PRODUCT OPERATION
The importance of the installation of
your Sub-Zero CANNOT be
overemphasized. The proper
Installation of your unit Is the
responsibility of the selling dealer or
installer. Any questions or problems
pertaining to the Installation should be

TEMPERATURE
CONTROL LOCATION
AND ADJUSTMENTS
Your new refrigerator and/or freezer was
thoroughly inspected and tested before it
was shipped from the Sub-Zero factory.
During these procedures, the temperatures
were preset to maintain approximately 38
degrees in the refrigerator section and
approximately 0 degrees in the freezer
section (except 249R). If you wish to make
temperature adjustments, simply turn the
temperature control dial. The higher the
number the colder the temperature (#1 is
the warmest and #7 is the coldest setting).
For the location of the control, refer to the
model of your Sub-Zero on the following
pages.
You should be aware it is normal for the
above temperatures to fluctuate slightly,
depending on external influence such as:
open door for extended periods, the
degree of humidity present and room tem­
perature.

SOUNDS
Certain noises may be evident with the
normal operation of the unit. Surrounding
acoustics like walls, floors and cabinets
may affect the sound level of your unit.
A gurgling sound or running water sound
may be evident as the refrigerant circulates
through the tubing.
During the icemaker cycle, you may hear
the sound of ice dropping into the bucket
or the solenoid valve while refilling the ice­
maker with water.
During the freezer defrost, you may hear
crackling and/or sizzling as the heat from
the defrost element clears the frost from the
freezer coil and water runs into the defrost
water pan.
While the compressors are in operation, a
slight hum might be evident. During the
startup and shutdown of the compressor,
some vibration may occur lasting only a
few seconds.
ICEMAKER OPERATION
The icemaker in your Sub-Zero is fully auto­
matic and has been factory pretested. To
put into operation, it requires only a con­
nection to the house water supply.
