Refrigerator Storage

GLASS SHELVES

To remove or adjust a glass shelf, tilt up, then lift up and out.

To reposition, insert shelf in the tracks along the back wall,

then lower the front until it locks into position. Refer to the

illustration below.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Use care when handling glass shelves to

prevent breakage or scratching the interior.

CAUTION

Glass shelves should warm to room temperature before

immersing in warm water.

SLIDE-OUT BINS

Integrated rails mounted below the glass shelves allow

slide-out bins to be positioned in a variety of locations. To

remove or adjust a slide-out bin, pull the handle of the bin

forward until it stops, lift up and out of the rails. Refer to the

illustration below.

Keeping Food At Its Best

This Sub-Zero features a unique dual refrigeration system

to keep food fresher longer. Three separate controls allow

the refrigerator, refrigerator drawers and freezer to be set at

different temperatures.

With the Sub-Zero dual refrigeration system, individual

refrigerator and freezer systems have been designed to

maintain accurate, consistent temperatures and proper

humidity levels for longer food life expectancy. Dual refrig-

eration eliminates transfer of fresh food odors to frozen

food and ice and does not freeze the moisture out of the

air in the fresh food section.

both sides of the drawer front and pull out. To reinstall, raise

the front of the drawer and place onto drawer slide tracks.

The water ltration system of Sub-Zero PRO 48 models

supplies ltered water to the ice maker to produce great-

tasting ice.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When using the water ltration system

for the rst time and after lter replacement, it is necessary

to clear any air from the system and allow the lter to assist

in cleaning the water lines. Discard the rst two full con-

tainers of ice.

If the water ltration system will not be utilized, it can be

placed in water lter bypass mode by removing the lter.

The lter is rated for 750 gallons (2839 L) or one year,

whichever comes rst. When the lter needs to be replaced,

‘REPLACE FILTER’ will be visible in the external display.

Replacement Sub-Zero water lters can be ordered online
