The depth of each model is 2318 " (587). Allow for panel thickness when planning the finished opening depth. A minimum 312 " (89) finished return is required on all sides of the opening. Framed cabinets require additional finished filler material behind the face frame for a proper installation. Refer to the illustration.

DUAL INSTALLATION

If two units are installed side by side, a dual installation kit may be required. Installations without a custom filler strip require a dual installation kit. If a dual installation kit is not specified, a 2" (51) filler strip is recommended between the units. Dual installations without a filler strip can only be accomplished using two units with opposite hinges. Refer to the illustrations below.

Dual installation kits are available through an authorized Sub-Zero dealer. For local dealer information, visit the find a showroom section of our website, subzero.com. For questions regarding the installation, call Sub-Zero Customer Care at 800-222-7820.

Plumbing Requirements

MODEL DEU2450CI

Installation must comply with all applicable plumbing codes.

For ease of installation, recess the water shut-off into the wall or place it in an adjacent cabinet. Locate the water supply line within the shaded area shown in the illustration below. Connect the water supply line to the house supply with an easily accessible shut-off valve. Do not use self-piercing valves.

An in-line filter is required when water conditions have a high sediment content.

A reverse osmosis system can be used provided there is constant water pressure of 35–120 psi (2.4–8.3 bar) supplied to the unit at all times. A copper line is not recommended for this application.

PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS

Water Supply Line 14 " OD copper, braided

stainless steel, or PEX tubing

Water Pressure 35–120 psi (2.4–8.3 bar)
Excess Water Line for Connection 5' (1.5 m)

Anti-Tip Bracket

WARNING

To prevent the unit from tipping forward, the anti-tip bracket must be installed.

The anti-tip bracket should be attached to the wall behind the unit with the bracket flange located 14 " (6) above the top of the unit. Refer to the illustration below. Failure to properly position the anti-tip bracket will prevent proper engagement.

ANTI-TIP BRACKET 1/4" (6)

90° Door Stop

The door stop pins provided with the unit limit the door swing to 90°.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If a 90° door opening is desired, the pins must be installed prior to installing the unit into the opening.

To install, open the door to approximately 80°. Insert one pin into each hinge. Refer to the illustration below.

Placement

CAUTION

Before moving the unit into position, secure the door closed and protect any finished flooring.

WARNING

When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.

Use an appliance dolly to move the unit near the opening.

If the unit has been on its back or side, it must stand upright for a minimum of 24 hours before connecting power.

Plug the power cord into the grounded outlet. For model DEU2450CI, insert the water supply line into the hole on the back of the unit. Refer to the illustration below. Pull the excess water line forward as the unit is slid into the opening. Verify the anti-tip bracket is properly engaged.

LEVELING

Once the unit is in position, rotate the front legs clockwise to raise and counterclockwise to lower. Rear height adjustment can be made from the front. Using a Phillips drive, turn clockwise to raise the unit or counterclockwise to lower. Use the lowest torque setting when using a power drill. Do not turn the leveling legs by hand. Refer to the illustration below.

When the unit is properly leveled, door adjustments are less likely to be necessary.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Level the unit to the floor, not the surrounding cabinetry. This could affect the operation of the unit, such as door closing.

WARNING

To reduce the possibility of the unit tipping forward, the front leveling legs must be in contact with the floor.

ANCHORING

CAUTION

If using a power drill to predrill holes or install screws, verify the drill chuck does not contact the units face frame.

Adjust the depth of the unit to fit flush with the surrounding cabinetry. Allow for panel thickness. Once aligned, verify the door opens properly, then install a #8 x 1/2" flat-decorative head screw in each bracket.

WARNING

To avoid a hazard due to instability of the appliance, it must be fixed in accordance with the instructions.

Water Line

MODEL DEU2450CI

Under the unit, 14 " plastic tubing is connected to the unit with a preassembled 14 " compression connection. The water line fitting connection kit, provided with the unit, contains a 14 " compression union fitting for connection to the household water line.

Purge the water line prior to final connection to the unit. This will remove any debris that may be present in the tubing from installing the new water line. Connect the plastic tubing from the unit to the house water supply line with the fitting connection kit provided. Refer to the illustration below. Check all water line fittings for leaks.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Water lines cannot be exposed to freezing temperatures.

WARNING

Connect to potable water supply only.

DOOR PANEL INSTALLATION

Placement of the template must be adjusted for panels exceeding the typical dimensions.

Place the panel face down on a protected work surface. Position the template flush with the top and sides of the panel. Verify the correct side of the template is being used, then mark and drill pilot holes. Refer to the illustration below.

Door panel template

Use a Torx drive to partially insert a #8 x 1/2" screw into the second hole from the top on each side of the panel. The screws should be approximately 3/16" (4) proud of the panel and will support the weight of the panel during installation.

Align the support screws on the back of the panel with the slotted holes on both door mounting brackets. Refer to the illustration below. Opening the door slightly may help with alignment. Once the panel is supported by the screws, partially insert a #8 x 1/2" screw into the second hole from the bottom on each side of the panel, but do not tighten.

CAUTION

As reveals between cabinetry and the unit decrease, severe finger pinching can occur while the door is closing.

Panel Installation

DOOR PANEL ADJUSTMENT

Close the door. Make any necessary adjustments to align the panel and reveals.

For side-to-side adjustment, move the panel side to side, then install and tighten all mounting screws.

For up-and-down and in-and-out adjustments, slightly loosen the bracket screws. Depending on the level of adjustment required, it may be helpful to loosen all of the bracket screws which will allow for maximum adjustment.

Once the bracket screws are loosened, use a wrench to rotate the cams to make adjustments. After the adjustments have been made, tighten all bracket screws. Refer to the illustrations below.
