See Figure 2-6).
- If two Base units are installed side by side and are 2 inches or less apart, part #7007530 (AKA #BBDUAL) should be used.
- If a Tall unit is installed next to a Base unit and they are 2 inches or less apart, part #7007530 (AKA #BBDUAL) should be used.
Complete installation instructions are provided with the #7007530 and #7007529 packages.
