General Information: Installation Considerations
Installation Considerations
This section covers common installation issues encountered by service technicians. Improper installation can lead to customer complaints such as unit leveling issues, unit movement, door misalignment, poor door/drawer sealing, internal frost or condensation, and incorrect compartment temperatures.
Note: For additional installation information, refer to the complete Installation Manual or contact the Sub-Zero Technical Assistance Department.
Unit Leveling
Note: The kickplate/grille must be removed before leveling (See Figure 2-1). If the unit is anchored to cabinets, remove side molding strips and anchor screws from unit-to-cabinet brackets before leveling (See Figure 2-2). Reinstall these components after leveling.
Figure 2-1. Kickplate/Grille Removal: Illustrates the removal of the kickplate or grille.
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).
Figure 2-2. Side Molding & Bracket: Shows the side molding and bracket attachment for anchoring.
Figure 2-3. Adjusting Front Levelers: Depicts using a screwdriver to adjust the front leveling legs.
The rear levelers are adjusted from the front of the base using a Phillips head adjusting screw. This long screw reaches the rear leveler assembly. Turn clockwise to raise the rear or counter-clockwise to lower it (See Figure 2-4).
Note: Rear leveling legs move approximately 1/16" for every 18 revolutions of the Phillips head screw. Avoid over-torquing. Use the lowest torque setting on power screwdrivers. Do not turn rear leveling legs by hand, as this can damage the assembly.

Door and Drawer Adjustment
Doors and drawers are non-adjustable. If there is an alignment problem, the door or drawer panels must be adjusted. Refer to the Installation Manual and/or installation video for panel installation and adjustment procedures.
Note: The unit must be level before adjusting door and drawer panels.
Note: For closing problems, consult the Tall Unit Door Hinge Operation Test Procedures and Corrections in the Troubleshooting Guide.
Door Stop Adjustment
This series features a 90° door stop cam integrated into the hinge system, located in the center of each hinge. Adjust by rotating the cam with a standard straight-blade screwdriver until it reaches the stop point (See Figure 2-5). Ensure this adjustment is made at both the bottom and top hinges.
Figure 2-5. 90° Door Stop Cam: Shows the location and adjustment of the 90° door stop cam using a screwdriver.
