Built-In Use & Care

Electronic Control System

The electronic control system of your Sub-Zero built-in
unit monitors and accurately displays temperatures within
one degree of your preset temperature. It also monitors
operation of the unit and lets you know if there's a
problem. The control panel is located in the refrigerator
section of all models, except model BI-36F where it is in
the freezer section. Refer to the illustration below.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Your new built-in unit was thoroughly inspected and
tested before it was shipped from the Sub-Zero factory.
Temperatures are preset at 38°F
section and 0°F in the freezer section. Tempera-
(-18°C)
tures are displayed in the control panel display.
For combination units, there are two sets of COLDER
and WARMER key pads on the control panel, one for the
refrigerator section and the other for the freezer section.
Models BI-36R, BI-36RG and BI-36F have only one set of
COLDER and WARMER key pads.
To adjust the temperature in either section, press the
COLDER or WARMER key pads on the control panel.
Refer to the illustration below.

The temperature ranges are -5°F
in the freezer section, and 34°F
refrigerator section. It is normal for temperatures to fluctu-
ate slightly, depending on external influences such as an
open door, the degree of humidity and room temperature.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Always allow 24 hours for the unit to
reach the temperature you set.
TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
The electronic control system can display temperatures in
Fahrenheit (°F) or Celsius (°C).
To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, turn the unit off then
back on. Within the first minute after turning the unit on,
press and hold the ALARM key pad and the POWER key
pad simultaneously for five seconds, then release. A 'C'
will appear in the upper right of the temperature readings
on the LCD. Follow the same procedure to convert from
Celsius to Fahrenheit.
POWER
All Sub-Zero built-in models feature a POWER key pad on
the control panel. This key pad will turn off all electrical
power to the unit. When the power is off, the OFF indica-
tor light will be visible in the control panel display. Using
the POWER key pad means you do not have to shut off
power at the circuit breaker or wall receptacle. The key
pad can be used during service or extended vacations.
